I Got Rear Ended Today

[JRad405]

So I'm kind of pissed because the car got hit. I was basically at a red light and the guy driving decided he didn't want to stop.

So now my car has paint damage, the bumper is knocked off and my exhaust pipe is bent and it is rubbing on the rear tire. Fortunately no one was hurt. I was actually more pissed that the guy gets out of the car while I'm calling the cops and says there's no damage. So while on the phone I get out and I see all the above and I'm like what's that. Then he offers me $100 for it. I was like $100 pays for the shipping it would cost for a new bumper. I told him $800 minimum and it really should be more. He said no its not worth it. So I told him that we can wait for the cops. He tried to offer me the same amount again....usually at that point you offer more. I just didn't say anything more and waited for the cop.

The cop basically told me that since he failed to stop and hit me from behind, it was the other guys fault.

I'll post some pics tomorrow in the crappy NJ rain. I basically can't drive the car with rubbing and my insurance company told me not to touch anything until I speak to a representative during the day and see what is going on.

ALWAYS get an accident report. especially since that guy is at fault. did he have insurance?

Yes to neck pain today and to the accident report. I didn't want to mess around with the bs $100 and having some argument with insurance companies. The cop said basically it was the other guys fault because I stopped for the red, so there's really no argument there.

I added some pics. The damage isn't so bad, but I just never got into a genuine accident that left this sort of damage. Usually it would be no damage to either car when I drove my parents car or with this car I just never got hit except by an asshole neighbor next to my gf's place and I flipped out on him because the turd purposely parks close to my car. Except that time I got hit.

Anyway, the pics speak for itself. The exhaust is the only part that is messed up really and I was hit hard enough that the bumper support bracket is bent pretty nicely. I feel like it could be banged out or the part could be taken from a junked mustang.

you'd be surprised what can be damaged and how much it costs to fix. don't assume anything, take it to a body shop and have them look at it.

surprised you didnt say anything more than you did to that guy. what a royal DOUCHEBAG... like the others said have body shop check it and make sure the impact didnt roll the quarter panel a little i had my bumper hit and rolled my 1/4 in a little bit. sucks man at least youre ok. minus the pain in the neck.

I'm glad these cars are light enough to mod, and strong enough to take a hit.
