Re: Accident 2008

no you can't sue the insurance company, nor would it even be worth it financially or otherwise if you could. premium increases because that's how insurance companies are. To remove this ad, register today for free or log in if already registered!

Looks like Mercury received it.
I got a call yesterday during class and Mercury left me a message saying that the company will cut me a check for half.... WTF!? None of this was my fault! The lady in the Mercedez backed up into the flow of traffic, which I emphasized on in the letter!!!
Basically, Mercury Insurance told me that I can fight it by giving my insurance (Kemper Independent Insurance Company) a call to fight it. Well, I gave my insurance a call and the lady that I tried to get a hold of is on vacation... just wonderful! She won't be back 'til the 25 of this month.
I hope karma will come back as a big bitch to the lady who backed up into me. That's wrong! Accusing me and then winning half!? Fuck that. That ain't right. I never backed up into her and both my insurance and her insurance are POS's! They haven't "investigated" shit yet either. How dumb. I'm going to push both insurance to fight for me; Mercury is going to hear from me pretty soon. I'm not going to let her win.

Re: Accident 2008

can you ask for anyone else at your insurance company to take over for her?

anyways, yeah they know your young, so they figure you might take the cash. Just go with what you just said and fight it. Start getting quotes to from shops...i say go to oem dealerships that do collusion work and get quotes from them.

I think cerritos honda does collusion work..you might want to call and double check.

Tell them to cut you a check for that amount or for them to pay for it to get fix at the shops you want. Don't sign anything until your happy with the amount your receiving.

Re: Accident 2008

Get this taken cared off soon, don't wait on ur insurance lady to come back, get some other agent on this case ASAP. Obviously someone has to be covering her spot while she's on her vacation. Causing delays is equivalent to more loss.

Re: Accident 2008

if you have any general insurance questions, my aunt works for an insurance company and i can just shoot her an email to she if she could assist you. I used her help a lot in my accidents, (and both were paid in full to me! FTW!).

That would be great! Thanks man. I guess my biggest concern is will I win this case 100% with my insurance on MY side? Um, what else can I do if both insurance says that they see that we're both at fault (me and the lady who backed up into me)? Obviously, I don't find myself at fault at all because she backed up into the flow of traffic from her parking spot. UGH... she blows! Thanks for the help!

Re: Accident 2008

Well, the insurance company will take the police report as a primary source of legitimate documentation of the accident. If there was an admission of guilt from one side, then it would've been written in the police report.

Obviously, if they are fully at fault, their insurance company should be covering the whole thing. Your insurance adjuster will contact their insurance adjuster and try to work things out, and if they're trying to give you shit, like pay you half, just remember to emphasize the police report.

And if her insurance fully covers damages, there's no reason for your premium to go up, because your insurance didn't pay for it.

Damn, thanks a whole bunch

So here I go: I never got a police report. I thought I did and I thought it was something that I was able to obtain at a later time by requesting it. I called up the police station in Long Beach like a week or 2 after the incident and their policy is that the police would not write a police report unless 1) there was bodily injuries involved 2) a hit and run and 3) A major collision.

So, I was pretty bummed and forgot to mention that on here. I guess I learned that if I ever get into an accident and I know for sure that it isn't my fault, always report some type of bodily injury, because then, well, you'll probably regret it if you don't report backache/headache/ etc., especially folks that live around here (not sure about the police policies elsewhere).

Thanks for all the help guys. I hope both insurance companies are on my side () and I just don't know. I actually feel dumb, but let this be a learning lesson for those who do not know Long Beach city's police policies for obtaining a police report. *sigh*

That's a B.S policy, no matter even if its a small touch up without noticeable damage, the Cops must make a report and shud give u a reference copy in which the other person's information is listed. In ur case it's a pretty bad hit, regardless of u being inside the car or not does not matter since the car is ur Property and someone has tampered with it so that gives u full right to demand justice.

I suggest something like this happens again, u better make sure the cop makes the full report, if he gives u snarky remarks, demand him to make one since he's a public servant. They get lazy if they see a minor accident because they have to do paperwork but if ur pushy they sure will.
