Claim Issues: Non Functioning Electrical After Impact

[tito]

Odds are, your battery is bad and was going to die anyway. Have someone test the battery.

I don't know how old your battery is, so once you determine this is the cause, you can argue with the insurance adjuster about it. If the battery is past its warranty point, the conversation is likely to be shortlived. Its doubtful that the accident is what really caused the battery to fail, but just caused it to happen maybe a month early. Unfortunately, batteries do end up being replaced over time.

The adjuster may give you a few dollars towards a new battery if you can prove it shortened the battery life (which it apparently did). This will not be much, but hey, every bit helps!

If the battery isn't bad, then you have a different problem and all bets are off.
