Glad you are ok.
She is at fault, not you.
You handled the situation well, you are wise beyond your years young brethren.

thanks
UPDATE:
I get $3,500 for my car coming from insurance/the person that hit me. I want another similar car to what I had. I hate little ass cars that rock you arounds everytime you hit a bump.
My first car was a tank of a car!! My dad made me buy a 1967 Buick Skylark and I had to pay for it! But it was a pretty cool car. I had a massive v-8 so powerful the car rumbled from side to side when I turned it on (that isn’t the safe part) but it also had actual bumpers! Not just the flexy plastic nothings that cars these days have. I don’t even really see bumpers on cars, we need bumpers back. Also my car was real steel, real metal and if someone had hit me I would have been fine.
With these one piece back and front ends a fender bender costs 2k at least.
I want bumpers back

Well, I wasn’t sure if I wanted to post this or not, but I may as well. I was in a car accident today. There were BAD storms here today. Driving home after they cleared up a bit, I ran through a massive puddle, and my engine stalled out. Cars just passed me on either side while I waited for my parents to show up. I left my car/lights on but not my emergancy lights. About 15 minutes later I get hit from behind. I’m totally fine. I jump out of my car and the woman who hit me is nearly crying and screaming how sorry she is, and how she didn’t see me, how her brakes didn’t work fast enough etc.
Never mind you I’ve been sitting here on a straight road with dozens of cars passing me for quite a while already. I calmed her down a bit checked out her lip which was bleeding, and got her a tissue from my car. I asked her if her kids where alright, becuase she seemed to have forgot about them. I said a few things to them about how it was going to be ok, and that no one got hurt, everything is fine. Just trying to be nice in general, knowing I may as well because my dad is going to kill me when he sees this.
Anyways: Am I going to be at fauly or is she. I obviously had no way of avoiding the collision. She clearly wasn’t watching the road and while she seemed nice I don’t see how this would of happened unless she was going 40+ on slippery road or simply wasn’t paying attention. I’m out of a car for a while, have to walk to work, and am reliant on my parents again. I’m hoping at least it isn’t my fault in the courts. My back end was destroyed.
I heard that if you get hit from behind it can’t be your fault, referencing a story about how a guy slid down a hill when he let go of the break and hit a guys car, and the court said the guy was too closely behind him and the guy who slid back won. I’m kind of rambling becuase my first fucking car is wrecked and it’s because someone ran into me while I was parked…[/quote]
Totally sounds like your in the clear and in terms of liability Her > You. Now if she was on the cell phone which was the cause of the accident, thats when you get out of your car and brutally flex your mad ninja skills and KAPOWWW!!! the bitch. Just like what Chuck Norris would do.

Did you later drive through Alabama, steal a can of tuna, and get falsely arrested for murder?

Only thing left is to find out how much my eagle vision was worth. Depending on trim bluebook says 4-5 grand. It only had 55000 miles. Everything was perfect abnut it.[/quote]
dosent mater how perfect it is.
I had an 89 prelude that was prestine and I mean it was show quality but it still was only 3g
the insurance will go off the trade in value to see if its totaled or not
and its very easy to run up 4g of body damage.
I suspect also that your engine is hydrolocked and that will have to be taken care of so add another 500 to the repair costs. well I would charge 500 for water repair.if the engine dosent needa rebuild.
next time if you stall in a puddle DO not try and turn the car over again you are might be sucking more water into the intake instead get it out the water somehow.because if you suck water into the engine,water dosent compress like air and fuel and that causes damage to piston skirts,wrist pins,connecting rods,head gaskets blow off,heads may crack,jurnals get cracks in them,rings etch the walls of the cylenders because theres no oil. all kind of stuff can happen causeing costly repairs. but if the engine dies leave it untill you can safely blow the water out through the sparkplug hole and hopefully you can save tha tfrom happening.
now this stuff dosent happen all the time but it certinaly can happen
but also remember this
1 foot of moving water can take a car down stream with it.
im sure thats not only a fact in AZ with the flash floods and stuff.

Yeah, I want another sedan. I’m going to baby the hell out the next car I get. All of the dealerships here only have cars that are like 100,000+ miles on them though. WHich is a pretty big step down from my 55,000 car.
