Unless I am mistaken, the "MD" on the license plate of the yacht indicates that this guy is a doctor....$$$$$$$
Better sit down and rest that serious neck and back injury you sustained....

you guys can argue from here to tomorrow, the bottom line is insurance companies do not like to pay claims, so they will sue each other.
you should make the md's ins carrier pay for the rental, do NOT go thru your own insurance.

Man that hurts. I would guess 7-10k damage.
Insurance - I think what companies can do differs by state. I have two friends who's cars got the accordion treatment. Neither of them paid a cent. One got a big settlement.
Jim, driving that hick chariot is making you dumber than before. Just because you got shafted does not guarantee others will have the same results.

glad to hear you are okay . Sorry bout the CL , but it aint that bad. Very similar thing happened to my wife in her maxima. Two girls on their way to spring break rear ended the crap out of her. She was slowing down since traffic was slowing and since the girls werent looking at the road they hit her and pushed her into another car infront of her. The girls insurance company paid for the damages for both cars like they should since if they didnt push her , she wouldnt have hit the car. They cant hold you liable for something you dont do .

I've had the same thing happen to me two times . Both accidents were hit and run, where the vehicles that hit me left the scene. I wasn't responsible for the cars my vehicle was pushed into,as I was at a complete stop when I was hit.

this type of accident happened to me in november, except the guy was driving away from the cops. haha
anyways, it won't raise your premiums at all, obviously it isn't your fault. insurance covered it without a question.
if anything you get new parts

Ther's no way that the old man's wife can afford to give you the money to fix your car. A while back I had a saturn and my car had less damage and the itt cost $5300 to fix (2,000 for airbags). But it wasn't my fault.
However if they have to do an investigation, you have to pay the deductible, and the insurance company will pay you back later, when they feel like it. It took them about 4 months to get me the money, and I hit someone making an illegal u-turn, who was clearly at fault.

i just got back the preliminary estimate and it is for $4700
I thought it would be alot more
it looks they are going to be able to reuse the headlights and they need to pull and align the front unibody.

The car that caused the accident was responsible.

Yup.. Saaaame thing happened to me driving up 295, near the Delaware memorial bridge.. about 2 HOURS AFTER I GOT MY CAR! Traffic at the tolls stopped suddenly so I hit the brakes... True I barely stopped in time, but i avoided hitting the car in front of me.. "Whew" i said.. then WHACK I got hit from behind by an Outback. Turns out an old man in an old Taurus hit the woman in the Outback from behind. The woman was not at fault- my insurance company only dealt with the old man in the back.
