This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.
Important notes on articles:
- Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
- Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
- If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

On the auto accident by reilly
I was broadsided by a 16 year old driver last summer, totaling my car. Both I and the other driver had the same insurance (USAA), but they told me the claims would be assigned to different adjusters to avoid the potential for a conflict of interest. My adjuster paid out the value of my car, less the deductible, as soon as they determined that my car was totaled. It took another week or two for them to send me the amount of the deductible as well, once the other driver's adjuster determined she was at fault.
In your case, I would push your adjuster to follow up with the other driver's insurance company to make a determination of fault so they can reimburse your deductible.
