Oldest child, nearly 18, was leaving school yesterday in our 2004 Honda Element. She was pulling out of the exit and people were stopped to the left to pick up children at the curb, instead of waiting in the pickup line and someone pulled out and they collided. She is bumped and bruised from the airbag deployment, but it appears the vehicle is not going to be fixed by insurance (only the required liability on an older paid for vehicle). The damage, structurally, is minimal and the vehicle is drivable, but since the airbags deployed, the cost to fix may be more than the value of the vehicle and it would be hard to drive with the airbags everywhere...

Grrr....

Glad she is OK. Sounds like the other driver/driver's insurance should pay?
