Sorry about your accident.

So where was the actual question in here?

 

my bad im still **** off at the other guy insurance...since its 2 different accident can they count it as 1 and total my car....both guy have the same insurance company and they appraise the car at one time

 

This is all dependent on the insurance company who will be cutting the check. If the total cost in damage exceeds a determined % of the over all value of the car (which is up to the insurer) they will indeed write it off as a total loss. Call the insurer to find out that percentage threshold.

 

yea i agree most insurance have like a 50 or 60 % of how much the car worth before they total out the car...the front was less then 4500 to fix....and i know my R is at least worth 12k easy...

 

Sorry 2 hear
Looked like a clean ride though

the ford center cap got stuck between my tire and fender crazy huh?

 

Wow that sucks man.

 

sorry to see man, it looked like a very nice r

 

i feel your pain hope everything works out ok

 

dude i would not let them try to screw you over with your car even if you have to pay out of pocket it looks very fixable, i would not fret

 

get an attorney he should give you an answer I personally think it is fixable , I dont see any frame damage.

well there a lil bit of frame damage from the driver side fender not serious though i think i can pull that out myself....

 

It's obvious it's fixable but yeah from an insurance stand point it is totaled. I hope you can but it back!

 

both accident was there clients fault, and my allstate said that it wasn't possible for them to total it out... cause they took so long to come appraise the first accident we had to pay our adjuster 500 deductible to look at the corner panel which came up to 2300 and right now we are paying the same adjuster to come out and look at the front end for another 500 deductible...and we already got a lawyer we sueing the other insurance for pain and sufffering from the accident,value of my car,1000 deductible, and missing work because they wouldn't do nothing unless we had the police report...i mean the car is still drivable but the alignment went str8 to the left after the 2nd accident and the fender scrap the **** out of the tire...and when it come to steering the car you can make a full turn to the left and about 25% to the right before it stop.

 

this is my other car that im driving around my wife was driving the R around

 

Insurance comapnys can be talked to, if you fight it, and don't let up they'll go your way, especially with you sueing them. They're going to want to make you happy. Good luck, your car is making me think about black.

 

never give in to them. if you can show proof the car is worth more do it from multiple sources (camax, autotrader, etc) then get them to bump up the value. tha can save you from a total loss or it can help you recover more money in the end. they are trying to save money on their end just as you should be trying to get as much back as you can.

 

I'd be so pissed. Sorry man

 

Sorry bout thu situation bro. Hope all goes well with your case. Ohh and what kind of exhaust is on the R looks like Apexi N1?? THanx again bro and the best of luck.

 

The damage looks to be (not easy) but fixable. Sucks that this had to happen, All I can say is that if you fight it and things start to not look your way fight harder. You will get what you deserve. I remember when I was a youngster and I had run in with insurance, till this I day I never back down. Get your money so you can move on.
