If you have a low deductible and haven't filed a claim in a while it may be worth it to file.
I let my 4 year old drive my ranger with me sitting next to him

Also really frustrating that just yesterday she laid a guilt trip on her mother and me about wanted to drive by herself. I told her no way, just too dangerous, then this happens.
This is a good teaching moment. Give her a big hug tell her you love her snd explain that this is why she isn't quite ready to drive it by herself. Then back it up by spending some quality time with her this evening, to show her your not mad. Because honestly you have no right to be.

What in the hell are you thinking?
I can't stand her doing it. Never have, but it happened today, can't change it.
You sound like someone that doesn't have children. The OT has blurred your thinking to believe that questions have black and white answers. They don't. Come back when you can vote.

Thanks for the advice. Sounds like a plan. People laugh at others posting actually life on here, but it's a great way to clear your thought.

I have children and I'd say the same thing.

Now get off of here and go hang with your lil girl.

I guess I've just always been scared of my rates flying up, that I hadn't even considered filing this. I've got a low deductible, so I'll weigh my options after I get a quote.

Exactly. Man it's hard to set boundaries with kids these days when I think back on the stuff that I was doing at the same ages.

I like the idea but you still need to teach her how to drive and safety. Not scare her to never drive again. Ride with her and teach as long as she's not being reckless. I was driving an old Chevy pickup around the yard and field when I was 10. I'm sure there are plenty of others who were driving vehicles as well. Teaching safety is the key.

It was an accident, I am like you I was driving a tractor when I was her age with the potential of doing a lot more damage. She is nine and she will learn from this experience. Now you can either let it go or take her allowance for the next two years.

Nine year olds should not be driving.
Can her feet reach the pedals?

Tailgate should run you about 800-1k plus painting. Will come the lights unless you get a new shell from the dealer.
I don't think that's repairable.
Use it as a teaching tool. That is the e xact reason you don't let her drive it by herself. More than likely she's scared or worried about how you'll come down on her. Just let it pass, she taugh herself the lesson on this one. You could give her extra chores to "help repay back the damages" some people have their daughters cut the grass, you could start there.

Also, if you plan on restricting her driving for a while until you feel she'd be better able to handle it, make sure your parents know and respect your wishes so they don't (once again) let her drive theirs. They also need to understand how dangerous a situation this could have been, and how concerned you are that it could have been much worse.

Yeah this is your fault...she deserves no punishment.
Prepare for a visit from CPS though.
Whatever rob says and then the opposite.

a 2k claim shouldn't affect your rates unless you've had other claims recently, talk to your agent and see what he thinks

For some reason she backs the polaris up behind my wife's car, and obviously leaves it in reverse.
I would feel bad for her, honestly. It's a shitty situation, because you have a damaged vehicle and an expensive repair, but consider your daughter's frame of mind. Without being told, it probably didn't even occur to her that it was going to go backwards, so she was certainly not experienced/mentally equipped to react to it.
I know you might be more reluctant to let her drive it at all, and she'll probably be averse to it because of the guilt, but it might help both of you get past this if you actually take her to a secluded stretch of road/path and start teaching her some basic safety and how to operate it (rather than telling her how) in a more controlled environment.
