Some guy in a Volvo wasn't paying attention and rear ended me about 25 MPH. It sucks because I have to wait 3 weeks for repairs and now I'm driving a Pontiac Grand Prix. The bill came to $8100 for the repairs!!

Ohhhhhhhhhhhh man that fucking sucks!!! Sorry about that man, shit, aint nothing you can do when you get hit. For 25mph it looks pretty bad, wow. I dont even want to think how pist I would be if that shit happened to my car. Hope they do a good job fixing it up. 8100 is lots of dough, hope you get your deductible back.

Have you ever noticed that anyone driving slower than you is an idiot and anyone driving faster than you is crazy?

 

Thanks. I think I actually have back injuries. My back was really hurting the day after. I've been going to the chiropractor for the last 2 weeks. We will see what happens. It pisses me off because of all the hassle leaving work, doctor's appts, etc. . . His insurance company is covering everything at least. It hurts more driving the Pontiac though. I miss my CL . ..

I'm so, so so so so sorry that you have to drive a Pontiac.


Also about the damage to your car, and possibly your back. Let's hope that things work out, and you're out of that Pontiac SOON!

I love some of you guys.

 

Sorry guys, don't flame me for this one.... But I've always thought Volvo Drivers were among the worst on the road. The Volvo's are good cars with sometimes inept people behing the whell.

Volvo's must be built like tanks. All I could see on his car was a busted headlight and paint from my car on his bumper. . .

Tanks... gives me a weird feeling... One of these days instead of SUV's the roads will be ruled by Army surplus vehicles... HUMVEE's, Bradleys and Abrahms... man I can just see it now... Damn, need to get back to work!

Sorry to hear about your accident. Something you should be aware of, which the insurance adjuster will never tell you, is that you're entitled to make a claim for "diminished value". Even though you car will most likely be returned to close to it's condition before the accident after the repairs, your car will be worth significantly less. Try selling a car that has been in a serious accident like yours and you'll find that no one wants it or if they are willing it is worth less.Therefore, you have sustained a monatary loss in addition to the damage to your car.

The insurance company for the owner of the car that hit you should pay you the diminished value of your car. The dimished value can sometimes be difficult to determine, but there are specialist who will inspect your car and give you their expert opinion as to what the car's loss in value is. As a general rule, the newer the car and the more damage sustained, the more the diminished value.

Insurance companies don't pay this willing, but you are entitled to it. It just depends on how much effort you want to expend in getting what you are owed. You may wish you had done this if you try to sell the car in a couple of years and the first question usually asked is has it been in a accident.

Here is a link to a site that deals with diminished value. It will give you a general idea of what I am talking about. Do an Internet search and you will likely come up with a company in your area that will do appraisals and possibly help you with your claim.

Thanks Fl-TypeS! My attorney told me the same thing and I will be pursuing them for this. I didn't even want to get an attorney involved but the other insurance company wouldn't return my calls about a rental and I just got fed up. Thanks again for the info.

Ouch sorry about your car man but shit happens when you at least expect it. Well good luck when u get your car back.

 

Speed Racer......glad you are almost OK 'cuz back injury and not driving your CL sucks. Be glad they didn't put you in an AZTEK! As far as lawyers go, have yours lean on these guys..... the driver in the Volvo is at fault period, and his insurance company knows it....

Sorry to hear that about your car and yuor back, along with what you lawyer said go for medical expenses and pain-reinburstment if your back really hurts. People that don;t pay attention to the front of where their car goes deserves to get wiped for all they have(sorry this has happened to some people i know and they get the bad end of the deal) Accidents happen but getting someones elses front on your rear should not happen. You are all right about the volvos, they make those things for safety, stupid volvo makers. Once again sorry to hear about that.
