Why does the old driver prefer to let the car soak in the water rather than move? Claim adjuster: This is the master.

With the increase of summer rain, all kinds of cars in many cities will be soaked. After the car is soaked, the inexperienced owner will choose to drive away directly, and it is easy to have a second accident at this time. On the other hand, an old driver will never choose to continue driving after his car is soaked. Many people think that the old driver is timid, but the adjuster tells you that this is the real master. So, let's talk about why the old driver would rather soak his car in the water than move.

You know, there is such a clause in the insurance regulations that man-made damage is not covered by insurance. And if the car is flooded, you can get on the bus and order again. At this time, water will be injected into the engine through the intake pipe, so it goes without saying how serious the engine water is. The flooded engine needs major maintenance or even direct replacement, and the price is 5 digits, and the repair is not necessarily good! And at this time, if the car is flooded and you get on the bus and turn on the light yourself, then the insurance company will not pay any money, because this is the second loss caused by the broken car, and it is polite and well-founded, so admit that you are unlucky.

The old driver's handling method is particularly mature. Generally speaking, when an old driver encounters this situation, the first choice is to call the insurance company and tell the insurance company that there is something wrong with his car, and then wait for the loss adjuster to arrive at the scene to determine the damage, then tow it away from the scene with a trailer and then go to repair it. In this way, there will be no water in the engine, and there will not be too many problems in the driving process after the car is repaired, and the insurance company will also be responsible for the end, so this is a way to kill two birds with one stone.

Finally, I still want to remind everyone that if the vehicle is flooded, don't rush to check it yourself, because there are many undercurrents underwater, and you may be directly knocked down by the water as soon as you pass, which is life-threatening. So calling a trailer is the most reliable way, or wait until the water level drops before making a decision.
