Intersection collisions are among the more serious and most expensive in terms of repair. This is because cars tend to be traveling at a high rate of speed as the result of someone running a red light, leading to severe damage to one or both vehicles.
As a driver, it’s important that you are prepared for all and any emergency. An emergency road kit should be carried at all times and should include a flashlight, road flares, first aid kit, blanket, water, road atlas, and warm clothes (as needed in the winter season).
Our modern life depends on our cars, so having to go without one for even a short amount of time can be a big problem. Auto collision experts understand this, and do everything possible to get your car back on the road quickly.
Did you know that regular maintenance like oil changes can help keep you safe while you drive? The maintenance will make sure that your car is running well, and give your mechanics a chance to check belts, hoses, and other parts for wear.
When the estimated repair costs after a collision are more than a certain percentage of the value of your vehicle, it’s considered a “total loss” or an “economic total loss.” In this case, the insurance company will reimburse you for the value of the vehicle (less any deductible you owe).
