Prepare to get a "Total Loss" settlement...Bummer

Yeah, that rocker tells the story. Thing's gonna be totaled. I'd claim it, get monies, and buy the car back.

[Jesse30]

claim it...and let them know it was parked, case number and everything or go to court...either way he'll be charged with hit and run and any damage...since it was a parked car the insurance will claim it..and he'll end up paying for the damage....

Are you saying that the officers mistake excuses you from a DUI?

My car was hit by a girl that was very drunk leaving a bar one night. I knocked on her window had her pull over. Some family members that had begged her not to drive came over and we spoke. Her insurance covered it no questions asked. Of course the cops were not called.

part that shit out

Of course the insurance covers it. Liability is required and it has no exemptions. Comprehensive might.

The only reason you should not be covered is if he had no insurance, then its whether or not you have full coverage including uninsured motorist coverage. If neither then you will have to sue.

Here's my little story. A few years ago, while returning from a journey around the South West in my Hartge H23, I got hit in Ohio on the highway by a rolling wheel, lost by a trailer. I managed to find the pick-up and trailer, parked on the shoulder, and to get the attention from a highway patrol car. Cops issued a report and I made ample pictures of the missing wheel on the trailer as well as the sheared hub, and the damages to my car.

When I returned home in Montreal, I called the other driver's insurance explaining the whole incident and asking if they wanted my attorney to contact their's in order to settle the situation (I was actually bluffing as I didn't really know what the outcome would be). The insurer told me it was not necessary to go that far as everything clearly pointed at their client's fault. I only had to send them the olice report, pictures and an estimate from a repair shop to fix the car and they would send me a check. No question asked. No proof of repair needed.

I guess it is about the same scenario for the OP's ;-)

Get a complete police report. This is 100% the other guy's fault. A cop saw the whole incident and the driver was drunk. Make a claim to his insurance. Should be an easy case.

Exactly...

That sucks it damaged the rocker

[decay]

police officers are not lawyers. don't take his word to mean anything.

pursue things with the other guy's insurance company first; they are financially liable whether or not he was drunk.

sorry to hear of your misfortune.

Luckily the damage is mostly on the door so it is mostly getting a new door, but that dent under the door is a whole different story, that is going to be very difficult to repair so i would try to squeeze as much money out of the asshole that hit you so you can take it to a proper repair facility and get it repaired.

One thing to note is if you think that the insurance company is thinking about totaling the car find a bunch of ads of really nice e30s that are being sold, like for example ones that have been fully restored to showroom stock, and send it to your insurance agent and that will probably help in the decision on the value of the car.

Report it to your insurance and go from there if you are willing to risk them totalling it.

Remember, you can usually buy the car back from an insurance company and rebuild it, but it will get a salvage title.
