Sorry to hear about this. Good thing you and your friend is able to walk away from this accident. I hope things can get back to normal as quick as it can. You should at least get consultations from lawyers to see the legal aspect of this problem. Search the board and see what others have done. GOOD LUCK!

seeing those accidents where someone isnt paying attention pisses me off..

I'm glad to hear you and your passenger are okay. I hope the lady that hit you is also okay. Geico is a great insurance company and should handle everything for you. You might ask them when the adjustor will be looking at the car and meet with him there, I did that when my husband rolled our jeep off a cliff last year and totalled it. It helps to let him know about the extra things the car has on it when he's doing an estimate. You might ask about a rental car in the meantime, the other parties insurance should pay for it even if she doesn't have rental insurance it's part of the claim for your inconvenience. Worse case is you may have to pay and be reimbursed for it. Also be sure to document EVERYTHING while you have fresh memories, and keep receipts for everything from asprin to ice packs. Sorry about the car, but grateful your okay.

Make sure you look into a diminished value claim. It works for cars being totaled as well as damaged. I just got into a wreck as well but mine won't be totaled. This is one site I found www.appraisalgroupofamerica.com . I can't say if they are worth it or not, mine is still getting fixed so I have to wait until they are finished to get a final estimate. Most insurance companies will give you a low ball amount, this company claims to be able to get you back more money, for a fee of course. I didn't know anything about this until I posted my pics up on this site and another member told me about diminished value.
