The Smoovf Posted August 29, 2013 Posted August 29, 2013 Hi all. Are you entitled to keep your rear shock when claiming for a broken frame from insurance?
The Smoovf Posted August 29, 2013 Author Posted August 29, 2013 Its for a friend claiming for a broken frame.
Johan Bornman Posted August 29, 2013 Posted August 29, 2013 Its for a friend claiming for a broken frame.There's your answer.
The Smoovf Posted August 29, 2013 Author Posted August 29, 2013 So to be clear the shock does NOT have to go back to insurance if a new frame with a shock is supplied through insurance claim?
niterider Posted August 29, 2013 Posted August 29, 2013 If you're getting a new shock as part of the new frame, then surely the old shock should go back with the old frame??
GrumpyOldGuy Posted August 29, 2013 Posted August 29, 2013 If you're getting a new shock as part of the new frame, then surely the old shock should go back with the old frame?? Yes, it should, insurance is aimed at putting you back in the same position you were before the incident, not improving your previous position.
Stoffel76 Posted August 29, 2013 Posted August 29, 2013 If you're getting a new shock as part of the new frame, then surely the old shock should go back with the old frame?? I would think so too... It would be a bit like claiming for a new cellphone and keeping the battery of the old one... Your friend could try speaking to the assessor to find out if he can buy the salvage back. Handing the old shock back is no loss to your friend - he's getting a brand new shock to replace his second hand one...
