↑ Ha. yeah she was in the house at the time, actually I didn’t even have a chance to take pics of the cars like I usually do. I have had my Del Sol fixed there before, did a good job and its close.
yea iv had two cars there before. one for just repair and another for paint
ouchh what was she driving?
A piece of shit cutlass or something like that
how bad is the truck?
I just watched dateline nbc or some show like that, and they had a whole story about the extremely high number of accidents caused just this year because a driver was texting.
And yes, most of the accidents involved teenage girls.
Glad you’re ok. Go to the hospital asap, as i’m sure that most people who have been in accidents will tell you that it hurts more the day after. Plus, The muscle relaxers should help pass the time while waiting on the insurance companies…
another + to me saying women should not be allowed on the road.
ouch hope everything turns out good
State troopers always write tickets for accidents. Their reasoning is that if there is an accident then someone did something wrong. Most local cops are lazy and just write the report and gtf out of there.
Here is some good avice with dealing with insurance companies from turbo-mopar.com
- Do your negotiations in writing. Create a paper trail. I don’t like to be sucked into over the phone negotiations with an insurance company. Why? For the simple fact that a phone conversation creates plausible deniability. It is way too easy for the insurance company to deny what they’ve said to you over the phone. I prefer to communicate in writing and via certified mail. In the event you go to court, this leaves a documented paper trail and you have confirmation that the insurance company has received your communication to them, a fact they can’t deny. It also shows you are serious about pursuing this issue.
- Document your vehicle and your claim. This is where your documentation gathered before the accident comes into play. Provide the production history on the vehicle, receipts for the work you’ve put into it, a copy of the professional appraisal, a copy of the agreed value policy you have on the vehicle, anything you can to substantiate the value of the vehicle.
- Be patient and don’t cave in to bully tactics. Remember that their first offer is going to be their worst offer. These companies prey on people needing money and needing to get their car back on the road. If you are into Turbo Mopars, hopefully like many of us you have more than one and aren’t reliant on the car for daily transportation. Insurance adjusters are under the gun to settle quickly, they want these claims off the books. In speaking with several Turbo Mopar owners who have been through this it seems that the insurance companies won’t budge on their offer for several months. I’ve heard from 4-6 months waiting before the insurance company will budge on their offer. It also depends which insurance company you’re dealing with. I’ve had four losses (none my fault) and the experiences I’ve had vary by company. Three out of the four instances were total loss cases, in two cases the company was eager to settle, in the third case the company seemed to care less. In my book they’re all difficult to deal with, but some are better than others.
- Be professional. Don’t make outrageous threats or demands. And keep your temper. I know this can be difficult to do, but you’ll get better results if your firm and not just a raving angry lunatic.
- If they’re trying to total the car and you’re going to fix the car, make that known. It seems like these days they’ll total our cars for a door ding. Perfectly fixable and in many cases still driveable cars are being totaled. Don’t settle for a salvage title. And try to negotiate out of the salvage value being deducted. Insist that the settlement money you are being provided will be to fix the car and that you are fixing the car.
- If the car can be fixed, do your research on who you want to fix it. Don’t take it to the closest place or cheapest place. Take it somewhere that you know does good work, that others have used and can attest to the quality of the work.
- Know where to file a complaint. Insurance companies are regulated by state. Each state should have an Insurance Administration who has oversight. Don’t hesitate to use them. The state of Maryland has an on-line complaint filing system.
ya roots is good, or take it over to basil ford on walden ive seen some very good work from there and thay have the frame machines
I thought you said a trailer? Silly dude Thats not a trailer
texting while making a turn?
please revoke her license for a few years.
Thanks.
I was out tonight blowing off a little steam and thinking about the whole situation, the retard that hit was turning into a crossing lane with a crossing guard sitting on the corner. She was 5 mins to early before school let out. She could have really done some damage.
My fucking back is killing me right now. My left leg is going numb, and I can feel a lump in my lower back. I’m not trying to be niggerish, but I am going for x rays in the morning. I was holding on the steering wheel yelling at her as I saw her hit me and it made me whiplash sideways on the bench seat, mt shoulder is fucking killing me as well.
I just want my shit fixed, I had that car sold already and now I am out the money I paid for it. I think everything will turn out OK but like I said my body is hurting. So what should I say to the doctor tomorrow and not sound like a money hungry bitch. I really don’t want to go and get checked out but I really think its in my best interest.
I don’t want to go there and say oh my neck is killing me, my back is so fucked I cant stand. I’m not like that, but I don’t want something coming up in the future where it could be related to this and I didn’t take care of it.
I think I will let the doctors decide when they look at the xrays. I truly am in some pain and think it will probably get worse in the morning. My left leg was going numb a hour ago.
Anyway, I just want my fucking money for the cars.
Anyone have any word on the salvage title problem?
i really need to get hit by someone safely cuz i want a new car
truck pics?
The trailer took it well…
doesnt sound you faired as well.
Go to mercy for xrays. Wait it out while going through insurance. You should get your money back for your car, They will prob total it tho. I say b/c she fucked you, you do the same. Most of the time with back injuries you can say it hurts and the doc’s dont know whats wrong. +1 in your favor
WTF are you scared of? If you’re legitimately in pain, especially with back swelling/numb leg, get your fucking ass to the doctor and bitch and moan until he finds what the hell is wrong. You’re not being “niggerish” as you called it for going to the doctor if something’s really wrong. 2 years down the road when shit hits the fan and you realize you really did get fucked up is going to be a bit too late to go back and say “HEY you hurt me”
that has herniated disc written all over it. welcome to the club. It will be with you forever now. shitty situation for sure. And, going to the hospital is not ni**erish at all. get it checked out.
Just think, if it was the other way around…you’d be paying for her P.T for the next 5 yrs. might as well
