He must have said sorry 100 times for bot paying attention.. Ahhh.. Well me and my GF health is more important than a small paint chip. Thankfully it wasn't anything major you know

+1 to what Triple's said. The foam bumper underneath the shell may need to be replaced. Same thing happened to me. I stopped for an emergency vehicle at a corner and the guy behind me kept going. Nothing major on the surface but it cost $1100 to get it fixed.

Depends on the state but usually a ticket. And I'm not really sure why you said he hit you a freeway speeds when he obviously didn't. It really takes away from the credibility of your story

I believe the standard is that anything under 5 mph cannot cause damage, except cosmetic.
I was rear ended @ 40 mph while sitting still. $22,000 damage to my Acura. Just looking at the Z, I'd guess anything over about 10 mph would jack the bumper, hatch, quarter panels and everything underneath. |

This is exactly what I am thinking how did you not beat his azzz. Maybe before but once he said no insurance I would have gone ape sh!t on him.

But i think if it wouldve been severe damage, and he wouldve said he had no insurance.... I think i would have thrown him to the opposite side of traffic. Lol |

ImageUploadedByTapatalk1351175326.776083.jpg ImageUploadedByTapatalk1351175340.646740.jpg Here are some pictures for you guys. I haven't been in a car accident for some time now, so i was a bit shaken up. I cant say for sure how fast he was going, so ill retract my previous statement of him going at freeway speeds since i honestly cant say if he was going 5mph or 60.. (Sure *** hell felt like 60 lol) but nonetheless, thankfully, my bumper is still in one piece, and me and my passenger are ok. Now lets just hope the frame underneath the rear bumper wasn't damaged |

yeah.... i was rear ended at 30mph and it caused 23k worth of damage.... they crumple like a piece of paper.
You should have filed a police report. first, anyone with out car insurance should get a ticket everyday and can suck my nozzle! ive been hit several time and only one person had insurance. and second, good luck actually getting the dude to pay....its not gonna be cheap.... sorry dude, not trying to be a dik, just realistic... car accidents suck! |
