No expert, but from personal experience in a very similar accident, the other driver will be deemed 100% at fault unless it is determined that you were speeding, which is pretty unlikely.

 

Dang, I'd cry :cry:

 

Sorry to see it, glad you're ok.

You should be all right. Had a similar experience. Guy ran a red light, I t-boned him in the intersection. Since he ran the light he was at fault even though I was the one who hit him.

Tore the front bumper off my car, bent the bumper supports 45 degrees to the right. Air bag depoyment. Body shop replaced front structural part of car, radiator, headlights, etc. Also entire air bag system and seatbelts. Car looked great. However there was an apparent grounding problem causing several ignition coils to go bad every week or so. Since nobody could fix this problem (body shop or dealer) over the course of 2 months his insurance and the body shop bought the car from me since both guarantee the work. His insurance also paid for 3 months of rental car and various medical expenses.

 

Nothing for you to worry about, my wife is claims adjuster for an insurance company. If you are in your lane and someone enters that lane of travel, then you are obligated to avoid the accident safely. If you didn't feel that changing the lane of travel would have been safer then you did the right thing. I wouldn;t admit any speeding just that you were doing the speed limit. Also tell the insurance that you didn't have time to brake and come to a stop to avoid this collision. Tell them you did everything you could to avoid this collision without adding any more danger to this incident.

 

thanks for all the support in here fellas i was definitetly trying to brake as the road will confirm to that but it was way to late the repair so far on what my body shop said is already around 15,000-20,000 probably gonna get a new car but no worries i wil still get a g35 i love this car even though i only had it for 1 week

 

I don't think liability will be the issue here. I am guessing more or less the sizable amount of repairs that will be required. From what I see it seems like liability is clear. Speed won't be a factor here, unless you were doing double the posted. The vehicle code supports your innocence.
Good luck.

 

i've had a similar experience also. some girl pulled out in front of me from a driveway and i t-boned her. the insurance company asked how fast i was going and i said 50 and later found out that the speed limit on that street was 45mph. so the insurance company says that since i was a little over the speed limit it was partially my fault. so instead of getting the full amount of the insurance $, they gave me partial.

 

really so did you get something in writing that you get guarantee work was it a lifetime or gave you few years can you give me more details the only thing i'm worried about is the airbag and i hear how there are airbag scam going around in the U.S and will my car run the same as it was again so if i have any problems with my radiator which in this case was all busted they would fixed it again?

what is the ignition coils?

 

nalspeed,

Since the body shop I used was on his insurance company's "approved" list, the insurance company guaranteed the body shop's work. The body shop also guaranteed their own work. The paperwork from the body shop and from the insurance company state this. It was good for as long as I owned the car. My radiator was cracked so they replaced it with a new one. As long as they replace yours it shouldn't be a problem.

Don't know what to say about the air bag other than use a reputable body shop and trust that they did what they're supposed to do.

Igniton coils are what provides the high voltage electricity to the spark plug to ignite the air/fuel mixture in the cylinders. Each cylinder has two. The car would run for about a week, then it would start to lose power and run rough. The check engine light would come on. When the coils go out, that cylinder doesn't fire. When you lose several at a time like I did the car hardly runs at all. Not fun when you're on the highway in rush hour traffic.

 

wow thanks for the reply so did you get a new car did you feel after the accident your car was not the same anymore do they fix like alignment or any scratches for the rims men this is such a stressful week i guess it wil take 4-5 weeks to repair in the meantime i'm driving a nissan se which is not comparable to the g35 thanks for the reply

 

if you were going str8 and he was backing up dont care how fast you was going you have right of way idiot should of looked back. so your str8 that guy should be shot for doing that to your car. we got ur back lol

 

 

thanks for all the support here fellas even only after 1 week owning the car i fell in love with it i feel like a part of me is missing now P. Now i gotta wait for about 4-6 weeks for repairs men i missed that car already oh well in meantine i'm going to be driving this rental nissan car which is no closer to a g35 P is there anything i should look into or investigate once my car is fixed or being repaired any advice what to tell the bodyshop ?

 

oh yeh they already admit that it is their fault unfortunately they can only cover 10k when my cost is around 16k for repairs

 

There are services body shops can use; they will come out and do diagnostic tests connected to the system to determine if it is working or not. I found this out when my Frontier was wrecked a second time and the bags did not deploy; the service was called in, they tested and found the previous body shop didn't change a bad piece of harness and disabled the system as to not light the bulb in my dash... The truck was properly fixed tested and passed afterwords.
