Speed bumps

Hi guys

I actually hit some speed bumps and my bottom oil pan got broken. Within minutes, the engine also damaged. Will these damages be covered under collision coverage under the policy, please someone let me know...

Thanks

Yes, it will be covered under collision coverage.

Yep....it WOULD be covered, as TCOPE had said. However......(just curious here..) were you going over a speedbump at a fast rate of speed? OR.....would you have THAT much damage if you were going over the bump at a low speed?

SD – some of those sneak up on you…. Really, I’m not being funny. Some of those are put in the strangest places and some seem a lot higher then they should be.

Would damages be covered under collision – yes a tcope stated. Is the cause of damages (to engine) going to be questioned – I would bet yes.

DASFUK......well, yeah,...makes sense. A few of them, that I've driven over, were higher than I thought, as well. I guess if you have a car that's low to the ground ( and some are lower than others), you COULD rip an Oil Pan off or do other damage.

this is one point everybody should consider. Better take care.

yep...all in agreement, collision coverage will handle it.

Seriously!!.........I never knew that Collision would handle something like this. What about just Liability?..would it cover the 'Speed Bump' thing?

Sure, collision handles a 'collision' with anything other than an animal pretty much...

Liability on who's part? the parking lot owner? good luck... :wink: liability only on an auto policy of course wouldn't pay anything unless the parking lot filed a claim against you for damaging their speed bump... :wink:
