Got hit by a Semi Truck

[Motorhead350]

This is so dumb, dumber than me! I was driving to a store on a 2 WAY street and there are always trucks in the area. So sometimes I have to move over to let them by. Well today I was passing though and had to move to the right to a semi could clear me. As I was sitting and waiting I get hit by a semi in reverse. The semi that hit me was backing up to get his trailer, hit me and I had to honk before he actually stopped for a good 3 seconds, maybe closer to 2.

Well as you can see he has no damage and my car looks like a beater right now. He didn't give me his insurance info and said he wanted to pay out of his pocket. I got an estimate at 4k - 6k... a little high to me. I told the guy the cost over the phone and he almost flipped. He told me he had a friend with a shop and to bring it there. I am fine with that as long as the job is done right. For all I care they can use taxi cab parts... I honestly do not care. Just make it look good again and have a job well done.

Also if you look the trailer is facing the wrong way on the road. This is a two way street. I almost lost it when the guy said I was also to blame. All he had to do was check his mirrors and he wasn't even moving when I pulled over. HE was the FIRST semi I moved over for.

I am just angry as always. Physically I am fine. I have no idea if I can make it to KY because this is my only working car!!!

[RacerX]

Uhhhhhh... :shake: He didn't give you insurance info? Wants his guy to fix it??? Oh boy... I just don't have many words for this one...

[fastblackmerc]

Your a fool if you don't file an accident report and notify both insurance companies. Without do those things you have no way of making sure your car is fixed properly. how are you going to get around while the car is in the shop? Is the truck driver going to pay for a rental? Right now all you have are pictures which don't prove a thing.

[Blackened300a]

Dom get in touch with the company on the door of the truck, your insurance company and the police to get a report ASAP. You will get ****ed if you don't do this now. I feel terrible for you and I really hope this gets resolved the right way. You can't do a cash deal with that much money at stake and you can't take this guys word that his "friend" will do a good job. You'll need a new quarter hung on there and a hammer with bondo won't cut it on the long term.

[Papillon]

Go through our insurance company man. He/his company should definitely be covered. He just probably doesn't wanna lose his job over it. "Friend's shop".... sounds sketchy.

I'D tell HIM what shop I'd go to and send him the bill. If he doesn't like it, then call his company.

[Egon Spengler]

What a maroon....

[a_d_a_m]

Everyone pretty much summed it up: shoulda got the cops and insurance companies involved right away. Any time someone plays the "I don't want to involve my insurance company" game I get suspicious and, from my experience on the job, it rarely seems to end well.

[Mercguy04]

Instead, have him contact your body shop, and sign a contract with them for the repairs.
If you send him a bill. It more than likly will hit the round file.
You owe him nothing. You don't even know him. If he loses his job, he's learned a lesson the hard way on driving.
Protect your self at all times and in all situations, trust no one you don't know personally. He is not your friend. And do call the Police, that is what they are there for. You pay your taxes just like the next guy.

Dom if you let the truck driver's "buddy" fix your car at his 'body shop' They will half ass the repair as quickly and cheaply as possible.
Guess what it's going to look like when they are done?

Do what every member who posted has already told you to do.

[RacerX]

I'm sorry, but, that truck driver needs to be put in his place. What if that was a child he ran over...

[babbage]

Dare I ask why didn't you take evasive maneuvers -- before impact?

[DOOM]

You didn't hear the "BEEPING" when he was backing up???

[Bluerauder]

Sorry to hear about this accident and the damage to your MM. I agree with others. File a report and get the insurance companies involved. Sounds like this may not be the first time for this guy.

[MrBluGruv]

That is definitely some bad luck. :(

It really sucks to see the car like that, but at least you're alright (if not at least pissed at the situation).

Good luck getting it squared away man.

[yjmud]

looks like it is totaled again
at least you are ok

[johnnyrauder]

dude i have never been in an accedent where the guy at fault hasn't had a "buddy" in the body shop bis. go thuough the ins. this guys a scammer

[1 Bad Merc]

Dom-go to the police station asap! Do not wait -go file a report or you are going to get the royal screw job! Then call his' company and your insurance company and report it and let your insurance company do it's job. That's why you pay for insurance!

[TAKEDOWN]

^^^ Yup, especially after he complained that the amount was too much! If it was truly the other driver's fault the insurance claim shouldn't go against you. ^^^

Or maybe you already have and are too embarassed to admit it right now.

?

[FastMerc]

Sorry to hear about that but you should go through the legal channels for this!

[rayjay]

This is the exact reason why you ALWAYS contact the police and have at a minimum a blotter entry or official information exchange done. When ever someone doesn't want to do things the right way it should set an alarm off in your head ...

[ChiTownMaraud3r]

Agree Dom, this is ridiculous to expect his "buddy's shop" to fix it to OEM spec at a cheaper price.

Many of those truck drivers don't even have licenses..I wouldn't have left without an official police report, and insurance knowing of this. You could probably have gotten the WHOLE car re-painted if you went through his insurance(if he had any.)

[JOEMERC]

Yeah his buddy with down syndrome and a rubber mallet will fix it up real nice im sure.go thru insurance companys or you will get hosed in the end.after all its a marauder not a chevy.

[Vortex]

Get an accident report asap and file a claim, its not too late. Never be a nice guy on this sort of stuff, you will certainly get screwed.

[RF Overlord]

Dom...do what ^^^they^^^ said. Now...or you will never get it made right.

Looks like repairable damage on the vehicle. I just hope there wasn't any brain damage.

[Ms. Denmark]

Why does everyone think Dom's incapable of rational thought? The rest of you weren't there at the scene. Why shouldn't people trust each other? Maybe the truck driver looked trustworthy. Why shouldn't Dom get his car fixed at the guys friend's shop? How do the rest of you know that guy won't do a great job? And besides, Dom just said he doesn't care if they use taxi parts. There is way too much cynicism in this world. It's refreshing to see someone trust a total stranger. Way to go Dom!

[FormulaMarauder]

MOST agencies won't do a report after the fact. They need AOI location (Area of Impact measurements) and insurance compaines won't entertain many "after the fact" claims. The reason they do this is to prevent fraud between conspiring parties. Why do you think people get into minor collisions and hang out on the roads for the Police rather than just show up at the station? No damage on his trailer like you say? You honestly think he's going to say he hit you after you told him of the 6k possible bill? Especially now, if you claim he hit you, he won't want to get in trouble w/his boss and will refute your side of the story, especially after the fact. Those pics mean NOTHING.
How could you not hear and see him reversing at the low speeds those things back up? Even if you were trapped, shame on you for stopping so close to the car in front of you.

You saying that you dont care if its taxi cab parts just confirms that you know that you messed up. Nobody spends as much time on a car forum and asking as many questions as you do, only to fold and say you essentially dont give a ***** about your car.

I'm in shock as to how much drama you have in your life in regards to your car. I'm not saying that to de a di(k, I'm just making an observation.
Good luck, kid. You're gonna need it. Best of luck to you.

[PonyUP]

Dom really? He knows a guy? Come on man, even you can see thats shady. Knowing how much you love this car, how can you do anything less then file a report and contact his insurance company? You can't shortcut something like this, and I fear that your delay may have already cost you dearly, as now it is simply your word against his.

Regarding the "What if I crash again?" You live in downtown Chicago, crap like this is going to happen again, it's not a mtter of if, but when.

Best advice I can give, anytime you are in an accident, at the very least get insurance info and a drivers license, and if need be, the police.

NEVER take their word for it, NEVER accept they don't want to involve the insurance company, NEVER assume they just need a break.

You are too kind, and don't always assume the worst in people, well when it comes to screwing you and saving thousands of dollars, ALWAYS assume the worst in people.

Really Ms D? When it comes to thousands of dollars worth of damage, Dom should trust someone because he knows a guy?

We must live in very different worlds. People will always try and step on someone to get ahead. For every kind soul that is trustworthy, there is $100,000 that aren't. Ever get an email from someone in Africa that just needs your help to get to this country and if you send them $5000, they will repay it ten fold? Or any one of ten thousand spam scams that come via email. People are always trying to scam, especially in a big city like Chicago.

I can appreciate your rosy outlook, but it's not reality. And giving Dom any other advice than contact insurance and the police is, well not to sound harsh, but irresponsible

[RacerX]

:( I think most of us are worried he's going to get taken for a ride. He's a fellow contributing member in his own way and whatever the outcome, I believe (speaking for most?) we all hope it goes his way and there is no ill will. Guess a lot of us don't trust most situations, but, things in life have taught each of us different ways to think. I know in NH, if damage exceeds $1000, it's against the law to not report it. Good luck Dom, keep us updated!

[Da Dark Jedi]

Are they still making OEM body panel for our cars? Dom how much if any info did you get on this guy i.e. DL #, Pl #, Co Ph #. The truck driver has a right to contest the accident. How much is your Marauder worth? Your Ins rep will look it over from bump-to-bumper. Since he was backing up for a drop, why didn't you do the same? What ever happen to " I was drivin' 30mph in reverse" down a one way street?

If the repairs are more than a certain percentage of the value of "your" car, they'll total it. Did you do any of the above advice, like notify your Ins Company & file a accident report?

Well, you do live in a major metropolitan area and we live in a small, rural farming community where we never lock our doors. (Our neighbors come in to borrow sugar while we're at work.) And we do not know anyone in Africa.

I do have a generally optimistic outlook which some may call rosy. Call me irresponsible, call me unreliable, but it's undeniably true....(aren't those song lyrics?) Anyway, I'm all for staying positive and hoping for the best....especially when it involves my beloved Marauder.

Um......Okay:eek:

I can't tell if you are being facetious or not. But if your not then I would like to nominate you as the chairperson of the Dom's Marauder Car fixer-upper fund.

Since you are so sure that the kind hearted truck driver will fix Dom's car for him and you agree that Dom should trust him then this will be a useless thread. But......if Dom should get screwed on this because he listened to your advice I think the least you could do for him would be to lead the fundraisers to help him get his' car fixed. :D

Just sayin......that would be the neighborly thing to do.

[Da Dark Jedi]

OK Ms D, what we have is a GROWN MAN not a boy who talked before about "Scamming" the legal system (we all remember the Cali Driver License). A band leader, World Traveler and Street drag racer (who will show up in his SC Marauder and hussle people). Now "possibly" someone is runing game on him! Some of the things Dom has done he understands his actions. When it comes to BIG money alot of people "Trust NO STRANGER" !

[Bigdogjim]

Where's your faith in humanity?

After 37 years in transportation I can I have none when it come to any slips. fall's, or vehicle damage. I trust no one! Some one tells me that they got hurt on the motorcoach because they think I stopped too fast guess what? Yep! I dial 911 and they leave the coach with the EMT.

Any one hit's my coach or the other way around I call for the Police and take lots of pictures with my 35mm digital that I always have with me.

People see a bigger vehicle (truck ,bus) and see big $$$$$$$$$$$$

Trust me I have been on both sides of this many, many times.

Now as far as Dom goes I think he already got the shaft on this one.

I really hope I worng for his sake.

[guspech750]

I have a bridge for sale. Just give me $10,000 and you will double your money from the tolls in two days. Fk that driver. I don't care if the driver is an 80 year old woman. Show me your gd damn inssurance card and I am calling the police.

I'm sorry Dom. But I think you lost this one. I think you should be asking yourself. Do I know a guy who can do the work cheap and do it right as I think you have been taken.

Yes and no. The semi driver was actually really sorry.


Looks like repairable damage on the vehicle. I just hope there wasn't any brain damage.

Yes. That's why I said I don't mind taxi parts. All it needs is a 1/4 panel and I was told the bumper could be fixed. It's the same panel that CVs use, there is no unique Marauder metal body part... I think.


Why does everyone think Dom's incapable of rational thought? The rest of you weren't there at the scene. Why shouldn't people trust each other? Maybe the truck driver looked trustworthy.

I was just doing my best to make it easy for the both of us and I guess I was being nice... as always. Don't tell anyone, they won't believe you.


shame on you for stopping so close to the car in front of you. Really? Should I have gone against the semi and I slowed down for and played chicken with 30,000 pounds. You weren't there. It was get hit in reverse or go head on against a semi with a load. What would have you done?

You saying that you dont care if its taxi cab parts just confirms that you know that you messed up. Nobody spends as much time on a car forum and asking as many questions as you do, only to fold and say you essentially dont give a ***** about your car. Wrong. There are others with a lot more posts than me. Proving you cannot do math to save your pathetic life.

Went to a police station and they said they needed the truckers insurance. I got his drivers license number, name, phone, DOT on the truck, plate, truck company.


A band leader, World Traveler and Street drag racer !

Yup that's me!!! :D


As for everything else. I have spoken to the driver three times today. He is more than happy to get this resolved. I am stopping by the shop he told me about tomorrow for an estimate. I might even have them take the car when I am out of town to save him money on getting me a rental car. Used body parts are fine with me. I just wanna make sure the job is done right. If it's not I will send it back.

The truckers boss is his son in law and they already spoke. So I don't know what the big deal is with the insurance, but they almost seem to want to fix the car and move on quicker than me. They called me a few times and actually said sorry multiple times.

This whole "trust no one" I totally get, but I have all his info except insurance. So I pretty much got him by the pecker.

There is no damage other than the 1/4 panel and bumper. THAT'S IT! Paint will be needed too.

It's an easy fix. I cannot believe I was quoted 4k-6k. I bet it can be done for $1500 with fixing the bumper (if it can be done) junkyard body panel and paint. I don't need this a numbers matching car. I do not give a hoot about it's value. It's mine and it's never going to anyone else unless I die before the car gives out.

This machine has gone to hell and back with me multiple times. It just went to NYC on a bad wrist pin, ran 12s all summer, I was 30 in reverse yesterday! It keeps on going. Even after the crash it's fine... just looks goofy. No steering issues or anything. It works fine!

[4play]

Lol mine spews fuel while I drive. Toss cig's out the window non stop.

[1 Bad Merc]

You dont know what is damaged underneath. I gurantee you from looking at your pictures that the trunk pan is damaged also. I would still have another shop look at it just so I could compare estimates.

Be careful DOM.....I know guys that could pull out the quarter panel, mud it up and make the car look great! Then 6 months later -(next winter with the low temps or maybe a rough pothole or railroad crossing) -POW! It would all fall apart on you!

[jabird56]

ANYTHING regarding commercial vehicles, DON'T screw around with "let my buddy fix it". Get the report filed and include copies of those photos, and get with your insurance company and have them sick their claims "pit bull" on it.

New OEM body panel is the only way.

[Horsepower]

I'm sorry, but, that truck driver needs to be put in his place. What if that was a child he ran over...


" I don't want to get the cops involved. I have a friend who patches people up for a good price. They can fix your kids legs in no time."

[FordNut]

A few thoughts...

I had an experience with a trucking company, they blew a tire and the road gator damaged the wife's car. They stopped and exchanged information. We did not file a police report. The trucking company paid the estimate, no problems. They were anxious to pay the claim and get it off the books, basically issue payment and get a signed release.

Now I suppose if somebody gave me an estimate claiming it may be $4k, it may be $6k, I would have a problem with that. I've had numerous estimates done and they always have an exact number. That's a 50% variation, that's not an estimate it's just numbers pulled out of thin air.

[05crownsport]

Being a truck driver myself, I can't imagine how any driver that is a professional would have not seen you, and then not want to follow proper procedures once he did. He's probably a hack. Doesn't even have a CDL, or was under the influence of something. It will behoove you to call the police and explain what happened, knowing that you were also in the wrong for not doing so right away. I hope everything works out for you, and the car will be repaired. Just count it as one of those learning experiences.

[Da Dark Jedi]

Hey Dom, check out this guy. His name is Ken Klien, he'll inspect it while the work is in progress. He's out of Elgin, Illinois, below is his web-site. I've used him before with my body guy thats in Posen, Illinois off I-57 @ 147 Exit. hit me a PM and I'll send you his info.

You can't trust no one out there at all. The guy's "friend" could be one of the million of shady body shops out there that do terrible work that causes problems down the road.
Also you are 100% correct about people seeing $$$ with a bigger vehicle. We get at least 5 calls a week with people trying to claim broken windshields from debris falling off trailers, and people with POS cars doing dumb things on purpose to make me have to narrowly avoid hitting them so they can claim a payday. Any accidents our drivers have are on the up and up. We pay over $150k a year for our fleet and carrier insurance and we let them fight it out, most of the time the car is at fault. I always have a camera present and the police are called immediately if a issue arises.


:eek:You more than anybody should know how trustworthy a truck driver can be! How would you like it if someone in Dom's position demanded Paul's drivers license and insurance info just because he bashed into their car!

I would have no problem handing it over. I'm not shady and will fess up to the mistake. In fact I would have called the police and my office right there on the spot and took care of it the proper way within a minute of it happening. Doing it the way this driver is going about it is shady and raises a lot of red flags. This is why Dom shouldn't trust him and go the proper route with this.

Dom,
ALL trucks have to have a backup alarm installed BY LAW!! If his wasn't working that works in your favor if you had a cop present at the time. The fact that this guy was driving a day-cab and couldn't see you makes me think that driver is careless or inexperienced and this would be a big problem down the road for him so he would rather buy his way out of it anyway possible.

That ^^^^^^^^ pretty much sums it up

[Mike]

Your a fool if you don't file an accident report and notify both insurance companies. Without do those things you have no way of making sure your car is fixed properly. how are you going to get around while the car is in the shop? Is the truck driver going to pay for a rental? Right now all you have are pictures which don't prove a thing.

^^^Dom, I agree 100%^^^ not only that, whenever he gives you his friends body shop info., you should check to see if he's part of Better Business Bureau (bbb.com)

[cpe6]

Motorhead dont go for it; MM's are expensive to fix. If you have good insurance report it to your company they will label it as no fault; you pay the deductible and your insurance company will reimburse you. I hope you have State Farm or Allstate, a guy clipped my bumper right left only pushed it in and cracked the taillight; He wanted to pay out of pocket when I gave him the estimate of 1500.00 he tried to give me the run around, I talked to my agent and he suggested that I proceed the way he wanted me to and they used brand new parts and even painted the Marauder letters red just like the day it was before it was hit.

[cpe6]

Thats a day cab he should have seen you out of the rear window, nevertheless if he was a professional he would have double checked to make sure no one was behind when he started backing up, guess he didnt use or have convex mirrors. Get it fixed the right way new body panel.

[massacre]

Sounds like yet another in the never-ending string of bad decisions that you have made throughout your life.
Personally, I think obvious troll is obvious.

Sounds like you parked your car in a precarious position, leaving yourself no option other than being backed into by a tractor.
I find this hilarious, since I bet you won't even learn your lesson, something remarkably similar to this will happen in the near future.

The other driver is stroking you, I hope you get ripped off royally, it serves you right.
Too bad the other guy wasn't going 80mph or so. Would have made for a much better thread IMHO

What comes to my mind...... Dom's thread "can I borrow your Marauder", now you understand why so many said "NO".

[CameronVic]

I'm sorry, but if that happened to my old cop car, the real cops would be there shortly to document this *****.

Dom, let me give you a hypothetical....

Let's say Joe the truck driver and his Son in Law Gustuvus are honest individuals, and repair the Marauder and even repair it well. You are happy and they are happy.

6 months later something happens, I don't know, maybe your axle breaks because this accident caused a tiny crack that wasn't caught by Alejandro the Body guy.

You go back to Joe and Gustuvus, who will not pay for continuing damage because there is no proof they caused it.


This is just one of many scenarios. This is the last piece of advice I will offer, it sounds like you have made up you mind, in which case I'd close the thread, but if you haven't

CALL INSURANCE, FILE POLICE REPORT, you are not doing it to screw them, but rather protect yourself. If you fail to that, you will get what you deserve.

I hope I am wrong and that it works out, but let me ask you this, what if I'm right?

[LeoVampire]

But I agree with most of the others there is nothing wrong with protecting yourself and making sure the repairs are done right!

Granted another report will go on the VIN record for the Marauder but you do not want any of this to come back and bite you on the ass later down the road.

No matter what you do I hope the repairs come out right and your happy with the end results Motorhead350

Sounds like yet another in the never-ending string of bad decisions that you have made throughout your life.
Personally, I think obvious troll is obvious.

Sounds like you parked your car in a precarious position, leaving yourself no option other than being backed into by a tractor.
I find this hilarious, since I bet you won't even learn your lesson, something remarkably similar to this will happen in the near future.

The other driver is stroking you, I hope you get ripped off royally, it serves you right.
Too bad the other guy wasn't going 80mph or so. Would have made for a much better thread IMHO

You know what dude, I have come to the conclusion you are a piece of sh11t. That's right I am name calling on the board without flags. Ban me I don't care. I got all the parts and advice I need. I have no problem giving it right back to you this time. This happens everytime I got out of my way to help someone. Wither it's leaving work to send your crap in the mail or getting kicked out of a band I formed and taught.

You are starting an attack on me for something I lost out on? You are going to burn in hell with a stronger burn than anyone else if there is a hell. I have gone out of my way for you and you wish misery on me? I will honestly say if I ever meet you it's going to be ugly. People like you need to be put in their place. A guy like you belongs in jail for playing the victim.

You wish he was going 80 when he hit me? Are you wishing death upon me? I think you are and guess what that would have been fine too. I was honestly thinking I might be in for a beating or worse when I went to the exact body shop I was going to. I honestly didn't care what would have happened to me, I was more worried about Zack's tires that were in my car. Would that have humored you? Be being hit at 80? And you are saying I am the a-hole? You are such a bigger jerk than even a woman would put up with.

The car wasn't parked. I was letting a truck go by while in drive, but at a stop.

I wish you were here. I would love to meet you at an amateur fight night. I wouldn't even care if I lost. You are going to get whats coming to you someday, by me or someone else. The only reason you are posting such garbage on here is because you know you are safe. I am no where near you. If I was close or at an event I would guarantee you would keep you mouth shut. I am your bone to pick when really the problem is you and you refuse to accept that. You will blame everyone else for your problems except yourself. Guess what? Everything that's wrong in your life is your fault, deal with it and fix it. Just as I am fixing the car. I know I have made wrong decisions and I learn from them, letting you into my life was a mistake. Having thin skin and flipping out over the internet is my fault too, but I'm done being nice to you. I'm not going ignore you and take your bogus attitude.

I actually wish you well. Maybe there is intelligence left in that mind of yours, but if it's one thing I learned about people recently... they never change. Junkies will be junkies, bible thumpers will be bible thumpers and jerks will be jerks. You are a bad person and a scammer and always will be so, unless something happens where you have no choice.



What comes to my mind...... Dom's thread "can I borrow your Marauder", now you understand why so many said "NO".

Nope, sure don't. I was just letting traffic by and got hit. Simple as that.

Finally I went to the OTHER body shop today and got quoted $3,100.00 with Marauder OEM parts. They actually wanted me to drop it off today and get it done, but I need the car for the weekend.

On the up side I can cut off people on the right a lot easier! I love driving a beat up car.

Dom,

Sounds like you are on the right track and wish you well on getting your MM repaired correctly.

This thread has run it's course.

Please start another thread once you get your MM in the shop and let us know if it's to your satisfaction.

Hope to see you in Louisville!

;)

Mike.
