ok where to start. Last night I was driving home from dinner when a dude in a camaro made a quick left turn right in front of me. I hit the brakes but it was way too close and I slammed into his passenger door at around 35mph. the airbag deployed, probably saving me from a broken nose or worse. instead I opened the door, put on my shoes (I always take my sandals off to drive) and walked away. I pulled out my cell to call 911 when a cop ran over. Apparently he had been doing a speed trap at the intersection in happened and witnessed the whole thing. Here are some pictures, first is the car I hit, next two are mine
I got the hood opened this morning, everything looks ok actually, there is like a 1/2 inch gap between the front of the engine and the radiator/bodywork got pushed back to:
So here is the issue: The guy driving the camaro had no license/insurance/tags on the car. I have full coverage including uninsured drivers. Should/can I take him to court for the repair costs even though my ins. company is still footing the bill? If they total it, which they may considering all the body damage+airbag going off, what then?
Of course this had to happen two days before spring break, during which I had taken 4 days off work to install stuff on the car :-\
