Handicaped idiot hit my car, 2 months to the day after purchase Options

Well, I was pulling out of a shopping center onto a major road where you can only make a right. Traffic was light, only two cars comming. One was in the turning lane with his turn signal on preparing to turn into the shopping center I was leaving. Where his lane ended, mine began. He started to make his turn, and the other car had already passed. I began to pull out and next thing I knew, wham... my car is f' ed up.

To sum things up... this guy crossed over a cement barrier and a safety gore and hit me. His explanation to the cop... He realized that he didn't want to make a turn there b/c he was in the wrong place, so he stopped turning, accelerated, and kept going straight, even though his lane failed to exist anymore.

My whole front end needs to be replaced, my radiator came completely off, my left fender needs to be replaced as well as my hood, and then there's the fact that my passenger door won't open any more.

I've had the car two months, and only owe $3700 on it (got it for $6000.75) and just put a stero system in it and a rattler E300 security system. To top things off, I had just gotten the oil changed that same day.

Here's the kicker... my bank has the car valued at $8895... Toyota said it was worth anywhere from $6000-$7200 when I had them appraise it b4 I bought it from another dealer (guy let me take it to them), the blue book value is around $6,900...however, the glorious state of georgie says it's worth $3900...

The insurance companies are saying they might just total the car and give me the $3900... which sucks a** b/c that would leave me with $200 after I pay off what I owe... which is about the cost of the security system after installation. I can salvage the stero system, but now I'm screwed b/c I have to buy another car with no funds to do so.

Damn handicaped old fart....

Yeah man. I got into an accident with my first car...96 Dodge Stratus...not too bad for first car lol...at least it was a stick. But yeah, some guy rammed me and totalled my car. The insurance ocmpany only gave me 2500 for it...really stupid...so I went in for my back pains...not realizing that there actually were problems. I figured better just go in and see if anything is wrong to get a bit more money...well yeah ended up hvaing to get 6 months of physical therapy cuz my back got messed up...didn't even know it. Well...I'm glad you're at least in an OK condition and that you will get some money. Definitely get a lawyer...last year...my stepmom's van got behind...only like 1200 in repair...but she got 5700 in an out of court settlement for medical bills and personal expense/loss. Good luck!
