i was going straight and this woman came out of nowhere from left, and here are the damages... what a nice day
cops came, we both have geico, i am looking for the estimate on the damges, if its too high i will go with insurance, if its under 500 bucks i would just fix it myself... any advices?

 

omg thats is NOTHING... buy a new bumper, and corner light, ur turn signals aren't even damaged... I would hardly call it an accident... u should have just settled this outside the cops... this kind of damage isn't worth ur insurance going up..

 

yeah, we didnt call the cops, but he just came out of nowhere, he wrote an accident report not on file though. but you see that bent fender? how much it takes to straight it out?

 

Why would his insurance go up if it was her fault...

 

dont they just raise the premium even its not your fault?

 

sounds like something those sheisters would do. I strongly dislike insurance companies. Damned if you do damned if you don't I guess

 

That is just added character. no big deal a new corner light is all u need

 

that's a total loss. Part it out, i'll buy it, local pickup.

DIBS!

 

oh come on dude, this is my first time...

 

just by looking at your pic that is NOTHING.
The bumpers not cracked or anything, can be buffed out and get some ebay corner light for 20 bucks., buffing compound = 10 bucks. elbow grease = free.

" Sir,your total comes out to 30 dollars. How would you like to pay? "

 

no matter who's fault it is... he's liable for just being there... trust me I've had 3 accidents... its all been like that...

and Ishio, can't tell that the fender was bent... too dark... but ya, if u don't know how to do the fender bring it to the shop, but the bumper... thats easy as pie

 

hmm...if you dont want it repainted? it will be under 500..if you do ( duh you do ) over 500..tell you that now..unless you have a VERY cool mechanic friend...

Corner light = 20 bux

Bumpuer = under 100 i think...

nissan paint = Arm + Leg

 

Hey tavarish! What you selling his MAF and KS for?!

 

sometimes they do, it depends on the situation and company

one time I was in an accident my vehicle wasn't moving at all and lady just ran right into me. There was no damage on my vehichle and I didn't even make a claim but she did. She took her lightly scratched car to a mechanic that screws over insurance companies and got 1500 estimate which included the whole bumper headlight and the HUBCAP !!!! Turns out she wasn't paying her insurance at time of the accident so she only got half of her claim. Anyway they raised my premium for a couple of months I believe I lost about 500 out of the whole ordeal. Not to mention same insurance company and car. Either way the insurance companies always win.

for me 0 damage 0% my fault and still paid for it

 

when the other driver came out of " no where", was this "no where" like a stop sign, or a parking spot??

 

That's all he gets to choose? stop sign or parking spot?

 

Was she driving a pink car?

i guess i got lucky. i got hit from the back on my max and i had Am.Family at the time and they was super nice to me. they came out the next business day and gave me a check for $5800 that same day and i went to the friend and got my car fix for $2000. it was ghetto fix but i cant expect much, and my insurance didnt go up. tell told me to hold on the the police report just to make sure if it does go up i can show it wasnt my fault.

 

at least no one is hurt

 

well it has to do with a lot of what the cop says too... and cops here are racist it gives the other company an excuse to put some blame on me even though it wasn't my fault...

 

feel you man, i know that is not a big loss but it sucks
