Got rear ended for the 3rd time

jaedub · 12-13-2016, 01:33 PM

I was on my way to work on a stop-and-go traffic on the 405 freeway when this lady rear ended me out of no where. She was obviously on her phone and not paying attention. I think she hit me going about 15 mph. I've already filed a claim through our insurance. Paint came off and there are some imprints on my bumper. As for her, her license plate broke off with some nicks here and there.

Yeah man, this is my 4th fender bender by the other party. I might just go with the Nismo rear bumper. I wonder if I can get this done through the insurance.

Find a shop who wont mind ordering the Nismo bumper. Insurance will cover it, you will just have to pay any price differences out of pocket.

Totally agree David. Happened to me twice here in SoCal. First one was 2 months after purchase the other was around this time last year.

Jay - glad you're ok though. Just a thought if you want it replaced vs repaired. Based on how it looks you might have to find a good shop who'd fight for you and get a replacement. An adjuster from the offending driver's insurance company will fight a replacement. It does not look beat enough for them to sign off on that.

Thank you Raf,

I'll keep that in mind. I'll try my best to have them replace it instead of fixing it (hopefully a box of dozen donuts will do the trick). And how come I don't see your beautiful car anymore at the parking spot in front of Chase? I go to that mall often and I haven't seen your Z for awhile now.

Yup. Rooftop parking brother! There's a ramp on the side of the building that takes you to the top. I have a spot against the wall all for myself. It's a haven for crappy parkers down there.

Btw, I really hope you get what you want done. Really depends on how hard your shop grinds it out with the adjuster and how much of a prick the adjuster will be.

man, that sucks. Make her pay up!!!

Thank her for the new Nismo bumper and be on your way.

Never hurts for that Nismo bumper. When I had to get my Evo fixed back in the day, my deductible was paid by me ordering a new wheel and carbon fiber hood. So things definitely can be flexible.
