me and my daughter were in an accident tonight. a guy rear-ended me. i called the cops and he told the cops he wasnt driving, the guy who was driving took off running (which i think is BS bcuz it was his wifes car) anyways i have to wait for the accident report for about another 2 wks atleast bcuz they are giving him 10 days to come up with this "guy who was driving the car"...anyways, i have never been in an accident before....i really think this guy didnt have ins because he didnt wanna call the cops. if he doesnt have ins do i have to sue them and take them to court? will i ever get my money from them if they dont have ins?

by lady_kira on Oct. 8, 2008 at 12:19 AMYou guys doing ok? I'm not sure how it all works with his insurance, but he is responsible since it's a rear ending accident. My friend got rear-ended by a semi, it pushed her car into an intersection, thank god it wasn't a busy road. The police that came out told her that if she hadn't been in a BMW and had been in an american made car the entire back of her car would have been crunched into her kids, I was amazed at how the BMW didn't even look like anyone had hit her... Anyway, they went to the ER but were ok other than incredibly sore. Yay for steel cars. heh. So did you guys get checked out and stuff? |

by Punkin6498 on Oct. 8, 2008 at 12:21 AMI don't know what kind of coverage you have, but ours kicks into whatever we are driving, a borrowed car, a new one, a rental car, or a test drive. I'd call your ins. if they guy doesn't have it, chances are you will spend more money trying to sue him than you'll actually ever see! It could take YEARS and you may never see anything Quoting Kelli.and.Ellie: |

by soccerchik8287 on Oct. 8, 2008 at 12:22 AMin our state you have to have insurance on a car before it even leaves the lot (we just learned that one the hard way lol) i would talk to whoever you have insurance with (even if you do not have it on that specific car yet) and see what they say, that is what i did when a lady hit me and they were a huge help and took care of pretty much everything for me Quoting Kelli.and.Ellie:
