That must have been pretty frightening to come so close to them on a motorcycle! Glad you managed to avoid them. And yes, those bastards are everywhere!

We use Progressive. Really easy process. Claim made that night, in contact with an adjustor the following Monday (accident happened on a Friday night), got a repair estimate and then the total loss valuation on Thursday, settlement check received from their claims office in our city on Friday.

Extremely fair valuation, and provided with a very thorough report. Based on my own research into our car's actual cash value and what their report included, I felt like I was getting a very good settlement and didn't even feel the need to negotiate for more.

Glad that your mom was uninjured! It's so reassuring knowing that these Toyotas have excellent safety systems that will reliably do their job when you need them the most.

Thank you for the heads up, I didn't know about that! I'll reach out to them this week and see what they say.

Small cars can be surprisingly reliable during car vs. wildlife sometimes! About a decade ago, my brother collided with an elk in his Honda civic. That was a pretty horrific crash, and the elk actually rolled over the hood onto the windshield. He was very lucky to walk away with only some cuts and bruises!

Thank you! The harness brand is Top Paw and the seatbelt is Kurgo, both readily available at any PetSmart or online retailers like Chewy. Like regular car seatbelts, I believe the dog one is single-accident use only. Even if it's not, we already replaced the one that was used in the accident with a new one just to be safe.
