THIS DEALS WITH DOG vs. MOTORCYCLE. My nephew owned a pristine 2008 Buell 1125R motorcycle. In Aug. of 2014, a dog who was allowed to run as he wished and loved to chase MCs, came flying from his yard onto road, heading straight for the bike and him. He laid the bike down trying to avoid the dog. Besides the numerous physical injuries my nephew suffered, the bike has been appraised as a total loss, due to the availability and price of replacement parts. As most of the damage is cosmetic, my nephew wishes to keep the bike. However, the not so great insurance company wants to value the bike at $4817, which is average retail. It should have been rated at high retail, due to the pre wreck condition. In addition, the insurance company wants to deduct 30% in order for nephew to keep.
The bike had 11,000 miles at wreck. The acceptable milage on this bike is 21,000.
He already has an attorney for the personal injury, but appears willing to sell out my nephew on the property damage.
