If she hit you it doesnt matter that you have liability insurance. She has to pay for this, or her insurance. The only prob would be if she wasnt insured, and if that is the case take her to court.

wow, that sucks man!

young and femail, what a combination...

[MitsuPride3KGT]

yea but it was in a parking lot

[MitsuPride3KGT]

50/50

would any year passenger side fender fit my 1992 3000GT SL... it wouldnt matter if it was a vr4 or not would it?

who cares if it was in a parking lot. her insurance company (and yours) can investigate and still make her insurance company pay...

[talskinyguy]

If its in a parking lot that only means the cops cant give you a ticket because its private property. She still damaged your car and is resposible for the damamge. That is, unless your only telling part of the story and are part to blame for the accident.

Damn bro, I am sooooo sorry to hear about that. How the f*ck did she run into you in a parking lot? Damn, personally, I don't know what I'd do. If it was a guy, it'll be easy....either pay up or beat the crap outta him and then take the money. LOL But since it's a girl, that's a hard one....maybe tell your sister or your gf to go beat the crap out of her if she doesn't have insurance. But seriously though, if all else fails, take her to court and get your car fixed. Hopefully, everything'll work out....



On a side note, how come it's always the case that when you stop paying for insurance or if you change it to liability, the moment you do something like that an accident occurs? Is it like some stupid curse from the insurance companies? Gateway, what do you guys be doing over there??? LOL

Really? So even though legally there is 50/50 fault in the accident, you can still prove that one side has more fault than the other? I know you're the insurance guy so how's that work?

It's called murphys law . And I believe you should get your money one way or another, try to guilt her parents into paying for it if you find out that her insurance won't pay up, if that fails threaten court and then take them for all they're worth!

I think if she is the one who hit you she's at fault, and unless you can drive sidways, how would her front (or rear) bumper come in contact with your car as you drove along?

[Technical_Automan]

Yeah, but the way the law looks at it, none of that matters, no one has right of way in a parking lot, it's always 50/50 because the lines/signs on the parking lot mean nothing legally. I don't know about other states but in NY they took away the right of way law for any situation, you could run a stop sign at a 4-way stop when someone else was sitting there first and it would be 70% their fault if you hit them! Because supposedly the car in motion should be yielded to, but in my opinion, why even have traffic devices or signs with that kind of rule. But I do like to take advantage of the law and run straight through the 20 stop signs that surround the mall near here, especially when there's a cop or security sitting right there. As long as there are no pedestrians or cars in my way, they can't pull me over for sh*T.

Its true that the signs and lines mean nothing in parking lots, which is why I dont follow them, but I do stop for people.

However, there can be fault in an accident. If you are going strait and a car hits you in the side, or backs into you, it is their fault.
