[AT] OT-Insurance question - Truck repair

[jahaze at aol.com]

Mike,
Since the vehicle was moving, and you were in it that consider that "at fault".  I don't think there's much you can do.  I'm not an insurance agent, but I can relate a similar story, I was driving on ice, going at most, 5mph, however, when I tried to stop, the pure weight of the truck, combined with the ice caused gravity to take over and I bumped into a parked car, leaving a big dent.
Even though there was nothing I could do, I was considered "at fault" because I was behind the wheel.
Enjoy, Joe

Question for you all. A friend of mine is on vacation, and I am keeping
an eye on his house for him, plowing him out when needed; I basically
drive up and down his driveway to make it look like someone is living
there. The last time I was there I pulled up to the garage door and then
started to back out, it's fairly steep. The first pass was snow, so no
problem, when I went back up, I broke through the snow, and was on glare
ice. I slid down his driveway backwards, and bashed my tailgate into a
pine tree. There was nothing I could do to stop the slide.  Talked to a
local body shop, and they said it would probably be in the area of 2K to
fix. I called my agent, and she said it was an "at fault" accident. Any
thoughts would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Mike M
