I just did a OHHH CRAP! I hit a F150 with my wifes car

<< < (2/5) > >>

I do not thing so.. new pasanger door. new back fender and new back tire he should be fine. his air bags did not go off. seems strange .... he was towed off.  I drove home ... I am considered total wreck. Car drives great but totaled because air bags?

Fordman:
I'm glad you and the oher guy wasnt hurt! Could've been different and makes you re-think the whole driving process (yes, its a process).

I'm guessing the F-150 had to be towed because the tire was blown and possible back axel damage. I'd have mine towed also, just to be sure. Your air bag deployed because you hit him in the side of the truck with your front end. Be glad they deployed! His didnt deploy because he doesnt have side impact airbags.

Is your car totalled because of the airbag deployment? Depends on what state you live in. Most states wont let a car with a deployed airbag be re-registered, but most of the cars in West Virginia and Alabama are piece-meal cars anyway (<--small joke)!

Now lets hope your deductable is low and you can have yours paid off or if it already paid off, get KBB value prior to crash.

This is only a minor inconvience for you and your family. It would be a major inconvience if you had been killed. Your wife will rationally think about how it could have been if you ate the steering wheel vs the air bag deployment.

I hope your in a 'NO FAULT' state and you dont have to go to court. Because by your admission on here, some private eye will find your admission and use it against you.

I wish the best for you, get a hot shower and a hot pad for sleep tonite! Your gonna feel sore in the morning!

On a similar note, I got rear-ended on the way to work this morning.  Luckily it wasn't bad and the only damage is some scratched paint on my bumper, so I told her not to worry about it.  No point in having my insurance go up over something so minor.

ChadTower:

Can they really ding your insurance where you live for getting rear ended?  Everywhere I have lived that's a 100% no fault and you can't get an increase on those.
