This is a weird story

Just shows you need good insurance - cost mine £20k when I put my DBS into a ditch, I had excess cover so even got that back as well. Can't do it to many times though!

The parts prices in that story are eye watering.....

What are the chances she was looking at her phone when she crashed?

With the compensation culture in the US , whats the betting this will end up with the Dealer coughing up to get her off their back

This particular bit of the US is in Canada. Vancouver.

Where, by coincidence, there is far more money than there is driving talent.

Not uncommon. Wants the best but doesn't want to pay, so skimped on the insurance and gets burned. I know these kinds of people, want the best of everything but don't want to pay so get cheap labour to install expensive designer lighting and plumbing fittings etc, which are difficult, complex and often less well made than basic stuff, said idiots try but fail then I come in when none of it works properly and it's all bodged every which way and basically needs ripping out and they sob sob sob at me about how badly ripped off they were and basically expect like I'm going to fix things for free out of pity.

there is a classic saying

"if you think a professional is expensive wait till you pay for an amateur's work"
