Well, the field adjuster from my insurance just called. He has inspected the Focus and determined a base value of $9,218, which is more than I actually owe (I didn't tell him that...). Plus, he said that if I can show receipts for proper engine maintenance and the tires, I can add on as much as about $500 more.
Also, I got ahold of FHP and the accident report is now available. I'll pick it up tomorrow. I asked the woman on the phone if fault was established, and she said that no where on the report does it say a citation was issued. So, I'm still not sure about that. She did say that at least one witness stayed and gave a statement.
So, it looks like everything is lining up. The only part that I'm sure of is whether or not my health insurance will help pay the hospital bills (i.e. my personal injury deductible is $1,000). Does anyone know? It would really suck to have to pay out $1,500 in deductibles for something that was just a freak accident.
