Got into a car accident, not at fault. Now what?
So, yesterday I got into a car accident. I was coming down a one way road and the other person (an elderly lady) was coming out a residential area. I had the right of way and the woman coming out of the residential kept creeping out more and more to turn, so I slowed but then she just stopped and stayed stopped as if she was going to yield, so I proceeded to keep going. I think she miscalculated her timing because as I was driving and finally approached her car to pass, she proceeded to go and rammed her SUV right into my Honda Accord. I tried swerving out of the way as my dad was my passenger but an island blocked me and I had no escape. She hit me so hard on my passenger side that I was actually knocked onto oncoming traffic and my right side is totaled. She even knocked my mirror off, which flew into my window. This morning, her insurance company admitted fault and said they would pay for the damages. I drive a coop, so I know they will be needing to replace my whole right side and most likely fix the electrics since my mirrors, window, and locks are electric. My question is, do you think they will fix my car or give me a settlement? If they do give me a settlement, how does it work?
You can get the very best car insurance deals using: I got our insurance via that service and it was almost 50% lower than market place prices.
They will offer you some money based on estimates of the damage done to your vehicle. You can either get the money from them or have them pay a body shop to fix your car. It is your choice.
They will pay to fix your car
also report it to your insurance company so you don't get screwed
- Who would be at fault in a car wreck like this? This wasn't my video but it's just like what happened in my case. Basically, my fiancé was driving her silver Audi Q7 the way the camera car was driving. A red Honda Crosstour pulled out the way the van did and they collided. So who would be at fault? My fiancé or the red Honda?
- I just pulled into the parking lot at work and when I got off my van I noticed I had more space to back up so I tried to turn on my van and? It was dead. I checked the ports and everything looked good. The battery is new. What can it be? I have a 2006 Honda Odyssey EXL
- I have a 2015 Honda rancher that had a crack in the air box. It got so much dirt through the air filter it got into my piston. So it now Burns oil and I was wonder will it ever stop smoking. I know I have to rebuild the engin so don't even say it. And how long will it take before it losses power.
- Car ran fine then wouldn't start, got a jump, now everything is fine again. What happened? '03 Honda Civic. Last 30 mins of work I sat in my car with the A/C on full blast and radio on, like I do everyday (and of course the car is running). I stopped at Subway after work. The car was parked for 10 mins. After the car would not start but the radio and dash board lights would come on, but it would not crank. Got a jump from AAA. Afterwards Auto Zone tested the battery and alternator, both passed. I has been a week now and no problems. What the heck could have happened?
