KoHeartsGPA Posted May 28, 2016 Report Share Posted May 28, 2016 And if it wasn't your fault you can get the insurance from him or her to pay for the damages....you might need to lawyer up, pray he or she doesn't have farmers, then you'll need a lawyer for sure unfortunately.... Good luck and keep us posted, brother! Quote Link to comment
Anonymous Waffle Posted May 28, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 28, 2016 So this is how it goes. Apparently from what I was told, there was a school bus making a turn at the intersection of Griffith and North Beale road. I was halfway across the intersection when I got t-boned by a young kid in a mustang. The bus may have been on N Beale and turning into Griffith, and the mustang blew past the bus and t-boned me. There were no skid marks from the mustang, so the other theory could be that the kid was texting and driving. Quote Link to comment
Draker Posted May 28, 2016 Report Share Posted May 28, 2016 Tip #1, don't settle until you've had time to heal to 110%. Sometime accident related injuries pop up long after your scratches and bruises heal. Can you locate that bus driver as a witness? Sounds like you will need a lawyer. You may need to get those phone records. 1 Quote Link to comment
Draker Posted May 28, 2016 Report Share Posted May 28, 2016 Welp, another dime for the keeper it looks like. Probably too tweaked to salvage. Quote Link to comment

Anonymous Waffle Posted May 28, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 28, 2016 You can see the door's 73' thick barrier is wrapped by the door skin. That saved my ass big-time. The mustang would have hit me at around 45-50 from the roads speed limit. Quote Link to comment

racerx Posted May 28, 2016 Report Share Posted May 28, 2016 Main thing is ur okay. Cant put a price on a life or limb. With the experience u gained from the 510 that was t bone, ur nxt one will be better. It was magic how such a young man like you can turn that 510 into a functional and drivable car. And lucky to have a dad thats there helping u along the way. Good luck w finding a new one. 1 Quote Link to comment
Z23T Posted May 28, 2016 Report Share Posted May 28, 2016 Bummer, glad you are OK. Don't be in a hurry to settle with the insurance company. They aren't going to give you what you think is a fair value for your 510, so start gathering adds for 510's to prove to them what the current selling price is for these cars. 1 Quote Link to comment
