Help I had an accident today ...

I got caught out in a massive hailstorm in a '66 Dart 270 (I had comprehensive on the car). The Insurance company offered me $2500.00 and they kept the car or $2000.00 to me to keep the car. The $400.00 represents the salvage value of the car and 100.00 the deductible on the policy.

What the insurance company is willing to do is going to depend on the coverage you had on the car. If you had only the minimum required by your state, you'll probably not going to get any help from insurance. Suggest you read the policy before you sit down with the insurance company reps. If they're obligated to pay, DusterManiac's ideas are good.
