One problem I could think right off the top of my head is this: What happens when someone doesn't fix the car up to snuff and that causes an even bigger accident and damage later? Who's responsible for that damage now? Also, if someone got the cash for a brand new door and they decided to keep the cash and only bang the old door with a hammer to straighten it out, when that door gets hit again, what's the damage and who pays for it (Cash for another new door, perhaps?). It's easy to see where this would lead.
And, yes, whether the entity I'm dealing with is a person or a corporation, rich or poor, profitable or not, shouldn't matter one bit. We are lucky to live in a society of laws and rules where those things don't and shouldn't enter the decision process.

Yes i agree with you on that. But in my case we are talking about a bumper replacment, not major structural damage or something that nearly totaled the car.
