Yes I have to pay a $250 deductable. I can live with that as long as I don't have to pay thousands of dollars to fix. The most important thing to me is that the fix is done right and with the right parts 
Bad news: His deductible is $250.
Good news: He does not need to worry about the detuctable. No provision for this in his case.

Did you happen to get any identification of the truck from where the metal came from?
If yes, I would track them down and suggest that they pay for the repair because clearly they did not secure the load they were hauling.
Good luck.

I would never turn something like this in to my carrier. I'd wait for something catastrophic (with my $2500 deductible).

Nice!
And if this nice young lady suffered "injury" due to your "lose load," she would want you to pay, no?

A lady once accused me of failing to secure my load.

Looks like a new front bumper cover to me. I'd go for the MTECH if your replacing it anyway.

Car insurance is best used when there is a big time loss only.
