got into an accident with 06 civic

[bionictony]

so the 06 civic was in the 1 or 2 lane and went out of control because she was trying to switch lanes when another car from the lane over was trying to switch into the same lane also. she went back to her lane and started to lose control and started to fishtail. she hit the center divider and came all the way to my lane which was lane 5, hit the edge and stopped there. i had about less than a second to react.. i think i hit the car at 10-20mph? her car was sideways and i hit her on the rear passenger quarter panel. its not my fault right? i dont think it was

i got out of my car and she was on the phone crying talking to someone.. the police came and 2 witnesses came also and gave the police their info. i asked the police if i could have it and he said no it will be in the police report. she finally got out of the car and was still hysterically crying. the highway patrol came and took reports, then i asked if i could exchange info with the other driver. the officer said it's in the report, he gave me a card with info on it to give to my insurance. and he said my insurance will get it from the report. the officer was being a d$%k i think. my car could drive and wasn't leaking anything, i pushed my coolant box back in the socket and turned the car back on. now the throttle stick and revs to about 2000rpm, i have to use my foot to pull the pedal up for it to go to normal. so i basically drove home. i had to pull out the bumper so it wouldn't scrap the wheel though. i'll have pictures up later.

is it possible to get it fixed by their insurance or is the value of my car too little? if thats the case, how much are they going to pay out? my car is salvage title also. I'll need basically a new front end, hood, fenders, bumper, lights.

Damn that sucks. It sucks because your car is fucked and you can't really do anything about it except bite the bullet and try to fix it yourself. Maybe you can get the police report and if you really had time and money to invest, you can get a lawyer and sue that bitch for "reckless endangerment" or something that sounds damaging. Even if you lose the case, that woman will always have a file for being sued for reckless endangerment which serves her right for fucking up your pride and joy.

[bionictony]

fix it myself? it was her fault though

[FrodoGT]

Man, I wouldn't be too worried about you hitting her..that pic of her front end looks NASTY! But that really sucks dude! The only thing Im afraid of in my car is totaling it, Id be devastated...over 5k in parts and equipment, all to be summed up with a....sorry, heres a check for 1500.

That's what I meant by fixing it yourself, dude. If they total your car (which they'll probably do), then you can buy it back and fix it, but you know the estimate of repair will be more than what they offer. You have a nice ride, perhaps you can work some magic and get it right again. Her car on the other car is toast...

[bionictony]

if they total my car i have to buy it from them? but its in my possession now. i drove it home. why would i buy back my car? sorry i don't really understand becaus i've never been in an accident.

[civic_boy91]

if the frame is not bent they prob. wont total it...but if the total cost is more than they think its worth they will...
eather way keep the car...it dosnt look that bad...
maybe a hood, fender, radiator support... maybe a bumper support and if your picky a bumper.

[C8H18Blood]

A. That sucks bad
B. I wish people would learn to drive more aware/confident (cuz this happens)
C. Yeah most cops I've encountered have been dicks (6/8) or like domestic-car fanboys..
D. turtlecrxsi: "Even if you lose the case, that woman will always have a file for being sued for reckless endangerment which serves her right for fucking up your pride and joy." HELL YEAH MAN
E. Hope it works out, I cant really help u with the legal cause i never crashed either.

[Jetts]

ok even tho its your car at the moment, if the insurance company total's it.
they are buying it from you.
so it would become their car...


get it?

[duffman868]

unfortunetly they are probably going to total it. a hatch with a salvage title blue books for about 800 and that looks like more than $800 worth of damage i got 600 just for a fender and corner light. but they might give you enough for the car and pain and suffering to get the car back and get a sir front end

[Hybrid1990crx]

yeah they are definetly going to total your car for sure. you'll get bluebook for it. you can then buy it back like everyone else said. The first think I would do is look under the hood for any obvious crinkles in the unibody.

anyways...

BionicTony, are you from PA? Those road signs look like pa signs. if you are what part?

3-4 yrs ago i got in an accident i hit a bmw and was rearended total cost of the job to fix was $4000+ they didnt total out my car though it looked pretty totaled. man she looked brand freakin new for aweek, and i wasnt even home for that week, first day home runnin some erands and bamb old couple slams and bounces off a minivan flew in the air 5 feet and head on colided with a brand new 1,000,000 optimum online truck, i hit the opt trucks trailor hitch and the way my car looked after that was the way i bought it. guess she just liked to look that way. i see about 1500-2000 worth of damage but thats at NY hookup price.

you dumb queer!! cant u see cali plates on his car lol love u bro

[maxassassin]

now see heres the thing althought this really does suck you should maybe think about getitng it into a tech center. kids cna leanr on it teacher can help them and well best of all tis cheaper and they will do basicly anything reguardless of if its "totaled" or not. something like that is really a "quick fix" new fenders, bumper and probably the hood. a few moutns from a parts civic and paint nad shes good to go. and from the looks of thigns im guessing your frame isnt squashed.

[bionictony]

the frame is pushed in a bit. where could i find tech centers?
