And this is why insurance costs are insane in NJ. If you have an old shitty car just put out your turn signal and cut a driver off then slam on the breaks. Magically you get thousands of dollars plus a paid vacation for all the pain and suffering cause by the other driver failing to maintain control of their car.

I was in a jury where a female doctor had hit another car on the freeway. The defendant was clamining pain and suffering, saying he couldnt sit or stand for prolonged periods of time, he couldnt play with his kids like he used to, etc...
If I recall, he was seeking 30k in pain and suffering. BUT in the 3 days that the hearing lasted, he sat in his chair the whole time, not even trying to look uncomfortable. Only standing up when the jury and judge entered the room.

Yes, the Dr. was at fault, but we as a jury didnt buy it for one second that the dude suffered the pain he claimed. We awarded him only part of the cost of the chiropractor..

Thank you guys for your input. It's up to the CHP and my insurance to figure out whose at fault. I mean, it's an accident. I'm cool with whatever the outcome is. Stuff happens.

But back to my original question... is my car done for???
I took down the videos, I think it kinda veered people away from my original question... :)

I like your attitude! It doesn’t look like a total, but you never know with an insurance company. Keep us updated and good luck!

And

This makes me wonder if you ever even been in a court room before, the officers show up to court. Hell, if this were the case everyone could get all traffic citations dismissed because they are all just hearsay.

You guys kill me. Let me break it down for you. If you recieve an "on view" civil citation such as speed, violating traffic control device or equipment etc. , those are something an officer physically observed and can therefore can testify to what he or she saw. In 25 years I can say that maybe twice I can think of have I ever witnessed a crash in which I had to write the report. 99.9% of the time a crash happens, someone calls 911 and an officer is dispatched. When he gets there he "HEARs" what the people involved "SAY". He didn't actually see crap and in a court of law if you don't see something you are speculating unless you can prove it scientifically or otherwise. Precisely the same way that I can visually estimate speed and then confirm it with a laser speed measuring device. Then when I go to court I back it up with the certification of training and calibration of my equipment. So if you'd like to speculate on whether or not I've ever been in a court room why not put some money on it. That's about as third grade as I can put it .

Oh, and OP.... your car is totaled.... Mine had less damage, but once the airbag pops, the insurance company calls it done....:eek:

Thanks everyone for your input! The adjustor got back to me on Monday, but I couldn’t get to them in time before they left the office for the day. My car is a total loss... I thought it’d be repairable... :( Well, on to the next one :)

From what I've seen, if the rear quarter of a Z is ******, the car is totaled.

But hey, new car.
