Well, it just happened. I'd a claim. I was driving home from work and two dogs chasing one another ran out before me. It was raining out and I did so bust on my wheels, but it was just too late.<br /><br /> I hit both dogs. There was nothing that I possibly could do. They were just running so fast and came over a hill and used to do not see them till they were right facing me. I was hoping and wishing that they'd of both been OK, but that was not the case. One dog lasted and the other did not.So Now What?Well I stopped and got out of the road. There have been as couple people who had arrived of these houses when they heard the accident.<br /><br /> They called the Police for me, and each other helped get the dog out from the road for me. The remaining dog was sitting inside the lawn it was limping but it was OK. I was so upset, I was crying and felt horrible. I have dogs of my own and I understand how much my loved ones and I love them. It was only a very difficult day.The wonderful man who was helping me called the draw on the dog collar so we're able to allow the operator know. There was no way I could get it done, I was just too emotional and was sobbing.<br /><br /> The owner turned up a few minutes later and was upset at the same time. We were both crying, both just expressing how sorry we were. There wasn't any such thing I could do, but I still just felt so horrible.Police ReportWell, the Authorities did appear. They took all of my information and also took all of the dog owners information once they arrived. So he said to go back to my vehicle while he wrote everything up It was raining out. I returned and was just sitting there crying.<br /><br /> I found the owner walking around my car. She apologized again, and therefore did I. She had told me that early in the day that morning she had a Pool organization at her house closing her swimming pool. They have to of left her door open. everyday like she had done when she got home from work, she let the dogs out. She discovered that the gate was open and the dogs were gone, when she went to let them in. She had been searching for them for over 45 minutes.<br /><br /> I got out-of my car and offered her a hug and we both just stood there in the pouring rain crying.The officer finished up returning to my car and helping me understand this plastic part that were destroyed off my tire so that I'd manage to drive my vehicle home. He gave the police report information to me so that I would have the information to give to my Insurance company.Filing The ClaimWell, once I got home, I called the Insurance company to enter the claim. I knew that hitting an animal was a Comprehensive Claim and I'd a Zero Deductible that I'd selected on my policy. Therefore it was not likely to cost me anything out of pocket to get my car fixed. There wasn't a lot of damage, the leading fender was broken, the haze light location broken, and the plastic wheel cover issue was entirely broken off.<br /><br /> In any event it'd have to be set. I offered the Claim Adjuster all my information and what had happened, and we entered the claim. We went over-all the facts, I selected a location to own my car repaired and he gave me my claim number.He did say that they would be sensible to cover the price of the dog (if there were any), and also any vet payments of the injured dog. So at least the lady would not need to purchase that.Some Upsetting NewsWhile I was on the telephone with the claim adjuster he told me that he wanted to let me understand what would happen on the back end of the claim. He explained that they'd spend for my damage to my vehicle now, but what they would do as a company is they'd go after the dog owner, to recoup the money for the damage done to my vehicle.<br /><br /> It had been her responsibility to have them tied up and not running free since they were her creatures. This act that insurance company's do is called Subrogation. Here is the true meaning of it. Subrogation in its most frequent usage refers to circumstances by which an insurance company tries to recover expenses for a state it paid when another party needs to have been responsible for paying at least a portion of this claim.I told him what the lady had told me, about the pool company people leaving the gate open. He said that they'd still go after her for the damage to my automobile, But, most likely her Home Owners Insurance company would then be able to (Subrogate) go after the pool company to recover the damage that they'd find yourself having to pay my insurance company.I was upset at the fact that this poor woman who just lost a puppy, would get some good sort of paper in the mail several months down the road, saying she was going to have to pay XXX Amount of money for the damage done.<br /><br /> It just didn't seem right. But however that is how insurance works behind the scenes.Will My Insurance Premium Go Up?Most probably, Yes it will likely go up some. It shouldn't go up as much as if it were a Collision claim, but I actually do be prepared to see it go up slightly. There's the opportunity it'll perhaps not rise at all, however, you just never know. Typically Comprehensive promises will effect a policy less-than a Collision claim will. So I guess I'll not understand until my policy renews in six months!
