When swerving for a deer almost costs you your life... Major accident recovery

[@laciekay9965]

Hey, that’s my car!! 😂 I’m sorry you had to go through so much trouble but thank you for everything. Was definitely a crazy experience!

[@mph6502]

Just curious, what kind of car was it?

[@michelekuhne9179]

I’m glad you are okay after that ordeal!

[@davidkizer9915]

@@mph6502 judging by the rear door corner and the rims it looks like a Chevy Trax

[@desireegoulett69]

I'm so glad you're ok and I have the opportunity to be happy about being able to reply to you. Casey is a great guy who really helps a lot of people and I highly recommend and hope you continue to watch his regular posts because you can simply enjoy them then and appreciate the genuine nature of his character as we avid viewers all do. It's like "Nice" therapy in a society where that seems to be a rare commodity these days.

Hey congrats on walking away

[@barneygirl9643]

Her guardian angel was with her!😳 Great job Casey👍😎 Keep up the great videos and stay safe out there!❤️🙏

[@eastunder55]

I would like to hear the conversation you had with the insurance guy when you called him after speaking to the car owner.

[@judithfairchild8620]

And after actually seeing the car.

[@ngnmech]

I suspect the information that the insurance agent gave Casey was accurate for the for what he knew at the time. He probably assumed that it had dents and other issues, but probably didn't know that is had come off the road, rolled several times, struck a tree while 8 feet in the air and initiated the auto destruction sequence.

[@joycerose9595]

I’d like to hear what the insurance guy said, also. Maybe he was too busy to call you back. I hope your tow bill was HIGH.

[@kd5nrh]

Nah; just drop it at a body shop and tell them to fix it and work out the bill with the insurance company.

[@toddk1377]

I would've liked to see the insurance agents face once they initially saw the car! Oh what a deer can do!

Yes...

[@CrocodilePictures99]

My compliments! You are really a professional in this business… There seems to be no situation that you can’t handle! Great respect! And it is always the same with insurance companies-independent on which side you are (client or partner). Glad nothing happened to you! Thank you for the nice video! Cheers!

WOW!! Hard to believe someone could have survived that, much less been able to walk away! Thanks for the video, very glad she did not get hurt!

[@Ladyorion79]

That’s one ROUGH parking lot there. I’m amazed and glad to hear the lady made it out of that alive.

[@davidrim8309]

You’re too nice of a guy. You called “someone” jackasses for running over your cones. You know it was the other tow truck but then you proceeded to say nice things about them and thank them for helping. I don’t know if I could be so gracious.

[@SantaFe-wi1ve]

I just found your channel, I subbed, and I am enjoying the content. Thanks for sharing!

[@fayhansen745]

I am glad she was able to walk away and not seriously hurt But I would have a talk with the insurance company about lying. ❤😎

[@Slazlo-Brovnik]

Well, I don*t know if he was really lying (in the means of deeing deliberately the untruthful). I am more guessing: The message went through several stages and departments and was changed a bit on every step. So e.g. "Came off the road while trying to avoid a deer, crashed my car" become to "somehing with a deer and a crash " and then "hit a deer".

[@ocean_hummer]

I learned to drive in mountainous terrain. It was drilled into me to never ever swerve for deer or other animals because the risk of driving off a cliff was too great. Glad the gal survived!

[@jamesmartin7282]

Thanks for the thorough cleanup! And shame on the insurance company rep... I hope you charged them a fortune.

[@terryroths4254]

Blessings that she is alive. And I am a believer now of those dolly lifts.

[@jasonkitching8643]

Glad the lady is ok mate

[@toddk1377]

I've hit numerous deer. Probably more than any I have shot in over 20 years of hunting. I won't swerve to miss them, if anything, I try to center the hit if possible. I've always driven a truck or a jeep and usually had a bull bar or brush guard. An impact on one side will definitely have significantly more damage than a centered hit. All but one time, I have always been able to load the deer up and throw it in the freezer. The one was hit at 50 mph with my deuce and it happened to quick to even think about it, she went under the tires and was basically mutilated. She didn't even scratch the paint on the bumper. Having big trucks made of steel has it's merits.

[@philipvanveen3282]

Enjoying your videos, thanks

[@gayle4804]

You are awesome the the insurance agent that you talked to needs fired

[@aliceevans3357]

That WAS a Chevrolet Trax. Two take aways from this. 1- there is a GOD. 2- Insurance companies lie. Glad it all ended well. Thanks for taking us along. Stay safe and GOD bless

Flawless unloading technique.

[@kathyl5610]

I am really late seeing this video, don’t know how I missed one of your videos. I hope you got paid really well for this job. The insurance agent need to be more aware of the facts. If the owner had pictures, the insurance company should have known how bad it was. Glad everything worked out safely for everyone. Take care Casey and stay safe.

[@lonhoschar1943]

Once again.. Good job!! Yup, that lady was extremely lucky!!!!

[@David_Quinn_Photography]

Insurance lying should be just as much a crime as insurance fraud.

[@CaseyLaDelle]

I agree, and if you saw the absolute scam BS that insurance companies pull on tow companies every single day it’s amazing that people aren’t going to prison over it. They 100% commit felony level fraud on a daily basis.

[@chujwdupejutube]

I think you should call that insurance company, and ask what body shop you have to bring it in and then put it there. Then maybe both you and body shop can bring some sense into those guys.

[@milt7348]

Hope you re negotiated you rate with the insurance company. Stay safe.

[@CaseyLaDelle]

Of course. They don’t get the vehicle back until they pay

[@RowanHawkins]

That's why the car went to Casey's place and not the body shop that they requested. If they don't pay the tow company for the inaccurate dispatch then a mechanics lien goes against the title and they can't get it off their books.

[@johnmulgannon]

I really hope you double billed the insurance company.

That's why, when I called my "auto club" to send out a tow truck to change a flat tire on the side of the freeway (good weather, clear sight lines, but still on the traffic side), I tipped the driver enough to take his wife or girlfriend out to dinner. It can be a sucky job, made suckier by clubs & insurance that screw you over.

You mentioned the insurance guy had pictures, can we see them? Curious how it went from hit a deer to total burn job…!
