Fortunately no one seriously injured. Suspect he was uninsured. Will find out tomorrow.
At this point it awaits evaluation for damage by adjuster. Car only 4 months old and less than 4000 miles. Aarrgh. Those that have more knowledge than I please offers opinions as to what to push for. Should I expect it will be totaled or repaired? With that force of impact I would imagine structural damage. Thx

Can definitely be fixed! Especially with all the stuff going on now insurance adjusters just did everything through pictures so odds are they'll cough up the money especially on the high msrp. Good luck with everything glad you're okay! Cars can be replaced humans can't! |
100% percent of cars hit can be repaired.
This car should reach total loss by value or frame damage.
That entire frontend is toast |
Just depends on the adjuster to be honest, I've seen a lot worse get fixed. 35k plus damages get repaired with the whole front end smashed so bad you couldn't tell what car it is |

I was pushed so hard that my right hip took out the center console. EMTs cut the driver's door off to extract me. The repair was about $18k on a new car worth $30k, and they would not total it. Everything I thought I knew about what substantiates a total loss was wrong. Fortunately it was leased, and I have only leased since.

Lol!!!!
Ahhhh to be young again...
What flavor kool-aid do they serve at you carrier?
It's a good thing the body shop and the field adjusters grease each other's palms to avoid this type of BS.

Insurance companies are not your friend
