This is not true! Anything insurance offers is a settlement. You have the right to be restored. Only you decide when restoration is complete.

Does this look like a total. Just got in December has just under 3k miles.
Just, why?
Madman....so pissed at the moment, I love that truck. Thank you for the kind words and infoI hate people!
Criminals make me long for the Wild West days. I know things weren’t civil back then, but the ability to give some instant justice to those who deserve it is what I mean.
Sorry man. This is the fear of a lot of us every day with our rigs, so I’m sending good vibes your way.
To the question; doesn’t look totaled, but it may take a while to fix. I know a good shop will want to replace that rear axle and components on both sides to ensure your ride quality gets back to normal.
Tell the guys to take their time and don’t rush the fix. You’ll likely need to fight with your insurance company. I’d also hire a lawyer. Hate this part, but technically, police shouldn’t do high speed chases due to collateral damage and liability, so getting some money from the city, county, or state may be necessary to seek out, just don’t like it. Cops were just trying to protect us all and catch the bastards that caused this and some other mess or prevent even worse.
However, in the end, you need to be made whole and local governments don’t part with such money easily. If they do in this instance, may be something like $10K would be fair and that could be used for some suspension upgrades! A lawyer is going to go for a big settlement like closer to $100K, but of course, most of that would be for themselves.
Keep us updated man. Any others here shouldn’t go through this nightmare blind.
Glad you weren’t hurt, but I know you’re pissed to no end.
Did airbags deploy? Suspension mangled? Most Broncos I have seen at salvage auctions look hardly damaged but many of them have had all bags deployed and/or one corner of suspension lets say redecorated. Seems like ford designed the airbags with hair triggers likely incase of off roading rollovers. With supply issues and costs to insurance companies to hold a vehicle and wait I'm guessing it's adding to the number of "total losses" if you have rental coverage for instance and parts ETA is 6 months plus the costs of parts labor ect. I would definitely pursue loss of value regardless. If you're lucky have it totalled out,paid off then buy it back cheap. You have the legal right to retain the vehicle at the price the insurance company gives you before auctioning if they do total it. It's highly likely one who runs from the police is not insured so this could get get messy. Good reminder to have uninsured and under insured coverages. Too many dipshits without insurance and even licenses out there with little to no consequence.Cops were chasing a Jeep Cherokee and it hit me.

Sorry. This sucks. Important to note you have the legal right to pick a repair shop. Insurance shops only have the insurance comapnies interest in mind. Sure hope no flex happened with the unobtainium hard top.Cops were chasing a Jeep Cherokee and it hit me.
