Front end Collision

This has not been a good week.First some ass dented up the left rear fender while I was in the store and left,then a couple of days ago I got my second speeding ticket,and now this shit.I was going to get a dvd player today at Target when a lady in a old ass Ford Contour ran a stop sign and I ran staight into here going about 40mph.Needless to say my whole front end is shot,the bumper fell off,the hood is bent in half,my windshield is cracked all on the passenger side,and the passenger door will barely open.I'm sitting here in a neck brace while I'm writing this up waiting on my muscle relaxers.This has just not been a good fuckin week.

New info

I just found out that the lady I hit is trying to say I was speeding.Not only that but all the witnesses are saying that too.I know the speed limit is 35 but I was only doing 40.So I will probably have to end up paying for an accident that wasn't even my fault.What a merry Christmas it is.

Doesn't matter.

If the Geritol Queen ran the stop sign, she is at fault. Fuck what the others say, let them work out their issues in court. An accident specialist should be able to tell roughly how fast you were going due to the amount of damage at the point of impact, skid marks, distance the cars travelled after the point of impact - hell, thats why you pay insurance, so fuckers like them don't get over and try to screw you.

Sorry to hear about you and HornyLeprechan, but things wil get better.

I forgot to mention that both of the airbags deployed.They cut through the dash and steering wheel.Can they be fixed?I only ask because I read in another post that when they deploy it fucks up your car.How so?

Sorry to hear about your bad luck!

My guess is that your car will be totalled (just a guess).

I hope you feel better soon!

BTW: dajuice27 is correct. Just because "witnesses" say you were speeding will not stand up in court. A collision expert will be able to provide info that WILL stand up in court. Good luck!

I went to the bodyshop today and they said that they were still looking for USED parts.Then I asked him if the car was totaled and he said that they were still trying to detrmine that.If they are still trying to detrmine whether it's totaled or not why are they looking for USED parts.

For what its worth...i'll vent too

Saturday night, I'm sitting at a red light with a gas station to my right.

I see no traffic coming for a bit so i had enough time to make the right turn and i start to take off...this hick in his pick up pulls out of the gas station without taking a second look...i beep...he slams his breaks thinking someone in front of him beeped at him(i still dont' get this) and i skid my cl under his big ass dodge ram.

He has the nerves to get out and ask me why i was tailgating him...at the time i was heated, but now it just seems funny cause the dude had no clue what he was talking about.

Lucky for me, when we finally stopped jawin at each other and i told him to go get his information, some other guy quietly walks up me, says "yo, the other guy is being a real jerk and i dont' wanna deal with him, but heres my number, i saw everything...gimme a call"

As heated as i was since i'm a broke ass college student, this is my first accident and i put all my money into buying the car, I realize how lucky i am that the witness came through for me cause i know in the end its gonna be my word against the other guys debating who was on the road first(even though it was clearly me cause it took time for me to make up the distance between the corner i turned from and the driveway he pulled out of), but then i can pull out my secret weapon.....the Witness.

Another lucky thing is that his truck was so high, there was no damage to the bumper...instead, my grill is smashed and my hood is pushed in about 2 inches...and scrunched up about 3 inches but I dont' think there is any damage under the hood or any mis-alignment of the panels.

Anyway...Just hope insurance pulls through and gives this jerk majority of the blame if not all.

Peese.
