accident update

 Today I was contacted by Jasmine, a charming sounding young lady from my insurance company so she could take a recorded statement from me about my mini accident on July 1.  It all went very well. I was able to answer all of her questions.  She started with the easy ones like "What is your current address?" "Was anyone in the car with you?" Was anyone injured?"  One question made me laugh though "What is your current birthdate?"  Current?  Is that a changeable thing?  If so I might shave a few years off.   After I answered all of the questions to her satisfaction and reaffirmed that yes, I knew I was being recorded, she told me what to expect next.  I will receive instructions on how to take my own pictures of the damage and the link to send it on to an appraiser.  Then, after a damage estimate is done, I can take my car anywhere I want to to get the body work done.  I like that last part.  If it is decided that the accident wasn't my fault I won't have to pay my deductible.  I like that too.  The fact that he opened his card door and hit my car while I was just innocently in my own lane, slowing down for the stop light, makes me feel pretty confident that he's at fault.  I did make one more unpleasant discovery today.  The back right side door, where most of the damage is, won't open.  It looks like the lock is jammed.  This just gets more and more fun.
