Good timing on my part joining the board here, I'm full of questions these last 2 days!
My best friend was in an accident tonight, not her fault - the other driver recieved a ticket for the accident. My friend has State Farm insurance, not sure what the other driver had, but I'm guessing she was well insured, it was a teenager driving a BMW.
My friend had 4 car seats in her car, which now need to be replaced. Does her insurance cover them or the other driver? Does she just purchase new seats and submit the reciepts to the insurance company? Is there any way to make sure ahead of time that they won't give her a hard time replacing the seats? Luckily I have enough "extra" seats that she can use mine - fortunately they are even appropriate seats for her kids.
Does she get to purchase whatever seats she wants? Or do they have to be the same seats? She had crappy seats in her car (no offense if anyone likes the seats she had ), with one exception. One HB Evenflo Booster, 2 Eddie Bauer Convertible seats - one set to expire later this year and the other still had another 2 years left in it and a Britax Husky set to expire in 2/10.
Which leads me to my last question, the Husky is my seat. She had it in her car borrowing it b/c they went for a long drive the other weekend and just kept it in b/c she drives my DD around a lot. So does she buy a new seat, get reimbursed for it and it's mine?
The only plus side to this and it's only a plus b/c no one was hurt in the accident, is that she really needed new seats and will now be able to get them and put her 5 year old back into a harnessed seat full time.
