that sucks, sorry to hear. personally I think the insurance company of the person who cut you off should foot the bill...but that will never happen.
I can't stand bad drivers....

look at your hard copy of the policy. if it doesn't specifically state that, they can't deny your claim.

Well, the insurance co. is picking up the tab for the new strut (Aftermarket).. which surprises me. The tire is freakin rediculous. I'm going to be callig the supervisor there and finding out why the hell they aren't covering my tire at least. In diffrnet states/insurnace companies, aftermarket insurance is now "optional". It wasn't when I started my esurance policy 3 years ago. But apparently that has taken affect 6 months ago or so.

Chad,
Sorry to hear about that, but even if they don't cover the aftermarket wheel, they should be liable to pay the amount of what a stock wheel/tire would cost to replace. This will most likely still be less than your current setup, but should get you much closer to your overall cost of things. Try arguing that angle with them. If the pothole did enough damage to blow a strut, they can't claim that a stock wheel wouldn't have been bent/destroyed as well.
