A friend of mine owns a bodyshop. He just got a late model Toyota in which had damage to all four corners of the car.
The cars owner is in her '80s. She had just moved to a new home with a carport. When she pulled in she hit the right front fender. She backed up and hit a rear panel. She pulled forward again and hit the other fender, then went into reverse and hit the other quarter panel.
The women called State Farm and told them what happened. They told her that she is responsible for FOUR $500 deductibles!! They said that each hit was a separate accident since at any time she could have stopped the damage by getting out of the car and letting someone else move it for her.
Kind of harsh, but I can see their point...
