My 04 Civic got hit in the parking lot of the grocery store, this young lady backed right into the side of my car, and said it's my fault.

I called the police, I let her use my cell to call her insurance, I called my insurance. I took the car in for an estimate for my insurance, and called her insurance, they said it was my fault, she backed into me WTF.

Anyway, I wrote a two page report of what happened, and took a lot of pictures of my car. the estimate to repair my rear quarter panel, and side of my back bumper was almost $1,300.00 WTF again.

Her insurance didn't need me to get an estimate for them, but they blew it.

I'm just pretty mad about this whole thing. my car is only 5 months old.

Were you parked or moving?

that's the funny part, after she backed into the side of my car, We both pulled into parking spots opposite eachother. her left corner of her rear corolla's bumper was smashed in like it hit a wall, there is a dent that matches in my left quarter panel, and scratches going back to the end of my bumper from when we separated, and pulled back into our spots.

I was moving I was backed almost all the way out of my spot and onto the road way, when her car backed into my quarter panel, I was going very slowly, watching for grocery carts, and kids. from the impact point I continued to back up about three inches, when I suddenly saw her trunk right under my driver door window.

that's gonna be hard to say that you had no fault in the collision cause you were both backing out

ES2Guy

What state are you in because a lot of the laws are different depending on where you are. If you were here in California it would have been her fault only because you were most of the way out. Were there any witnesses? Hope you got their names and whatnot, any police report? Good luck!

ty.barrack

yes I see your point but the pictures, and my report make it very clear as to who hit who.

ES2Guy

We at 7thgen are very visual people, so if you could create a "diagram" of what happened it might help some.

visual = we're too stupid and dumb to read what you say so we need a picture... hey that's what i do in TIME magazine

ty.barrack

yeah I was almost all the way out, and I called the police they got there in about 10 minutes took down the report of the accident. I'll post pictures probably tonight.

Yes I am in San Diego

um yeah it's her fault for not paying attention.Doesn't matter if both of you were moving. Whoever is on the roadway has right of way over those in a parking spot.

first mistake, you should have never moved, fvck that ****. i would have stayed as is. so when the police comes, he will tell who's fault it is. fvck whoever tells you to move. you should have not moved that car a single inch. if that was me, aint putting that key to my ignition once im hit. hell if someone tells you your blocking traffic etc. fvck it, they all can get the fvck out of the scene and go around.
when i was hit on DC, and you know how busy DC streets are, i ain't move that car a single inch of ****. i waited for the police to tell me to move it.
anyways hope its not your fault, and did you get all her info?

what did the police report said??? They should have something to said like who fault was it.

Don't call ur insurance company when it is her fault. That way ur insurance would go up, even though it is not ur fault.

well If we didnt move we would have been blocking about 4 people from getting out of their cars, and it was about 3:45 in the afternoon on a Wednesday Afternoon. anyhow, she was obviously at fault, we both have insurance, no matter what kind of creative bull story she comes up with the physical evidence will tell the truth 100%.

I am just going to be happy when my car is fixed. I just don't think my insurance should pay for her reckless driving. I have been driving for almost 21 years now, and never been in a car accident of any sort, she might have been 18 years old.

In fact according to her she just got her car back from the body shop a couple days before our accident, for the same corner of her bumper being smashed.

That sucks man, I woulda flipped out if she tried tellin me it was my fault

they probably do a risk analysis of the accident based on your stories and damage. Sometimes insurances like doing percentages on whose fault it was. Sometimes it could be 100% there fault or it could be 70% there fault and 30% your fault. If you have good insurance, all you really have to do is tell them your story and they should take care it for you and tell you how there going to settle it.

sorry to hear about your 04

ty.barrack

yeah it sucks, and the body shop is going to need my car for 5 to 7 days to fix it. Ouch. good thing it's early in the year got plenty of vacation left.

There was your first mistake

you'd be surprised older people who have more experience know how to work the system


Next time...if there is a next time...do not move the vehicles till the officer gets there so he can see the points of impact and where the cars were..skid marks etc....

i had a horrible time one time as well, they said it was my fault

haha check out my diagram i did at the time.
