Car totaled
My car was totaled friday night when I went to make a left turn and was hit on the passenger side by an SUV. The cops said I was at fault becuase I was making a left turn and the other vehicle was going straight. My insurance company Geico is telling me the value of my car based on similar cars is $24000 which includes taxes (mine had was a 52K miles, stillen exhaust). Does this sound about right? and if not what can/should I do about it?

Yea, I'm looking around and see some nice ones on Autotrader with less miles selling for around 21K so lets see what happens. Good thing is I had purchased an extended warranty for the car through my credit Union and I'll be getting back around $1700 from that so that's almost $26K and I picked the car up for $18K about six months ago

No, no passenger and no I didn't make it on purpose. The accident happend around 10pm and the lady was driving with only a learners permit and several kids in the car (no car seats), I'm not sure if there was a licensed driver with her at the time but I was told she should not have been driving at night anyway. What sucks is that the cop told me that it doesn't matter if she didn't have a license, she could have been drunk out of her head and it still would have been my fault cause I turned and she was going straight. We both had the green light but since she was going straight I got one ticket and she was issued 3 for the kids, permit and something else (maybe no licensed driver or driving at night)

Best thing is going to a lawyer. He'll take care of everything, just tell him whatever happened. Happened to me (at fault), went to a lawyer and got him do everything for me, I didn't have to pay a dime. If win, he makes money and if not probably you'll get off those tickets or so and ofcourse your drive step still go up (if loose).
