Got into a collision...write off?
 

Hi fellas, I got into a collision today, a hit and run. I was parallel parking and a 1 ton truck decided to fly by and clip off my front end...then took off! I honked and he wouldn't stop. Luckily there were two willing witnesses whom I got numbers from.

What I am curious about is whether or not it will be written off of repaired?

Here is a small list of some of what was damaged:

• Hood
• front panel
• Bumper
• moulding strip from bumper
• air ducts
• driver side headlight (housing is smashed under the hood)
• both parking lights
• both fog lights
• Headlight washer system
• Few more odds and ends

Here is a couple pics of the front:

depends on the value of the car and the cost to repair it...

If the costs to repair the vehicle is more than the a certain % of the book value of the vehicle , it will be written off.

just seeing from the pics provided, it doesnt look like a write-off

Defs wont be a write off

Yea won't be a write-off. Cosmetic damage is usually just repaired. If your frame is bent or cracked and shit is really messed up like your driveline and differential then it would most likely be a write-off, also depending on value of car and price to repair.

just incase these icbc bastards try to pull a sneaky one up on you.. make sure you don't sign anything..

I just went thru dealing with them.. such a night mare. ughhhh

Doesn't look like it.. Btw op a little off-topic do you live in a townhouse in Surrey near Holy Cross? I saw a similar car with similar damage parked in the visitor spot

Won't be.

Shitty deal. I don't think were insurance adjusters here so opinions here are good guesses, personally I seen more minor damage on old cars and they get written off, you'll find out when you take it in.

Dont think thats a write off... Looks like cosmetic damages and can be replaced or repaired. Only structual damages to frame and major issues can be written off.

Unless some far out reason, it cost more to repair than... Read this:

Unfortunately not, unless you can get the autobody dude to over estimated the cost eh. Goodluck

used parts are abundant.
it's not a write-off.

where you get that from? if it costs more to repair a vehicle than the vehicle is worth it gets written off. It doesnt matter which particular component is damaged.

Sorry to hear about that man. It looks like not a write off. Call any bodyshop to estimate the repair value.
Did you get the other vehicle's company name by anychance or any witness at that moement?

Read my whole post, I did state what you said "if it costs more to repair a vehicle than the vehicle is worth it gets written off." (in short)... and provided a link.

However I will repost link unless I made an error in linking. I posted via mobile earlier (laugh at self)

Link: ICBC | If your vehicle is a write-off

no way that's a write off

i dont know if this is true but, i think you can refuse the write off and tell them to fix it.

I hope karma catches up to the asshole who hit you. Hit and runs really bring out the pussies. But then again, he was driving a big truck, maybe he didn't see/hear/feel hitting you? :fuckthatshit:

hope you have receipts for all mods...

but i doubt it will be a write off, nice car btw

not a total loss

definitely not a write off.

not even close to write off

+1, no way ICBC is going to write your car off.
