Accident tonight

[KCHOPS]

We started turning left with a green arrow and got hit by a red light runner with no insurance. Do you think this is repairable or totaled? Pretty sure there is frame damage because the trunk won’t open.

 

[dishdude]

Oh that's totaled.

 

[andrew_j]

I would not want that back if they could fix it. Happy car shopping .

Company car.

 

[CharBaby]

I certainly hope that everyone involved is OK!
Fixing vehicles today is difficult since there are so many sensors to get right and hope that their are no electrical gremlins in the future. Plus the front end may never be right and the car could be a tire eater, an overheated and a CEL mess the rest of the vehicles life. I'm sure the insurance will total out the vehicle.

That's rebuildable in Tajikistan, but no insurance company in the USA or Canada will touch that. I'd personally take the person who hit you to court and seek prison time. Heck go after them financially for everything they have. It might make them reconsider their bad Choices in life.

A company car would have full coverage on it I would assume; but what about a car with just liability coverage and you get hit by an uninsured motorist?

 

[MParr]

Totaled

 

[Soft Cars]

Oh and I almost forgot, I would most definitely have some kind of injury. Ambulance chaser where are you?

Keep the car's value under $15K (UIM property damage max limit, for me), hope they can't get out & run away, and the car is "stolen". A common occurrence here in the Nasty 'Nati.

"Turnips" don't have any blood...

I might have uninsured motorist coverage, I don't know. I should probably check.

Is there any data available regarding uninsured motorists?
In all crashes reported, how many parties (expressed as a percentage) are uninsured?
I ask so I can "insurance shop" smarter.

Is that a Corolla?

 

[hemitom]

Looks like the airbags did not deploy ?
If not they definitely should have.

I agree.

Thanks. Glad you're OK.

...more rear end parts for the junkyard.

Everybody involved lived, but a passenger in the other car left in an ambulance, there car rolled once airborne and again after landing. If I had been quicker out the gate I would have been dead.

Thankful you're OK. What happened to you is why if I'm first at a red light I give a 2-3 count while look hard before going. If people behind me don't like it tough.

 

[PimTac]

It’s done for.
