Hit this morning!?!?!

Juni · 08-30-2005, 12:12 AM

So, today on my way to work.....I was at a red light. Next thing I know I hear tires screaming and I look in my rear view......

....I get hit by a damn subaru. She hit me so hard that there is no longer a right side to my M-tech rear bumper. There is no longer a tail light, there is no longer perfection in my car. She said that some car blew the light at the intersection and and she tried to avoid him......at my expense

. She called the cops and I get hauled off to the hospital. Treated and released, I must now think of bigger and better things to come. I've decided to go with Rieger as far as exterior styling goes, (might as well do it on the insurance companies wallet), but in order for me to do that I must find a company (in the USA) that carries the Rieger rear bumper for our cars. So here I am in a neck brace

asking for your help. I need to find this bumper soon so I can tell my body shop to order it. I cant go too long without my baby. Please tell me of any websites, phone numbers, and or ebay auctions I can look into so I can get this for my car. Any and all your help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance,

Juni

sue! sue! sue!

glad to hear you're okay.

personally, i'd wait a little bit on the insurance claim, since some of your medical injuries may not spring up for a bit. also, have the car looked over twice; people can easily miss parts that need repaired.

That is so American.

Well I hope you are OK and you can get your car back on the road.

UPDATE

So, I'm now back to work and still trying to work out all the kinks in this insurance claim.....but there is a problem. Since the car isn't registered under my name they are now using the excuse that they shouldnt be held liable for the damage; seeing as to how I was supposed to be driving anyway.

So me a my father talked it over and got a ruthless ass lawyer and today we followed suit and sued their ass for $70,000 (damages & mental suffering). We are also going to sue the ladie that hit me for some other reason yet to be decided by my lawyer. So as of now the car sits in a tow yard collecting dust and rust until this is all over. But now that I'm going to have a huge lump of cash fall in my lap.........I find myself having to re-asess what my plans if any for ///Mti. I'll keep you posted.

Juni,
Are you in the US?
Who is teh car registered to?
Are you on the insurance policy?

aceyx · 09-07-2005, 12:49 AM

also, where are you in the US? (and where is the woman from?)

Juni · 09-07-2005, 01:48 PM

Im from MA, and so is the woman. Im not listed as a driver on the policy.......but then again they cant prove that i'm a habitual user of the car. In either case I dont even have the same address as my parents because I moved out some time ago. It all seems to be in my favor but they still wanna act like asses. The funny part about this is.....is that the woman that hit me has the same car insurance company.

no offense, but if i was them i'd sue you for trying to claim against a policy you are not covered under.

Just my $0.02.

Juni · 09-07-2005, 04:07 PM

The law in MA is stated as so..........If you are hit from behind, by default, the other driver is @ fault. It also states that in MA you can lend your vehicle to whomever you please even if they aren't on the insurance policy so long as they do not live in the same household and or are not habitual users of the vehicle. And even so, regardless about weather im covered or not, the car should always be covered because we have collision, vandalism and theft insurance. Hence they dont really have a case here, so I'm assuming that they will try to settle out of court some time in the next couple of weeks.

stormos · 09-07-2005, 05:00 PM

that first law is the same here, BUT if the other party provides evidence backing them up as the innocent party it can be turned...... collision, vandalism and theft..... THIS usally means only on the named drivers contained wherein the policy.

I consider America a ridiculous world of LAW, i could crack a tooth on a McD's chip and get $1,000,000. pretty stupid if you ask me.
