Thursday afternoon, I got into an accident with my R32. I was brought by the ambulance to the hospital right after the accident.
I was extremely lucky to walk out of the hospital with nothing but a few scratches, however I'm still suffering from some neck pain.
The bad news is that I'm covered only 1 way on my car.
Here is the incident as I recall.
I was leaving a bank parking lot and desired to turn left. However, there is a traffic light in that exact location that causes quite a bit of traffic on a daily basis. When I initially turned left there were no cars coming on my left or right, so I decided to come out of the parking lot and slowly advance. When I "thought" there were no cars coming towards my direction (going left) I began to turn and then I noticed a car heading towards me and basically T boned my car.
Now, I am probably at fault here because I shouldnt have advanced. However, I have always exited this parking lot for the past 5 or 6 years the same way and never had a problem.
Seeing that I'm only covered one way, I am probably fucked. My cars door is finished as well as the quarter panel. However, after a friend and I checked the car, it looks that the frame is not bent. It seems that my car was low enough that the impact was higher up to the door and quarter only.
I do plan on fixing my car somehow and turning it into a track car next summer. My main concern is if it's any way possible to fight this situation. My main positive out of this situation is that she claimed to have been going 20km's however the damages to my door ( fully bent inwards by roughly 2 feet) have to have resulted in a collision of 60+km/h. The area that this happened in was a school zone. So I'm wondering if there is anyway I can get some kind of money out of this situation. I know there are quite a few police officers on the boards, and I would just like some insight on what to do now.
I tried to get a police report from the saaq today but they told me it will take 2 weeks... What do i do? Any help is appreciated.
