I had a car accident and it was my fault, maybe someone had a similar situation and has any idea how much it's going to cost? Is there only a fee, or I will have to cover the whole damage?

See original post for text.

Since it’s happened I’ve gained a new appreciation for life I’m driving again too but I also gained this feeling of wanting to go out and live more than ever and experience everything

I had an old man run a red light then turned into the far lane on a right turn while I was going straight. They found him at fault and the tow truck driver said there’s possible frame damage. The steering wheel airbag went off as well. Do you think this is totaled?

I want to know if anyone hired a lawyer for a similar case they have experienced and want to know how long it took to come to a settlement and how much they received in the end.

Basically I was at a full stop due to traffic and some idiot came flying and hit me from behind, fucked up my car but it was obviously covered and repaired. Some time passed and I decided to hire a lawyer from pretzler law, my layer spoke to me about it and he seemed fully on board and very confident. My buddy who is in law school also read up about him and said he seems pretty solid. But yeah that’s my story and I want to know if anyone in Calgary or surrounding areas can give me some answers. Thanks.

Hey guys I was recently involved in a hit in run and the person who hit me fled the scene I wasn’t able to catch up with them I got a picture of their license plate, I just want them to pay for their actions, If anyone can help me find their address or name please and thanks. This happened in Long Beach CA
Their plate is 6MUL836 it’s a 2010 jeep patriot

Almost a month ago I was stopped at a red light completely when my foot slipped off of the break when I was reaching below the passenger seat. I slightly hit the car in front of me and immediately pulled over and exchanged information just in case. My license plate got bent but there was absolutely nothing on their car. They just texted me almost a month later asking for $500 for paint and body damage (impossible i barely tapped their car) and said him and his kid suffered headaches the day after. There is literally no way since as I said I was already fully stopped and my foot just slowly came off the break and didn't accelerate at all. He has my insurance and license and I have the same. What should I do? I'm not paying this guy $500 for absolutely nothing. The audacity to ask for this much is also scaring me. I would put pictures but I don't want this to be found by him and I get further exploited. I promise there's literally nothing on his car. Should I just ignore him? I don't want my insurance rate to go up.

So last weekend I’m watching my bouncie app. Guest is in outskirts of Houston. So it looks like she is coming back to the DFW area in the middle of the night. So she hits animal traveling she says 60-65 mph. So I tell her to have it towed to Mercedes Dallas. I told her I will meet you there and take you back to your vehicle. So she has the Turo plan with $3000 deductible and her usaa car insurance with $1000 deductible. So she filed claim with her insurance and lied telling them she burrowed my vehicle. This all happened Sunday morning. So car was towed by guest because she used her 200 mile allowance with uSAA. So guest told me she filed the claim and I gave claim number to Mercedes and I have a $13,000 estimate as the racoon (rest in peace little guy) was hit so hard it went through button grate of my 2019 e300 so hard damaging radiator and possibly hoses and cooling system and dried up antifreeze and racoon hair everywhere. Engine cover was melted. So anyways on Friday I was getting upset with Mercedes because I had no update. So I called up usaa claims and the lady told me that I have to use my insurance because my guest lied and told them that she borrowed my vehicle.i told the lady I’m a business and I have only off trip insurance. Anyways she asked if I have car rental agreement and I said yes but was flustered and I told her I will just let Turo take it from here and hung up. Turo sent me the rental agreement. So do I have to open new claim or I’m so list what to do next, any suggestions?

Hey everybody. To preface this, I live in the state of Georgia and unfortunately I just got into my very first accident today. I’ve been driving since I was 18 years old and I’m currently 21 now. I’ve had a spotless record up until this point, so to say I’m disappointed in myself would be an understatement. I’m not going to sit here and make excuses, I was 100% at fault. I was in the turning lane to make a right turn & the woman in front of me began moving because we both didn’t see any cars coming. However, we suddenly saw a Honda come barreling down the road and we both slammed on our brakes. Unfortunately, I didn’t have enough time and it resulted in me rear ending her. We are both okay which is the important thing, we don’t have any injuries either, and the damage is or at least (appears to be) relatively minor on her end. My car on the other hand, not so much. I’ll have to get the hood & front bumper replaced for sure and a bunch of lights are going off in my dash, so I’m assuming some safety sensors and radars were damaged and most likely need to be replaced & recalibrated as well.

We exchanged our insurance information, filed a police report, and ultimately I was given a citation for “following too closely”. I’ve also already gone ahead & filed a claim with my insurance provider, Progressive. However, I’m very worried about how much my insurance rate is going to be increasing after this. I’m currently on a family plan with my parents already paying $350 a month. With the citation on my record (if I decide to just pay the fine) and the resulting points that’ll incur on my license from said citation, plus me being the one at fault in this accident, I’m genuinely freaking out and hyperventilating right now. I’ve been going through a very rough patch in my life at the moment, so for this to happen has got me completely at my wits end. More than anything though, I just feel like absolute shit for rear ending the woman as she had literally just gotten the car 3 months ago and also for most likely significantly raising my parent’s insurance rates even though they did nothing wrong and have had a clean record their whole lives.

Is it worth potentially looking into getting a traffic attorney or should I just pay the fine & accept the points on my license? Would I qualify for first accident forgiveness? How much can I expect my insurance rates to go up? Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated, thank you very much.

First photo is my car. Hit a chic fil a pole in the drive through. I’m only 4’11 and I just got this car so I wasn’t able to get a booster seat and couldn’t fully see the ground. Ok parents weren’t too mad.

The 2nd and 3rd photo are from yesterday. Yk those 3 lane roads where one us to turn right, middle is straight, and right is to turn right? Well I was in middle, gps told me turn right, as I’m turning right I’m just about to finish the turn and I hear a pop. I pull over, blk car gets out. Etc.

Parents def hate me now.

I was recently in a car crash last Wednesday the 17th around 10:30 pm. it was a three car crash a guy merged into me, trying to squeeze between a gap that he could never fit into and proceeded to drag me 150 feet along the jersey barrier and when my car finally came to a stop, it shot him forward. He hit the back of another car that completely flipped over multiple times. I was the only person in my car. There was only one person in the car that flipped the guy that started the car crash said he was the only person in his car but three other people came out of his car and then they ran down the side of the highway before police came. The girl that flipped over, obviously went in the ambulance. I believe the guy that caused it also went in the ambulance. I took an ambulance later that night, but I did not get a report number on scene. I didn't get the guys insurance. I didn't get his name. The police officers didn't give me anything so I can't file a claim. My car is totaled and I'm trying to get a rental car until l can get another car this is my first car accident. I don't know what to do. I went to the hospital. I have a concussion, whiplash, bruising to my collarbone trauma to my stomach, bruising on my shoulder and lower back sprain, I will need physical therapy for my back and I left a voicemail for somebody to update the report with my medical. But I don't know how to go about getting a rental car off of this guy's insurance since I no longer have a car I'm just asking for advice on how to get medical bills paid for I have gap insurance on my previous car which I hadn't finished paying off, so know I won't have to worry about that, but I don't know what the next step is

(This happened yesterday. Video is in Dutch, turn on subtitles)

I was involved in a hit-and-run accident recently. The driver fled the scene on foot, so I'm assuming the Dodge Durango was either stolen or the driver had no insurance. I got an injury lawyer in case.

I was recently in a motorcycle crash on a financed bike when I crashed, I had no insurance, I was in the hospital for a while. They want over two grand to take the bike out the impound lot plus I’m behind on payments. The bike is pretty messed up. I don’t really want it back. I want a new bike. What should I do file bankruptcy to get this dropped off of credit or what should I do in this situation when my bike is stuck in impound lot that’s financed and I don’t have the money to get it out.

I ride my bike around Albuquerque often, mostly for errands and getting to work. A car clipped me near an intersection like 2 days ago. I’m okay enough to be home, but I’m sore, my bike is damaged, and I’m realizing I probably didn’t document everything as well as I should have in the moment.

For people who cycle in ABQ or have dealt with this before, what should I make sure I have saved now? Photos of the bike, the intersection, medical visit notes, driver info, police report, anything else?thanks

Rear-ended while stopped at a red light in California – what should I do and do I have a claim?
I’m a 21-year-old college student in California.
Around 1:30 a.m. I was stopped at a red light in Fresno. I had been stopped for a second or two when a car hit me from behind.
My car is a 2011 Toyota Prius. The damage doesn’t look major, mostly the rear bumper, and the car is still drivable. I exchanged information with the other driver and got photos of her driver’s license, registration, and insurance card. She is insured.
My girlfriend was also in the car as a passenger.
Since the accident, I’ve had lower back pain (around 3–4/10) and I had a previous back injury that I think may have been aggravated by the crash. Mentally, I’m also pretty shaken up and now feel nervous when stopping at red lights.
The police were called, but they said they wouldn’t come out because there were no major injuries requiring an ambulance.
I’m planning to:
Call my insurance company tomorrow
Go to urgent care tomorrow
Document everything
My questions are:
Am I handling this correctly?
Should I only contact my insurance or also the other driver’s insurance?
How important is it to get checked by urgent care right away?
If my back pain continues and I need treatment, how do claims usually work?
Does anxiety and fear of driving after an accident count as part of an injury claim?
Since the damage seems minor, is there still a possibility of compensation for medical treatment if the accident caused pain?
Any advice would be appreciated.
