This is my thread about my recent accident: http://www.car-seat.org/showthread.php?p=2282492#post2282492
My insurance company is giving me trouble about getting replacement seats. They say they are only willing to reimburse what I paid for the seats and have to prove this via receipts. I bought both my SKRXTs on sale; one for $80 less than the RXTs current retail and one on clearance last fall at $160 off the current retail. I can't afford to pay the difference to get new seats! What can I do/say to the insurance company to get them to pay up the whole amount? I already did the, "What if I didn't have a receipt or it was a gift," angle and she said they have guidelines they follow in those circumstances which does NOT include replacement value, only a bare minimum replacement seat. Is there anything I can do or am I screwed? This is ICBC, btw, the public insurance agency in British Columbia.
I honestly am feeling like if I can't get them replaced with RXTs that the low risk of there being actual damage to these seats is much lower than it would be to get lesser restraints and have to turn DS FF.
