Default got hit today..

well as the title says i got hit today in the Vette. Some ******* in a dump truck decided i needed a little help around the corner at a red light. i saw him stop really close to the back of my car and i was watching him in the mirror i looked forward for a split second to see if anymore cars where making the left turn coming towards us and i felt him hit me. then as three cars are still turning our light turns green and he decideds to let the clutch out and hit the gas. Needless to say i was still in front of him not able to move out of the way or avoid him cause the other cars still turning. then he has the nerve to tell the cops that i rolled back into him i said **** you my car is an Automatic and not a stick so there is no way in hell your trying to pin this on me. all the blame and fault is on you.and he told the cops he didn't see me and thought he hit the curb thats why he kept going. i was so pissed off but now finally cooling down. busted my *** for 6 years and finally get the car i've always wanted and three weeks later this **** happens go figure. Not alot of damage cause he wasn't going that fast but def. going to need a new rear quarter panel,the whole bumper replaced. anyways sorry for the long post just had to rant. here are some pics.

You can get the case/court number of the ticket issued. The offical accident report will reference that number. Most insurance companies will allow that to be use to get the ball rolling until the offical accident report is ready.

that would help but the cop didn't give the truck driver a ticket he filled some stuff out in his car gave us both our info back and told us when the report would be ready and the cops did note the he said he was at fault and responsable so now i more then likely have to wait a week for the report

Wow, That is amazing! In Colorado if there is an accident with someone at fault, they at least get a Careless Driving ticket.

u should sue the **** outta his company that he drives for and get a c6z06 lol especially if ur back hurts...i would get documentation via a hospital if there really is somthin wrong with you...not sure what time period is legit for injury complaint after an auto accident but most people who are extremely intent on sueing will come outta their cars holding the back of thier necks but i believe because of the composition of your car and the seat placement being so far back u might be able to have a lawsuit against the company...i would def look into it

Great advice. America - home of the gold diggers. If somebody causes you a financial or physical loss, by all means they should correct it. But to encourage people to try to get rich off an accident is ignorant. You my friend are a part of the gold digging attitude that is raising insurance premiums, shutting down Mom & Pop organizations, and making crooked lawyers filthy rich.
