Replying to: patcof2 (Sep 15, 2006 3:12 pm) My advice since you have some medical injuries, get a lawyer, NOW. My wife was in an accident similar to yours, sitting at a red light, rear ended by a drunk driver with bad brakes going 45 MPH. I had to fight with the ins co to get our car totalled and since she had no permanent injuries, in the state of Florida we couldn't sue for pain & suffering, no lawyer would take the case. In the infamous words of Bill Gates as he talked to a class of graduating high school students, "Sometimes life just sucks, get used to it". Good luck to you and let us know how you make out. |

we all have differing opinions of "snotty answers", I have found that posters want information one of two ways...to-the-point answers, or sugar-coated answers... Frankly, I do not have the time to waste to offer sugar coated answers that require further explanation in a followup post...to save time and to (hopefully) give you some thoughts on what YOU NEED TO DO NOW, I get to the point... From here on in, all posters should label their questions with either of the following prefacing statements: either a. "I want a sugar coated answer, as I am unable to deal with hard information" or b. "tell me like it is so I can hopefully start to resolve my problem today" I will, therefore, ignore those with statement "a", and will just try and be helpful (and not always successful, of course...  ) to those who post "b"

Hey everybody, From T-intersecetion I got t-boned while making a left turn by a commercial work truck (a ford f450). I was cited for a failure to yield violation. I thought I had time to make the turn. The other driver said he saw me but couldn't stop in time. The other party had minimal damage to his bumper. Their were no injuries. My vehicle a 04 Jeep Grand Cherokee AWD had the whole driver side caved in. The adjuster, from his exterior assessment... says the damaged areas can be replaced which is at $12k. For it to be a total loss it has to be at 65% actual value which is at $16k. The value of the jeep is around 25k. The adjuster says he going to take it to a dealer body shop to have it further evaluated for more internal damage. I know that the front driver side axle is pushed in and bent also the steering column is tweaked towards the passenger side. I rather not drive a rebuilt vehicle. What is the usual outcome in these cases? Any input would be appreciated. Thanks. |
