i sold a car but left my plates on it, no insurance and someone got into accident. who has to pay the fines

galicias07 — Sun, 06 Jan 2008 08:04:27 GMT

I sold my 96 jeep cherokee to a person who moved to Mexico. He bought 2 jeeps from me. He took the 1st one in Novemeber and wanted the 2nd one to be shipped down in Jan. I left the plates on it and parked the car at his nephews house, someone got a hold of the keys and got into an accident. When I sold him the car and moved it to private property, I cancelled the insurance as of 12/5/07, and the accident happened on 12/23/07. I got a ticket for no insurance, I have the title showing it was sold, who will get the license suspension and fines?>

Accident with NO Insurance

galicias07 — Mon, 07 Jan 2008 10:20:27 GMT

Mr shiftright... I sold the car to someone who moved to Mexico in Nov. The car was then moved to his nephews residence (private property parking lot). The nephew held onto the title because someone was coming on 1/5/08 to take the car to Mexico. The nephews wife, gave me the title back, because the police towed the vehicle. I live in Long Branch, NJ.. The plates were left on the car, because since it was going out of the country, new plates couldn't be issued to the new owner...and if the car was seen with no plates, it gets towed and I am responsible for the fees (so I was told).... No one had permission to drive the car, it was only to be moved from the driveway to the car trailer for transport.

What are my rights legally when I was hit by a 16 year old that did not have insurance or a license?

etexborn22 — Sun, 07 Sep 2008 19:00:50 GMT

I bought a car 10 days ago, and had not had the insurance transferred from the car that I traded. I was hit by a 16 year old, that had no license and no insurance. His parents say they will pay for everything. What if they don

Should I report an accident with no discernible damage?

T_Man — Fri, 23 Jan 2009 20:08:44 GMT

Car in front of me started turning right at an intersection. Stopped halfway through for no reason. I was behind her, not expecting her to stop so I rear-ended her car. I was going under 5 mph. We pulled over and looked at both bumpers. There was no discernible damage (I took photos). She agreed it was not dented but then said somebody else had recently hit her so she wanted money to have her bumper painted. Because I thought she was trying to scam me, I did not admit fault but said I wanted this to go through insurance. Any ideas on how to report this?

Does anyone know a way to retain driver's info in an accident?

vickshan — Wed, 25 Feb 2009 17:29:17 GMT

folks,
I was on my way to work in sugarland,tx in a 09 camry.
I was driving in dairy ashford road at 45mph.
suddenly one lady in a black suv pulled over from on of the perpendicular neighbourhood road.
She overlooked me in the road and just stopped in front of me.
I had two options :
either hit her or avoid a collision.
I swevered my car all the way to left, overrunning the median to another opposite oncoming traffic.Luckily since it was red no traffic wasnt there.
Due to this My front right side tires were torn off and wheels was bent .
I had to park to nearby parking lane.
Ok I acted smart in avoiding humans.
But due to shock I even didnt copy the ladies cell phone or insurance details.
I was soo stupid !
Even there was no complaint to cops and let the lady go.
I had to shell out 740$ for the repairs.
Is there anyway I can get the information on the lady?
I guess she might have called 911 or someone?
I called my insurance and they say since my deductile is 500$ I will get jus 240$. Also the record would be there for another 5yrs.
Which I feel its not a good idea.
Can anybody help me?

Are there any multiple quote obligations for a non-insured crash?

mattnusa — Wed, 13 May 2009 20:01:08 GMT

My wife has no insurance & ran into the back of someone.

The damage was by no means extensive but the quote for the damage is. What is the legality in any obligation for the third party to attain more than one quote?
cheers

A 7days old yaris w/ a 3000 down payment got totaled. Do I need to pay for the difference?

amei_leyretana — Tue, 08 Jan 2008 04:13:18 GMT

Hi! I need your advice. I bought a new car last november. After 7 days, my sister and I got into an accident. Our insurance coverage is 100/300/100 and I was under my dads insurance. I already paid the deductible and the premium balance for 6months already. The car was declared as total wreck. Now, my dad is asking me for another 2400 for the difference. Is there such thing as difference? He’s telling me that I need to pay this amount to the insurance. Actually, a lot of people is telling me that there’s something fishy going on. Im not the one who holds the policy thats why when I called the insurance they’re not entertaining my questions that much even though I’m the one who’s paying them and involved in the accident. Are they really like that? The only thing that i asked them is if I owe the insurance a certain amount (which is the difference that my dad is talking about) and they told me that I dont need to pay anything anymore. Instead I’m going to recieve a claim but my dad didn’t mention it to me. The difference that he is talking about is THE ORIGINAL VALUE of the CAR- THE DEPRECIATED/ ACTUAL/ PRESENT VALUE OF THE CAR AFTER 7DAYS. Get it? (Example the toyota yaris original value is 14000- 12000 which is the depreciated value and the evaluated value by the insurance= 2000 which is the difference) Please.. I need your advice as soon as possible. Is it true?? I dont know what to believe now. Please email me or something. Thanks so much.

How do I go about filing a Dimunitive value claim? The other party is in the wrong.

nana13 — Fri, 16 May 2008 15:47:01 GMT

My suv was wrecked and will be repaired. The other party is responsible for the accident. We both have State Farm. I want to be compensated for the loss in value when I go to sell the car in the next few years. I am afraid the car will lose more of its value since the front end will be repaired.

How is the diminished value determined in a newer automobile (2004) after damage, repairs for a trade-in, etc.,?

mikebuc — Tue, 27 May 2008 11:51:59 GMT

Progressive Ins. Co. wants documentation before it will reimburse me for diminished value. What's up with that? How do I find documentation? MJB

Is there a website that shows various vehicle bumpers so I can identify a piece left in my car in a hit & run?

sharonlpk — Thu, 26 Jun 2008 19:17:35 GMT

A piece of black plastic bumper was found hanging from my left rear light when I came out of work. Another piece that 'connects' was also found by my van. It looks like the flat 'top' of the bumper (which was stuck in the rear light) is 1-1/2 inches wide; the piece it connects to has rounded edges 5-1/2 inches apart (width), but I cannot tell how long this piece/the bumper is. Hard to describe...!

This definitely had to have been a higher vehicle, for example SUV or truck, based on the damage to my van's left rear side.

Being able to put these bumper pieces together, I am pretty sure I would recognize it if I saw it, which is why I'm wondering: what is the best reference for this sort of identification ? Thanks in advance!

Mobile home hit by Lowe's truck, any advise?

jmez — Sat, 28 Jun 2008 16:48:02 GMT

I need advise, please
Our RV was parked on our cul-de-suc street near by our house, when Lowes truck had delivery and was trying to make turn and hit (twice) our mobilhome, wanted to leave without notice, but our neighbour saw and told him, that he better leave a note, which he did then. We notice it in the evening, so next day we tried to start a car, but wheel locked, betteries went down and generator dont work, and our right tire did a mark on the curb, which is explaines that car was moving pretty "good". Long story short, our agent from insurance saw only outside hit, which is very close to gas tank and wanted to just a fix and close the case, but we are afraid to stick with the same car, because who knows whats inside of this RV went wrong, I want to mention this car 1 yr old and we are paying good money for it. Does any body has advise for us what to do? should we call a lawer?

My parked car got rear-ended. How much damage was done?

intakegra — Sat, 06 Sep 2008 00:30:39 GMT

My compact sedan was parked in a lot and some lady backed into it. I wasn't in the car at the time. Evidently she never saw my car and had her foot on the gas, so she accelerated her SUV into my bumper. In addition to a cracked and displaced bumper, I'm concerned my car may have suffered additional damage to other components.

I had the parking brake on and the car couldn't roll, so the force of the impact may have transferred stress to other areas like the transmission, brakes, suspension etc. I noticed my car makes a grinding noise when turning and it never did that before. Can anyone with knowledge about cars gimme some advice? What other kind of damage can be done to your car it gets hit while parked? I want to get the insurance to cover these potential repairs. Thanks again.

Losing sown payment on leased car in a crash. Why?

jdl300 — Tue, 23 Sep 2008 14:08:26 GMT

I noticed some people say one shouldn't put down large down payments when leasing a car. Even trade car in for another leased car because they might/could lose the down payment if the car is totaled

why is that?

if the car is insured for 100% of the market/msrp value

My friend he only buy liability (the cheapest/least coverages) insurance. I was his passenger at the time he/we involved a car accident. do i need to report to my own auto insurance for claimming medical expenses? or he should report to his auto insurance to cover my medical expenses? who should pay for my medical expenses?

Ps. He was the driver and car owner at the time the accident happened.

How do I find out what the diminished value is on my car after I was in an accident?

kmulha4 — Sun, 23 Nov 2008 13:09:42 GMT

My car was in almost perfect condition and had only been to the dealership for maintenance. I had a driver hit me from behind and do a good deal of damage to my car, including some frame work. I am trying to discuss with the drivers insurance company about the diminished value on my car; but, don't really know how to start? Where do I go to determine the value loss?

Honda Civic EX car accident. Buy or fix?

GKFHLA — Mon, 01 Dec 2008 14:18:36 GMT

I was in a car accident last week and there's structural damage to my car. I'm in a position where I have to decide whether to fix my car or purchase a new one. Note: my insurance covers the other party's damages, but not mine. To make things easier, here are the details:

1) Honda Civic EX Coupe (2000)
2) Mileage: 85,000
3) Front left side of my vehicle hit the rear right side of the other vehicle.
4) According to the auto repair shop, the estimated cost for repairing the vehicle is $4,300.
5) Kelley Blue Book quotes the trade-in value of my car (before the accident) at around $5,000.

With all of this in mind, would it be more logical for me to purchase a new car rather than fix up my Civic?

I can muster up the monthly payments, but I just feel badly that my Honda only has 85,000 miles. Honda's are known for lasting FOREVER, and I kind of feel like I'm throwing away a very decent car. HOWEVER, the cost of repair equals the value of my car, which is why I'm torn. Please help! Thanks!

Hit while parked. Coverage?

DFarkas — Mon, 01 Dec 2008 16:14:05 GMT

My cousin lives in New York and has State Farm comprehensive coverage. This morning he came out to his car (which had been parked on the street) and discovered that it had been hit during the night. The car is totalled. Is the damage covered by his comprehensive policy? I know collisions aren't covered but in this case it happened when the car was parked. We're unsure of what to do...

Hail damage payout received. Repair not done. Will a future collision repair be covered if car is in an accident?

saigloo — Mon, 26 Jan 2009 13:45:45 GMT

Car was covered fully comprehensive. Suffered hail damage and submitted a hail damage claim. Was paid out for hail damage, but did not do the hail damage repairs. If I am in a collision accident, will collision repairs be covered? Can I cancel this policy and take out a new policy for collision with another company to ensure collision coverage?

Best way to sell a wrecked 99 Toyota 4Runner?

bscott157 — Mon, 26 Jan 2009 18:48:18 GMT

My daughter had a 99 4 runner and wrecked it about a week ago. I would like to sell it but I think parting it out would be better and maybe make me more money. The motor and transmission don't appear to be hurt. There is some heavy body damage on the passenger side but the driver side is okay. Window motors work fine too. Any advice on which way to go?

What steps do I take to sell a wrecked car?

glassdoor609 — Thu, 05 Mar 2009 01:18:38 GMT

My Mini Cooper was in a front end accident and insurance won't cover it. I was able to drive the car home and to a body shop for an estimate. The cost of replacing the hood, light, and radiator is about half of the car's value. I plan on selling the car as-is on ebay rather than repair it. I live in California. Do I need to get a salvage title before I attempt to sell the car online?

Will liability insurance cover a scratched bumper from my son backing into a fellow students car?

redbar — Wed, 01 Apr 2009 08:21:50 GMT

My son has a big 4X4 truck. Was parked at school. Another student parked his car right behind the truck. When my son tried to leave, his hitch scratched the bumper of the car, about a 2 inch by 4 inch scratch. Rubber bumper. We only have liability insurance on the truck. Student who owns car is now getting ugly and wants to file a claim, will our liability only coverage pay for the bumper?

Need weight info for a 1994 Ford 25v van/truck rated 3/4 ton.

rapotap — Wed, 22 Apr 2009 20:31:33 GMT

Ford work truck van with ladder racks was involved in a hit & run accident with my Volvo XC70 and totaled it (T-bone hit). I'd like to compare the weight of the Ford work van to the weight of my Volvo. Van was in a SKID on icy roads, plowed into my car.

Insurance co won't believe this is possible for my car to be so heavily damaged by a truck that probably weighed 50% more than my Volvo! Need proof of weight of Ford van! thanks! Unsure as to exact model, but 94 VAN rated 3/4 ton.

What are my rights if I found crash damage after the purchase of a used car from a dealership?

angry_squirrel — Wed, 29 Apr 2009 14:45:59 GMT

I bought a used car from a dealership in Los Angeles. They indicated that the car hadn't been in a crash and the CarFax was clean (which it was).

I unfortunately was backed into (low speed, only very minor damage) and took the car in to have an estimate done. As the shop began to do the work, they discovered that there was previous damage that had been professionally repaired as well has crash structure damage (an indication of a more severe front end collision then a fender bender).

It's been close to 6 months since I purchased the car but I've been told that this car wasn't safe and should have never been sold due to the "hidden" damage.

I'm not sure at this point if there's anything that can be done or what rights I have since 6 months have passed. Any advise from anyone that's experienced something similar this would be appreciated.

Car is totaled. Insurance company is paying off. Do i have to make monthly payment once POA is given to insurance company for title release from bank?

1truthseeker — Sat, 16 May 2009 20:52:20 GMT

Car is less than 1 year old. I have Gap insurance, so total loan will be paid off by insurance co.

I am giving insurance co a (POA) Power of Attorney for the release of the title from the bank. Insurance co. is keeping the car and parting out.

The monthly payment will be due in about 10 days. The car won't be mine by then, the bank should have their check, insurance co will have car for parts. Insurance is telling me to go ahead and make monthly payment.

I'm thinking they are saying this just so they can pay less. Won't the insurance have to pay what the balance is at the time they they submit the POA? I'm sure the bank will say to make payment, more money for them right? Are either of them right? I'm thinking its one of the little tricks they use to make more money.

If I really owe this payment, Of course, I want to pay it. Will I be wasting money that I could use toward a down payment since I don't have a trade in this time? Thanks Anyone.

Can a parked Ford F-150 be hit from the front hard enough to move it 16" without leaving skid marks?

elshue55 — Sun, 31 May 2009 13:29:52 GMT

The owner of an F-150 claims his truck was hit by one of our company vehicles while his was parked on the street. The owner of the F-150 says the impact was hard enough to move it back 16".

While the employee does not deny hitting the truck, the severity of the impact is in question. The employee denies the impact moved the truck at all. His basis for this claim is that there are no skid marks 16" in front of where the owner of the F-150 says the vehicle originated.

My leased 2007 Nissan Altima was deemed a total loss by the insurance company. Do I get the money I put down back?

Car accident with unibody damage to a 2008 Ford Fusion.

catsams — Mon, 24 Aug 2009 21:15:51 GMT

I was recently in an accident and my car has significant damage. I browsed a lot of the FAQ and see a lot of information on DV claims mentioning frame damage. I was told my car does not have a frame it is a 2008 Ford Fusion it has a uni body. Is this considered the frame for sake of the discussions? Since I already know that I have damage to the uni body is it something that is going to effect the trade in value considerably. I am thinking that most reputable dealers would not want to re-sell a car that has had repairs that they would have to disclose as mentioned above.

The same time bought a new car and then got an accident without insurance.

sophiazhang — Tue, 08 Sep 2009 23:38:55 GMT

Hi, when the day I paid my car, I got the accident when I back off from the parking space to leave. After I paid the owner, I started to back off to leave that plaza, when I almost done, I saw another car which is in my back was started. Then I completely stopped.

However, that car did not see me, and ran into my car. Then the police came there, but he said both of us had minor damage, so he just exchanged the information for us and left without report. I also told the police I did not have the insurance because I just bought it. Today the other car's insurance company called me and told me to pay 50% of her damage. I refused, because I think it was not my fault. Then they told me they will give the report to the DMV and my license would be suspended for one year. Will this happen? Thanks!

Friend's car was hit while parked. Totaled. Insurance offer?

buytheredcar — Fri, 11 Sep 2009 01:05:20 GMT

I just had a question about a recent accident my friend had.

Her car was parked in front of her house and a lady rear ended it and tried to escape. I think
the cops arrested her..not positive though

My friends car was a 2009 Toyota, very low miles.
Her insurance deemed it "totaled"

My friend said shes only dealt with her insurance company regarding the matter, she wondering why the other insurance hasnt contacted her.

My friend's insurance company came back with an offer that was a little low.

She is wondering why she isn't dealing with the other insurance company since it wasn't her fault at all.

Her insurance company said they are going to pay her out first then go after the other insurance company to pay back them back.

Is this normal procedure?

Im not sure if my friend's insurance company is all that trustworthy.

Is there any way of getting more money from the other insurance company?

Is it normal not to talk to the other insurance company regarding this matter?

Sorry if these are stupid questions. I've never had to deal with this myself.

Thanks!

My first wreck. How can I make sure the collision center will not screw me over as far as repairs?

soccermomof5 — Fri, 11 Sep 2009 19:51:25 GMT

I just had my 1st wreck (hope my last too) Our SUV was towed to a collision center and my nerves are working overtime!! My sister had a wreck about 6-8 weeks ago- - her car was taken to a collision center and her car is now worse. The collision center made some "repairs" but after she was given her car back the a/c went out, brake fluid started leaking, her locks would not work and the list goes on...so she is having a hard time trying to get them to fix it correctly. We have full coverage insurance but I'm just not sure what to do. Our adjuster will not be out to inspect until Monday. Any suggestions??

tim66539 — Sat, 12 Sep 2009 18:57:02 GMT

My vehicle hit a telephone pole right in front of the front wheel and it appears that the rear lower control arm mount is cracked and bent from the frame. is it possible to remove the old mount and replace with a new one, or does it have to be straightened at a frame shop.
I have pictures available.

Thanks

Can the bank charge sales tax on a leased car, which was deemed a total loss in an accident?

lilkate83 — Tue, 15 Sep 2009 21:58:44 GMT

Recently leased a new Toyota Venza. The car was unfortunately in an accident only 4 months into the lease and was deemed a total loss by the insurance company. The insurance company is claiming they do not owe sales tax in the pay off amount because it is a leased car. However, the bank is treating this as a lease buy out / early termination. They are charging us the balance on the car + sales tax on that value + the next month's payment + an early termination fee.

We are in Arizona. We very unfortunately did not get GAP Insurance. Our monthly payments did include sales tax (each base monthly amount was taxed).

Should I answer the other driver's insurance company that wants to know about my life for the last ten years?

housebed — Thu, 08 Oct 2009 10:01:16 GMT

I had an auto accident two years ago, my attorney said we are going to trial. Recently, I been asked by my attorney for an interview in which the other driver's insurance wants to ask me questions about things like where did I work last ten years, place where I lived or what doctors I visited; that kind of questions.

I'm not happy with that because it was two years ago and after the accident, my wife and myself have been through a lot of things.

Does anyone have ideas about this, because I don't trust my attorney anymore.

Has anyone had similar type incident with a Magnum? I'm truly terrified of the car now and it should be done soon!

Would be greatful to know if other Magnum owners have had an incident like this?

I was in a car accident (I'm ok), my insurance company gave me a 'Power Of Attorney Transfer Motor Vehicle' to sign. I signed it so doesn't that mean I no longer have any rights to the car and the car now belongs to the insurance company?

Where can I get a complete and accurate record of my driving history? The Mass. RMV cannot find it.

jimishelter — Wed, 01 Jul 2009 10:54:26 GMT

My Mass. license was suspended because I didn't pay a fine (expired registration tags) when I lived in California. I moved to Mass., turned in My Ca. license and got a Mass. license and 5 mos. later I got a notice from Mass. RMV that they were gonna revoke my Ma. license if I didn't pay a $500 fine to Ca.
I paid the fine and all should be well. This was in '03
I've been driving since 1978.

Now I'm in commercial truck driving school and I get my driving record from the RMV and it has the suspension on there but it doesn't say what it's for.
It's not a moving violation, it was basically an administrative issue.
Someone stole the reg. tag off the license of a car I left with a friend in Ca. to sell and the cops ticketed it and I never got the notice so they suspended my license even though I no longer had a Ca. license.

I would like my driving record to accurately reflect 30+ years of accident, incident, speeding ticket, DUI free driving and all the RMV knows is that the first time I had a license, as far as they can tell, is 2003 and I immediately had it suspended.

Doesn't look good to a prospective employer, especially if your almost 48 years old.

93 Lincoln Town Car burned. Ford said fire caused too much damage to tell if it was a recall's fault. Help.

My 1993 Lincoln Town Car had a recall. It caught fire. Ford said fire caused too much damage to tell if it was their fault. Who could help me recover my losses? I have pics. Also still have car in storage.

I have a 2001 that was dinged in a hit with another car, not bad but I need to replace the passenger headlight pod and the header panel as it broke too. I'm good with tools but I just don't have any manuals to do this and I know it has to be simple seamus

I have a 1979 Lincoln with no dents but faded paint. Was hit in rear quarter panel. Will the whole car have to be repainted?

I have a 1979 Lincoln that had no dents in it, just faded paint job. It was hit in the rear quarter panel near the lights. To be repaired, will the whole car have to be repainted? I've never heard of matching faded paint.

What are my options? Car accident.

I was in an accident this week-end. A lady pulled out in front of me, I swerved to try to miss her. My front hit her right quarter panel/bumper and it catapulted me across the street, down an embankment and hit a tree. I have a 1991 Ford truck Custom. It's a very nice truck with only 68,000 miles on it. I want my truck fixed. it will need a new hood, front quarter panel, bumper, grill and drivers door, a new radiator and paint job. Will her insurance company fix it? They said she has insurance to pay for my damages up to $10,000 dollars? I do NOT want another truck I want mine fixed.
