Last month, I lost control of by car due to the tread seperating from one of my tires, and I came to rest in a ditch against a chain link fence owned by a city. Two of the steel polls were damaged. Today, I found that they had billed my insurance company $845 - about $100 over the 'point on your record' line. I asked for a discription of what was on the bill from my claims guy, and he said that most of it was the 10 man hours at $63 an hour - I assume that means two guys took 5 hours to fix it. Am I the only one that thinks that is insane? Is there anything I can do to contest the dollar amount of damage done? This is in California.
