MS3 took it in the rear, and not the good way.

[Mybeauner]

I'm new to the forum (been a reader for awhile) and figured I'd put out a first post.

About a month back I stopped at a red light in my beautiful White MS3. I was then rear-ended at 50 by a Jeep Wrangler which was then rear ended by a Dodge Ram which pushed me into a car infront of me. Needless to say, my ride is pretty trashed but not totalled. My rear bumper was split in half and my hatch is now in my back seat, buttsecks in a badway. Front end is pretty smashed up but no engine damage.

The dick who hit me is trying to get out of any responsability so I have been working with a Lawyer and my MS3 has been sitting in the garage for a full month. I no longer enjoy driving now that it takes me 14 min to get to 60mph(bang)

With that being said, I'm excited to get it back whenever that is and need to get some mods. Already have mazdaspeed CIA. Any recommendations on what to do next? Thanks all.

Wow glad you are okay.

Wondering why it wasn't totaled if theres that much damage. Any pictures of the car?

 

[BlackCherry06]

If your hatch is really in your back seat, and the front is mashed too, I'd expect to never see that car again, unless you happen to see it being hauled off to a wrecking yard.

And what's this about the other driver trying not to take any responsibility?

Wonder how he'd like it if you suddenly started suffering from delayed whiplash.

Sport6 - Thank you, I am doing just fine minus the car lol and I will ty to get some pics up
BlackCherry06-I was amazed that it wasn't totaled but there was no engine damage and according to insurance company (Geiko at least) if the car's damage is less then 70% of the total value of the car, they will not total it. So my car has roughly $10,000 worth of damage.

I fractured my index finger and have wiplash in my neck, upper and lower back along with some soft tissue damage. When I say he is trying to get out of responsibility for paying, he and his insurance company are stating that there is "no legal evidence that they hit me first because the last car was cited for the accident". Gay to the max.

Been talking to the lawyer and he is going to come back at them because there is "no legal evidence when my injuries occured" lol so he gonna get me some $$$$ i hope. does that make sense?

 

[BlackCherry06]

Yes..sadly, it makes sense. The asshat is trying to make the other asshat behind him the skapegoat for the entire accident. It would be great if a traffic cam inadvertently caught the whole thing on tape.

 

[Mybeauner]

I totaly agree, and to make things worse, the ex-girlfriend I had dumped the previous day just happened to stop by. I'm thinking she planned it. . . always jealous of my car. Bitches be hatin'.

No, she's cool lol. But it is a big mess with the douche using the scape goat. Another speed bump= the back car has a $10,000 limit for their policy. . . and they have to pay everyone else's damage. See any issues here?

 

[BlackCherry06]

A $10K limit? That doesn't even sound legal. What if he'd rear-ended a Mercedes S? You might be glad you lawyered up. Sounds like he'll need to be sued before this is over.

I have no patience with under-insured / uninsured drivers.

 

[Mybeauner]

seriously! Lucky for me my lawyer was referred by a friend and this friend was hit by a damn illegal alien with no insurance (at a stop sign and the guy rear ended him ay 65!!!) but the lawyer got him $50K after all the bills. crossing my fingers on that one hahah

And I got the guys number, name, address . . . so someone is getting a lifetime supply of free gay porn, telemarketer calls, free samples of who knows what and local craigslist creeps looking for a free good time from a chineese mistress LOL (and for those of you that don't know, I would never actually do this, maybe)

From what I have heard in the past with accidents like this is that that you get the person's insurance that hit you, not the guy at the end of it all as they didn't actually hit your car. Sucks to hear about it. Glad you are okay. It is definitely for the best that you lawyered up though. Hope everything turns out good for ya!

 

[Mybeauner]

Thanks! I got everyone's insurance to be safe so I'm sure it'll work out.

That's what you get when you live in a town called "Surprise!"

/I keed, I keed

 

[bigdaddy]

gosh, why do people seem to recently have been posting all of these crash stories?? This s like the third or fourth in the past 2 weeks

 

[BlackCherry06]

Because people we share the roads with are becoming more idiotic by the day.

Haha well played

I also blame the asshole insurance companies. They will do all they can to get out of paying as well.

Agreed.

Also, were the cops called? Mine was rear ended too, and luckily I had witnesses around to help explain to the cops that I was hit first (dude hit me, took off and hit another vehicle). Once the other guy's insurance got the police report, they were more than willing to do anything to make it right. I've pretty much got them by the balls at this point because the guy was arrested for hit and run, and DUI.

Hopefully the lawyer hooks you up though. Gotta hate douchebags that can't own up to their own mistakes.

 

[bigdaddy]

pics? I would like to see some por favor.

......a $10,000 limit for their policy. . . and they have to pay everyone else's damage. See any issues here?

yeah, i see an issue of it being wrong, untrue, and a lie.

they better come up with a better one, if they nail someone like that here in texas. all states seem to handle insurance a bit different.... $10,000 limit on a liability claim???? wow. so i guess if numbnuts nailed a $125,000 porsche or something (or, for instance, killed someone, drove into a jewelry store, etc.)..... "sorry, $10k limit, hhahahahahaaa!" and they walk away? your lawyer (or your insurance company's lawyers) should have a giggle fit when you tell him that one.

i would definitely have to call bulls*** on whoever is telling you that. i'd have to see that s*** in writing, with a witch doctor, lawyer, priest, and attorney general present.

yeah, i've always thought of auto insurance as legalized racketeering. here in texas you have to have at a minimum liability insurance, and even then they never want to pay when their party is at fault, or your insurance acts like it is your fault because someone hit you who didn't have insurance at all......

it all sucks.

 

[Mybeauner]

Exactly the reason I got a lawyer. And I'll get some pics up asap. But the good news is it is finally going to the shop tomorrow! A full month and four days after being hit.

But again i'll get some pics up tomorrow after work

wow sorry to hear!!!!
