I just had to share this story because I'm still a tad bit shocked:
My SIL was involved in a car accident awhile back in which she got sandwiched in between 2 trucks. Her car was totaled. Thankfully her kids weren't in the car, but her son's car seat was in the back seat. The insurance company said they wouldn't reimburse the car seat because it "wasn't damaged" although they never looked at the seat. So she's been using the car seat
I told her she should have called Evenflo (the manufacturer) because I'm sure they would have told her to replace it. I mean the car was TOTALED. They had to go get a brand new car.
I can't remember, but I know I've read it here on the boards somewhere. What are you supposed to say to the insurance company or ask for when they are hesitant to reimburse the cost of new car seats?
