Who covers the B93 Bash stranded cars?

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. (WOOD) - Pam Claxton's 21-year-old son drove a Toyota Celica to the B93 Birthday Bash Saturday. He arrived early to get a good space.

It's still there, and will stay there until at least Wednesday. That Celica, and more than 1,000 other vehicles, are stranded at the Ionia County fairgrounds after flooding forced the evacuation of the concert-goers.

Claxton's son, like the other early arrivers, paid $15 to park, and if they parked elsewhere, had to pay $10 to get through the gate.

But now that the car is still there, the big question everyone wants to know is who's going to pay for the damage to their cars.

In most cases, comprehensive auto insurance -- the insurance that covers theft, Acts of God, most things outside of a collision that happens to your car usually while it's standing still -- will cover it.

The problem is not everyone has it or if they do have it, there's a deductible. And even if all damages are paid, with this economy, a number of people may not be able to replace their car.

Tim Feagan, the Vice President of Clear Channel Grand Rapids, said each case will be different, and each insurance carrier will make the determination of damages on claims.
