    Looks like you did great, I’m sure all the Medical bills will be taken care of by the Ins Co. That’s a beautiful blue!

    Was there myself a year ago... my daughter was driving down the road and a guy (local middle aged man who drivers there every day) ran a stop sign. She, luckily saw it coming and slammed on her breaks and ended up t-boning him rather then the other way. She ended up breaking her foot in the accident. Of course, I had just bought her a car to take with her to school (not expensive, about $5K) and threw another $1500 in it (tires, belts, etc.) getting it up to shape for her to head off with some semblance of reliability). Car was totaled (and I had to fight and sue to get back what I paid... sigh...). But his insurance company covered everything (albeit with some difficulty, but that's to be expected as I wasn't their client).

    It's no fun at all!! It took over a year after we got rear ended. We found that a good lawyer saved us a lot of money since the party at fault had no medical coverage and nothing worth suing over and we were getting killed on our own deductibles.

    Mayhem must have gave her the right of way?just thinking out loud,glad you are safe may everything work out for you,if you can buy your old car back I have seen worst and put back together but most people do not want the hassel?back in the old days,cars that were totalled some people call them salvage, but in CALIFORNIA salvage could be the car was junk because of back fees and never been in an accident,a wreck car that has been straighten on a frame rack and an experience person might be able to make the car as good as new,most PEOPLE do not have that the time to rebuild a car properly and give rebuilders bad names?just saying.

    at least in NJ you can go through either (no fault insurance state)… the difference is that if you go through your insurance company you'll have to shell out a deductible, which the insurance company *may* be able to get back for you. If you go through the other persons insurance company they will first make a declaration of fault and then pay you based on the percentage they're person is at fault, which in this case should be 100%... just don't do silly things like say you were going 1 mile over the speed limit as then they'll assign you a percentage of fault and deduct money from the payment.

    that said, insurance differs in every state... sigh...

    Oh, NO. Glad you are OK, but sorry to hear about your car. I know hitting a deer can do a major damage. My daughter's car was totaled.

    I'm glad you are OK and hope your Prime is back on the road soon.

    Deer kill more humans than any other animal (because of car impacts).

    True for the US. They scare the crap out of me at night in some parts of the country. Worldwide, though, the mosquito is the #1 killer.

    the earliest I can get the car in for repairs is August 27th and they're going to have the car for three weeks, I'm going to see if Suburban Toyota of Troy Michigan still has that red prime for rent.
