Need some help!

I was recently involved in an accident when an elderly lady (in her 60s) driving a CRV came and hit me while I was making a left turn to enter a shopping mall.

Now she's saying that I hit her while she was at a complete stop. (which is a total bs since I saw her about 40 ft away, coming straight at me without slowing down)

Note that there was a steep incline and as all of you lowered guys know that our cars cannot go over those inclines at a speed faster than 2mph.

I cannot possibly cause this kind of damage while going at that speed. She, however, did not see me and failed to even slow down.

Tell me, in your honest opinion, by looking at the pictures, will her story hold up in court?

Thanks for all your inputs! :tiphat:

no cop report = he said/she said.

^yea usually cali cops don't even file a report unless there are injuries so I didn't even bother calling them. and she was very apologetic when the accident happened. She apologized at least 3 times.

Looking at those photos, how the hell would you hit her while she was stopped? You would have to have been drifting through the turn :ugh:

If you are lawyered up then I think you will be fine. GL though. Stupid bitches :shakes head:

If you don't call the cops, at least call your insurance. My wife was hit by a guy with no insurance. I showed up at the scene a few minutes after it happened. I called my insurance company and had them take his statement over the phone right then and there. Later that night the insurance company called me to tell me that the guy was changing his story saying my wife was at fault. They said not to worry and took care of everything for us :tup:

yah, there's no way a claims adjuster would see that and say you backed into her like that.
i say have your insurance handle this completely with the talks and make sure to note about
her apologizing at least 3x.

like i said in the past, the general public is stupid. :mad:

Who hit what? I was looking at my new wheels :yum:

You should be ok. Who do you have insurance though? And who does she have?

This is the entrance where I was entering while making a left turn.
She was nowhere near the stop sign and I only saw her when almost half of my car was already on the sidewalk.

She is saying she was stopped at the stop sign before I made my left turn. F'ing lie

Now, lowered guys know that we have to cut when entering those inclines and cannot do so when there's a car stopped at that particular stop sign.

Doesn't make sense to do that unless I intentionally try to damage my vehicle...

My lawyer took my full statement today but he is being very cautious and doesn't want to tell me the possible outcome just yet.

I have Liberty Mutual and she has Mercury. At this point, Mercury is refusing to repair my vehicle and taking her word for it.

I was in your wife's situation more than once. So the first person I called was my lawyer, and he contacted my insurance :)

sounds like a sleezy insurance company. i would definitely let liberty mutual handle it. maybe take the other party to court. im sure the lady might fold by then?

So she hit you while she was exiting the mall?

janglez 08-21-2014 02:34 PM

i've been an insurance underwriter for over 10 years...these types of claims suck...my advice at this point is that there are cameras everywhere today...check with the local authorities/businesses to see if there's any footage
