Write it off — or fix it? Those are the choices at the centre of a battle between one vehicle owner and his insurer, Allstate.
Mehmed Hujic lives in the small hamlet of Conrich, Alta. On Nov. 16, 2023, he was driving home when a deer ran out in front of his vehicle. The right, front end of his vehicle suffered the brunt of the collision.
But Hujic pointed out the vehicle was still drivable and, he expected, “fixable.” He was shocked when the insurance adjuster told him it wasn’t.
“They want to write off my vehicle, I don’t want to do that,” he said. “It’s still drivable. Transmission, engine good. It’s just damage from deer.”
Hujic said he was offered an insurance payout of under $5,000, which he said substantially undervalues his vehicle.
