ITS A CIVIC there were millions produced. I am sure getting your baby fixed wont be to bad, Shut the fuck up. I don't care if you're driving a 92 geo metro getting shattered by some careless non-driving fuck is not a good time. Trust me, I got rear ended in my old 88 sunbird. The car was a POS beater, but getting injured is not a good thing. Whiplash and back trauma fo' the loss... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
launchin1st Posted April 22, 2006 Report Share Posted April 22, 2006 you will need a lawer if you plan on sueing. they take about 33% of your winnings, so just up the amount you want. im going through it now. trust me, insurance companies suck.

Cougar1647545494 Posted April 22, 2006 Report Share Posted April 22, 2006 before you take your car back from the shop make sure its perfect...otherwise don't accept it. once you sign the release its done. Awesome advice. Take a friend that knows bodywork/what not if you're not sure. Take it for a drive, inspect everything. As said, once you say ok and sign that paper, whatever's not right will stay that way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

still2hi Posted April 23, 2006 Report Share Posted April 23, 2006 Sorry for your accident. Even though it is a civic, its still your car, you pay for it, and you enjoy it. Thats all that matters really. My mom was in a accident this week and there is a place on the east side called Rutherfords and that is where I will be taking her car to. I have heard and seen nothing but excellent work from them. I've gone to 3c and all these others places and have never been embressed with the work. I cannot find them in the yellow pages but when I get there number I will PM you if you are interested. Brandon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kevin R. Posted April 23, 2006 Report Share Posted April 23, 2006 Wow. If you would have said "my CIVIC got hit" I probably would give you my sympathy. But, after my mad rush of clicking to enter this to see if your baby, or child, was okay after "being hit", a Honda Civic doesn't seem so important. I was like "Oh shit, his kid got hit". Sorry about the car though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LJ Posted April 23, 2006 Report Share Posted April 23, 2006 when i fucked up my civic back in 02 ($11,000 in front end damage) even honda certification inspectors (for certified preowned hondas) couldn't tell the car had ever been wrecked after using Roush Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Akula Posted April 24, 2006 Report Share Posted April 24, 2006 This accident was not your fault, don't let it be. Make the insurance company pay for everything, time off of work, Dr.s bills, broken pencil, EVERYTHING. Now that your car has been in a wreck you need to tell them it is worth less than it was before and they need to compensate you for it. You need to look for diminished value in addition to the repairs. My car got totalled and I got paid the value of the vehicle, which could not replace the vehicle and I got screwed. I was young. If they balk at the #'s you throw at them, ask them if they know any good lawyers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest 78novaman Posted April 27, 2006 Report Share Posted April 27, 2006 You should be a lot more worried about your neck than your car. Cars can be replaced, people can't. I would definately hire a personal injury lawyer now and please go see a doctor! Keep track of all expenses related to the accident and the lawyer will make sure the at fault party will pay/reimburse you for everything.
