First of all, I didn't cause the accident, the person trying to beat the traffic making a left turn was at fault. (Witnesses and a police report as well)

Secondly, I suppose it was also my fault that the driver didn't have insurance either, right? And the registered owner doesn't have insurance either, so that's my fault as well?

These are rhetorical questions, don't bother responding.

Thank you Phil and everyone else

Now you need to protect yourself, it is time to get a lawyer, and don't speak to anyone except him about the accident. Rest well.
No lawyers for me, my insurance comp. (Mercury) is handling everything. The driver is a 24 yr. old "kid" with no insurance. I'm sure he doesn't have two cents to rub together....why make his life miserable?

Thanks for the well wishes.

Here's a couple of pictures. The frame was bent so that was their reason for totaling it.

Thanks Temjin. The car was terrific - it really did do it's job and I am so grateful. I'm SO glad that I was in this car and not the Solstice GXP I had before it - who knows what the outcome would have been if that were the case...

On a happier note, we bought a replacement MB over the weekend. An 07' C230. It's red with black interior. It has navigation and only 15k miles on it. It's really pretty - too bad I've haven't been able to drive it yet, but my husband and my entire family said it drives really well LOL.

I'll post pictures of it as soon as I get back home - I'm staying at my parents house 3 to 4 nights out of the week (they're closer to my work, my dad has been driving me)

Sorry to hear of your accident, but also so happy to hear that you'll still be around the forum. The W203 attrition rate lately is saddening. Best Wishes on a fast recovery!

Get Well Soon!

Really? I had an accident with more damage than that and it was repaired. The front sub-frame was toast and the brackets that attach it bent, yet those were straightened and car drove like new.

I was told through our insurance company that since the frame was bent and the estimated damages were 18k that they consider that a total loss.

Glad that your car is ok!

Wendy, sorry to hear about your accident. Best wishes to get better. FWIW, I had Mercury auto insurance for 8 years, and they were great, no issues.
