op, look into diminished value .
It was a girl (early teens), pretty sure she was texting, but you should've seen the van that hit me, the black stallion came out pretty good as I drove away.
The second thing I did after checking my passengers was see if she was OK, but she never even came over, did everything through the PO. The insurance was a nightmare, go figure I get rear ended by someone carrying Fred Loya.
Way ahead of you. Already looking into it.
**Update**
It was just confirmed that the other guy didn't have insurance so I'm on my own (me and my insurance) to cover this. I suspected as much with the way things were being handled right after it happened but I couldn't say for certain. Again, I'm being careful with my words here since I don't know what direction I'm going with this but after today, I don't have a ton of options. This just keeps getting better.
Damn, that sucks. I hope he at least gets a stiff fine from the state for not having insurance. Look at the good side.......you probably can pick your body shop. Glad you are ok, although you are probably a bit sore by now. Kind of surprised he doesn't have insurance on his vehicle, it being fairly new.........
A reputable body shop will fix that and no one would ever be able to find that it had been worked on or know the difference. As far as that goes there is a department in every assembly plant that fixes and repairs damaged vehicles before they ever ship them out. I know several people that work there, if the door doesn't close right they just put a 2 x 4 in it and flex it until it does. If the back window gets installed in a pick up with the seatbelts hanging out, they take the window out stuff the seatbelt inside if they're not damaged put the window back in etc
Wait, so down there your plates don't include any insurance at all? Here when I pay my $1000 a year for plates, that gives me a $700 deductible for damage and $200,000 liability. I also pay an extra $300 a year for $2.2mil liability, $700 damage deductible, $0 no fault deductible, covers rentals and glass coverage.
So backwards. You guys get hosed :/
Glad you're OK though!
whats fred loya???
dont second quess the carproof its easy to hide the repairs if you know the right people, my 2013 was hit by a transport while parked and i had it fixed thru insurance and mentioned the carproof thing to the bodyshop and he told me outright not to worry about it. When i traded the 2013 in 2 years ago the dealer pulled a carfax and it was not there which really surprised me considering i had $6000 in damage to the front of my truckOnly minor repairs are done in an assembly plant, spent 23 years there before retirement. Not sure about the US but here in Canada an accident repaired by insurance is registered and can't be hidden from the public. It's called CARPROOF, also shows liens etc.
