Rear ended
#26
It doesn't matter to me if the insurance company doesn't pursue her. I am not interested in punishing her, I just wan't my car fixed. Hopefully her own damage, which will not be covered by her insurance, will help to change her behavior. Hard to say, she was 18 so will it result in lasting behavior modification, I doubt it, but we can hope.
I rear ended another driver when I was 17, haven't had another wreck since.
Her brother was offering to pay for the repairs He clearly had no idea what the cost was, he was probably only 25 and was wearing a uniform from a retail sales chain. I think I can get the deductible from him with out much drama, I plan on calling him tomorrow.

Okay, I get it, thanks for the information. I will try to get the deductible without a claim. If I have to file a claim, I will try to go for DV as well.
I appreciate the input.

Here are some pics of the car stripped of damaged pieces. The total repair will be around 17K.

Please keep us posted with how the repairs progress and turn out. Did they also remove your side skirts too? I can't tell if they did or not in the second picture?

Real sad to see it like that. I was rear ended twice in my S550e in NYC, both times were cabs. The damages both were light but still over $12k each. It's really a bad situation to be in... Hope to see her up and running soon.

Thanks Everyone
The side skirts are intact. I have the shop looking up black series parts. Soon I will see if it's feasible.
