Celica Forums General Discussion General Poor Celica never had a shot

wow that reminds me of my car when it was hit

good luck to you, it all be all right

to hell with that man i'd come back in a year, find that stupid whore and her SUV and knock the living shit out of her. Someone ruins my car they are gonna pay.

What did the driver have to say? Fourtnely ived been in only one small, small acicdent. The guy ended up paying for a new paint job of my bumper. But i have had a lady w/a suv run me off the road. I swear every person i have to honk my horn and or dodge is a female.

hmm. girls are good drivers in suv's as long as they know how big they are and how to handle them.

yeah, and guys are good drivers in big girls as long as they know how big they are and how to handle them.

SUV's suck!!

sorry to hear about your ride dood! Go to the doctor and get checked out! some people just can't drive

yea i'm wondering whta the girls reaction was too

As far as a lawsuit... I'm considering it. I'm about to go to the ER to get checked out, since my doctor is out for the day already. Everyone already knows my seatbelt was off. Besides, if I do go through with it, I don't want to fudge anything. Frivolous or embellished lawsuits aren't something I could partake in. If me having my seatbelt off was partly responsible for an injury, that's just how it'll go.

I got an initial estimate today. The body damage along is $6k. If there is any structural damage, that'll easily double.

The part that REALLY pisses me off is what this'll do to the resale value.

Rev, they will tear you apart for your seatbelt being off, since it's against the law your own insurance might be hesistent about paying you for medical fees even..

Why'd you have it off man? why?

Sue for the resale value

It was stupid, I know. But really, I only wear it about half the time. I've been into enough accidents without one, it doesn't occur to me that they are so important anymore (yes I know they are).

I really have NO clue whats happening right now with everything. We'll just have to see.

sorry to hear that man. i know how it feels. thank god you are ok. everything can be replaced other than your health. i 'll keep you in my prayers . it will be totalled i guarantee you

Not sure what his seat belt has to do with anything. I know of several cases who won law suits when their belts were off.

My friend actually had to pay up for medical fees fot hitting somebody in his neighborhood (snow was out) the other guy was speeding but my friend lossed control. None of them had their seat belt on and one of them hit the windshield. Friend was found responcible and had to pay.

Uhh mike, it's a little illegal in california, and has been for years? Like someone else says, they can easily say he was being negligent and should have to pay his own medical fees and wouldn't have gotten slammed forward and pinched a nerve if he had his seltbelt on (this is probably true)

And we've all heard of criminals sueing after they break their leg while breaking into a house, stealing stuff, and win. But it usually doesn't happen; and if he wasn't wearing his seat belt, he's at a huge disadvantage already

Go to a good lawyer, let him hook you up with a doctor, and sue that bitches ass back to the stone age. Who the hell does she think she is? Take her & take her big.

Rev, yeah don't make anything up. But DO get even, legally of course. Do what shidarin says and sue for the resale value. I'm still thinking about the national "Watch your SUe-V" campaign I suggested.

SUe-V Coalition
We Sue careless SUV drivers

or SUV: Are you drivng a "SUe-Vehicle"

How viable is this? Any other slogans? Anybody?
Maybe we can pass laws that where the SUV driver was careless, she (or he) will get her license revoked, permanently.

He still hasn't said what the driver said as she got out etc..

QTR, not very viable. You can't sue for no reason.. we'd just drown in legal fees.

She didn't say much. She didn't seem very phased by it, but did appologize quite a few times. I think all of us were just a little shaken up and didn't really know what to say.

Come on bro. You made it sound 10x worse yesterday when you were telling me in the chatroom. Its just the backend. Pound it out with a hammer. J/K. Glad you could drag your not wounded ass back online, imo.

Celi got its wagon fixed. You're still alright, I assume?

If only they could handle their vehicle as well as they handle the c---

hahaha!

Who said no reason? The campaign is to WARN SUV drivers that if they handle their tanks negligently and cause damage to other people's property and harm the health of another, they will be sued. You call that no reason? Ok, you can obviously already see there is a reason, but I will still address your question of "legal fees." Haven't you heard of lawyers getting paid on a contingency basis for those seeking justice or haven't you heard of Prepaid Legal for those that need defense, or haven't you heard of regular car liability or collision insurance which pays for legal fees? Sure you have. I am in no way suggesting frivolous lawsuits. I am seeking to warn SUV drivers of the legitimate ones they will face if they harm other people.

, glad ur okay john

just really glad your okay jon...

shit... glad you are ok. hopefully everything works out for you. wear you seat belt

that sux.. i got hit by an suv..it wasn't as bad as yours tho... sorry to hear about that man

lol


-------------------------------

good luck w/ it man

i know man... lately ive been gettin a lot of dents on my doors...

those freakin parkin spaces are super small.. and then some people dont have respect for someone elses car

mini update

Got an estimate yesterday. They THINK the frame is okay, but they aren't sure until the pull the wrecked body parts off. If it's just body damage, they quoted me $6k. I'll talk to the adjuster today and get my car into the shop this afternoon (I hope).

More importantly I talked to my Dad last night about what we're doing with the car. He agrees that we should sell it ASAP once it's fixed. Sooo... I'm going to put it up for sale private party when I get it back, and start looking at a manual (yay finally!) Celi with less miles (maybe new?) or a lightly used S2k.

S2k! S2k!!!!!!


although they're more expensive..

If your frame is messed up, you can probably get a totaled status.
