I was going straight and there was this car stopped on the right side of road, waiting to get into my lane from a gas station.
I slowed down just to be pre-cautious but I did not come to a full stop nor letting the other car go first since I have the right of way, the other car was in complete stop. I drove pass by until I felt a hit on the passenger side, right rear QP was damaged.
Made two mistakes, did not record on dashcam, so there is no footage, tried to recover but was not successful. Did not call the police, thinking no one was hurt and my car is still drivable, thinking that its pretty straight forward, no doubt that the other driver is at fault, the other driver came out apologizing, and we exchanged info, I did not think they will be denying liability afterwards.
Anyways, been dealing with their insurance Geico for 2 days now, they seem to be dragging their feet, and today I got some updates Geico is saying they receive a different statement from their insured than my statement.
Can they just make something up and deny the lability ? Fact is I was hit on the right side like straight on by her front bumper, and I had the right of way! how can they get away of this??
I'm going to give them till next Monday then let my insurance to deal with Geico because Im done wasting my time on this and talking to them over the phone. I just feel super annoyed, that they are trying to get away when its obvious they are at fault.
Also pretty upset that my car is brand new 2000miles.
Last question, do you think this is repairable? or must be replaced? I get different stories I asked about 4 shops so far.
is repairing better than replacing it?
Anyone experienced with filing DV in New York?
Thanks for taking the time to read this.
