I got hit by truck :(
 

My car got hit by a dodge truck backing out at the parking lot while I was at work. My rear bumber had a cracked on top part of the plate number and plate light was broken. My coworker saw the whole incident and she got the plate number of the truck. The driver took off and came back after I called a cop and reported her. She's willing to pay all the expenses, but I am just worried my transmission got damaged too. I left my car parked in gear and hand break was engaged.

I just got home now from work. The car seems to drive ok.

Sorry to hear that man. Hope everything gets take care of and the Z goes back to normal afterwards!

why would she be willing to pay all the expenses, no insurance? Or just to many hit and runs? Did she get a ticket for leaving the scene too?

My guess is the transmission is fine. A car left in gear potentially can roll....that's how you start an engine by rolling the car downhill and releasing the clutch in 2nd. Sorry about the fender bender. That's a horrible feeling.

Sue her for emotional distress from the hit and run...if that can be done. Don't let her get away with running away. I would make her pay extra just for that.

Then repair the car in full, trade in get a 2010. :p

Not really if your in 1st or Rev. Car will just skid.

Sorry to hear that, like others have mentioned, your tranny should be fine, let the insurance take care of it, and make sure the the body shop does a good job. Good Luck

she got insurance (geico). What I mean for that is she is willing to pay my expenses in just incase I'm going to pay a deductable. As long as my car gets fix and working great then there I couldn't ask for more.

I would go thru the insurance cuz you will need a rental while its fixed too. She is doing it this way to keep her insurnace from going up and if you let her do it that way she can stiff you on things. Plus she needs higher insurance just for leaving the scene, she only came back cuz she knew you got her plate so I would be an *** and notlet her off the hook. If she is let off the hook she will do it again.

:iagree:

Sorry to hear about that man. I hope everything gets worked out in the end...

:shakes head:I'm so sorry to hear about your ordeal. Did it happen after you left the meet at International plaza??? Post some pics of the damage, if you can. Hopefully nothing beneath the plastic cover was damaged, then its only the cover and some paint.. When I left the meet on Sat. I was on 275 when we noted a large black piece of metal or plastic in the middle lane. Some poor soul definitely hit it and you know thats gonna cost him...You gotta keep your eyes peeled out there..at least in your case someone else anted up and is paying to reverse the damage. Hope the best for you man...

No, this was happened Sunday at 6pm while I was working. When I saw my car, I couldn't even go back to work. I was very mad and upset.

:iagree:

My condolences, man. A similar thing happened to me a few months ago. I got everything fixed up just fine though. Take a deep breath, crap happens. Think positive, i.e., everything will work out for you as well.
