Just got into an accident. How much is this gonna cost me?
 

It happened on the eastbound Queensboro Bridge (upper roadway) stupid MTA Express Bus crushed my side mirror.

It happened HERE
Left part of fork...we were both turning but the bus turned wider than usual and took my mirror off.

How much is this gonna cost me? The wiring wasn't damaged (mirror still works but is severely cracked) however, the LED turn signal doesn't light up. The top part of the assembly was taken off. Was the LED light part of that?

I didn't really have any body damage with the exception of this:

I was very lucky the bus didn't scratch the entire side panel.
So what do guys think?

Well, looks like you have to buy a new side mirror.

Looks like most of the scrapes can be buffed out, but some areas look pretty bad.

Yeah, that gash is pretty deep.

I figure I'll just buff out the little scratches and cover the deep gash with touch up paint. It's only the front bumper so I don't have to worry about rust.

EDIT: Thanks for the link.

So why isn't the MTA buying you a new mirror? They came into your lane correct?

^ +1. i agree if he drove into your lane during the turn.

:agree:

OP - Did you get a police report or did you just leave the scene? It seems like everything should be less than $300-400 but it should not come out of your pocket.

I agree...If it isn't your fault, you shouldn't be out any money:whyme:
