Yep... just got in an accident. From all accounts, it's the other guys fault, but my car is likely totaled. Front radiator impact and possible frame damage.
He was turning left onto the main street I was crossing and I didn't see him turning in front of me as I was proceeding through the intersection. Car is sitting on a side street near the scene for now.
Dammit... there goes my Carma again. Who did I slight this time?
Well,anyhow, I just filed the claim with Geico online since my phone has little time left on it. I was going to have AAA tow it but then realized that I didn't have anywhere to tow it to.
As soon as Geico gets back to me on Friday I'll have AAA tow it to a 'repair facility' to have the damage assessed. Pretty much when the front grill and radiator have a big hole in it and it's leaking water...not good.
So, I'm okay physically so far. My right hand is sore from the steering wheel and the right side of my neck. If I don't feel any improvement (riiiight) by Saturday I'll go to the urgent care to get looked at. Also tell the insurance company so they're alerted.
The poor kid that hit me is under 25 because he said he was still an age where they don't look kindly on accidents at his age and would likely hike his rates. He seemed to feel that he'd rather not go through the insurance and would pay for my repairs himself. I really do feel sorry for him, but at least this time, I have insurance. And registration up to date!
Um..dude... don't think you can handle this one unless you're loaded. I paid 5000 for the car originally so blue book is still a few thousand.
We'll see what happens, have to let insurance know that I need a rental car ASAP as well.
Okay, right neck and shoulder is definitely sore... going to go check a chat room to say hi then go back down the street to Ambers.
