Oh man!!! That truly sucks!!! Hope she didn't lock up on u! Insurance will probably total that, but if the motor isn't locked up it might be worth buying it back for a strictly trail rig.

If you do claim it,you better have your story straight . Wheeling in a construction site won't cut it. You need to have a very good reason why your truck is where it is. Be careful where you post pics,Facebook ect. My brother is a lawyer specializing in fraudulent claims. They have seen and herd it all.

I got it out, a 4 wheeler pulled the front out, then a f350 got the rest out, it's being towed to a guys shop and he'll tell me if its totaled. But insurance will screw us if we tell them. So we aren't sure what to do.

Sorry to see that. Hopefully you can come up with a plausible story and they total it. Then buy back and gut it and make a pure trail rig

Its a hole at a construction site and they dug it out i've hit it many times and it was nothing so this time i assumed it would be the same.

I need all the help I can get from this forum or I won't be back on here. I'll be on the 1992 Honda civic forum

that's not fraud, did you work on the construction site? (were you trespassing?) funny that the hole wasn't a problem before - you can post no trespassing, but you cannot lay hidden traps - what you said sounds like someone laid a trap... which means the insurance company (if they pay) or you (if they don't) could go after the property owner for damages.

here's the case that defined that:

people were breaking into a guy's house on some remote property - so he set up a trip-wire shot gun... which did its intended job. Court found that to be unreasonable because the home owner was in no fear for his life, therefore there cannot be deadly force. Concealing a trap is exactly the same thing, and is pretty much black letter law now - no traps, you owe a duty to everyone to not make something deadly more deadly and not to conceal... if you do, then you, the property owner, gets to pay damages.... and depending on the state exemplary damages are possible.

Really, talk to a lawyer - oh wait, you are when you talk to me... talk to an Alabama lawyer.

That's BS man, I mean yes everything you said is right but after having someone come into your site just to hit hole and tare up the area I would do the same. That being said I'm a very evil person. I had $8,XXX of damage (all new fluids, fan and clutch, rug, bcm, tcm, fuse box, and more things I can't think of) when I hit the wrong hole, good luck man but you are ****ed.

There is no, no trespassing sign there has never been one, just a construction site and the worst thing i did was leave some tire marks, no damage to anything.
