just got rearended by a black 98 durango. the impact was so hard that it literally pushed my car onto the sidewalk. the ww fiberglass front is shattered, my right pirelli tire needs to be replaced, the ENTIRE back is gone. bumper, both taillights, center panel, wing, hatch, etc. the front hood doesn't close right. damn i'm so pissed. basically i slowed down because the roads were absolutely terrible due to construction. 3 teenage girls in the durango were following too closely and couldn't stop in time. the girl then had the NERVE to jump out of the car and start yelling at me like it was my fault for slowing down. she hit me dead on from the back. police came, took the report and there were no conflicts in the story. the only thing she kept saying was that i stopped suddenly, which i DID not do. i slowed down, but i never slammed on the brakes. i explained this to one of the cops and he told me that he understands why i slowed cuz he drives a lowered mustang himself. guys i never got into an accident with another car like this. how does this process work? if i got rear ended like that its 100% not my fault right? my insurance shouldn't go up right? and who pays for the damage, my insurance co or theirs? do i just get a check or do i have to take it to where the insurance tells me to take it to? i only have basic liability coverage but this is CLEARLY not my fault. btw, i have geico. sorry for so many q's. this is so frustrating. i just got my ww kit put on maybe 3 months ago. all was pretty much done. and now i have to deal with this crap. trust me guys, having a nice ride in nyc totally blows. i've gotten into 4 hit and run accidents in 2 years. 3 of those times the car was just parked. i can't take this. i'm selling the damn thing and getting a corolla...okay maybe not. please give me any advice you can. i'm new to this situation and would like your input. thanks so much.
