As i left my friends house from SG to get on valley to get to the bank, I was going straight and this man with a 1997 maxima decided he will gun it and make it to the middle lane as he was making a left. I tried to slam on my brakes, didnt make it on time. This was on valley before Del Mar as my driver fender, headlight and bumper clipped his rear left. That man didnt even know how to speak english. WOW so we drove to a street, I called the cops and He got a translator we traded information and the cops came, I explained everything to the cop and he said regardless if im going 100,90 I got the right away, he needs to yield always. He was claiming i was going fast and there was a car in front of him. What a day. My heart broke in pieces seein my girl like that =(. I was so excited for the infamous meet too coming up this week. Looks like I wont make it. Sorry G members. Anyone experience this before?
I have a few questions.
-Since we have the same insurance, u think they will declare a 50/50 fault cuz I would be pissed, I need and want him to pay full damamges at all cost
- Is this a very clear cut case, it is 100% his fault?

Anyone of a driver side 06 headlights with/ w.o ballast and bumper and fender, PM me so I can see how much for parts. Thanks
Anyone with experiences, opinions and thoughts to make my weekend go faster are welcome =(

 

Wow that sucks. Good luck on the repairs.

 

sucks bro, but another reason to get an aftermarket bumper!

 

oh damn man sorry to hear that, from what i made out it seems as if its the guys fault, the insurance better make him pay all of it.. damn

i got the oem corners if u wanna buy them

 

gl with everything!

 

That does suck, but atleast your ok (I know easy for me to say). Regardless, heopfully the dude has insurance and you can get a sweet bumper out of it.

 

Put dibs on them for me =/, as soon as I get this settled with a check from the insurance company I'll pick them up from u

 

man that sucks bro, i know how you feel. someone rear ended me while i was parked yesterday. and didnt even bother to leave me a note or anything... mines not as bad as yours though. but mines is scratched as ****.

 

no problem man, or if u got class i can meet u up, they r always in my trunk

 

Make sure you get a police report that states the other driver is 100% responsible, otherwise those misreable SOB's at your insurance will pin some responsibility on you and HIKE your premiums.
GET THE POLICE REPORT and send it to them!

 

+1..

if you're going thru insurance, why not just have a shop get ur parts. im sure ur gonna have to pay deductible....
ur insurance is gonna go up no matter what...unless different...

check your policy

sometimes, when u think its just that..its much more underneath...

i went thru the same thing last month....i hit a raccoon...thought i could just buy parts...ended up costing almost 2gs...with paint.labor...
so i said F it and forked out the deduct and went to town....

just a suggestion...

GL, glad ur ok and wasn't worse..

 

the thing is that Im not filling under my insurance, Im claiming on his insurance so my rates shouldnt go up and its not at my fault

GL, glad ur ok and wasn't worse..[/QUOTE]

 

Man... no wonder Valley was a PITA last night. I saw cops ALL OVER Valley Blvd. I drove from Fremont all the way down to Rosemead and back. I didn't see any accidents though, but i know the traffic sucked REAL bad.

Why are you picking up used parts? The other party's insurance should cover you 100% on brand new parts from wherever you decide to get your car fixed. What insurance company?

 

I have farmers and so does the other party..

 

ouch!
