I was going to the Lions football game, when one the way some kid pulls out, obviously without looking. I swerved HARD, but to no avail.
Passenger Fender, Door- toast
Rear door-maybe fixable
Scrapes on both bumpers
Get this, the best part being he 16 but has NO, yes NO drivers licence at all, and was on his way to pick up some stuff for his friends.
And after I'm hit, I only assume he'll stop.....NOPE, go booting down the street and I'm on him like white on rice, and MAKE REAL SURE he's not getting away. He was probably afraid of the consequences
-$600 for leaving the scene
-$150 for no DL
-His parents' insurance (which were to be re-insured in 5 days) is now, not cheap. They had to take him downtown I think because of the no DL.
I took pictures, got one stranger witness and the 3 guys in my car as witnesses, wrote Everything I think I needed down.
Here's where I need your help
-I've never ever been in an accident involving 2 people, let alone me. What are some things I need to know so I don't get the runaround
-Like my wheels for example. 2 are now "damaged". If they replace them, can I keep the old ones?
-The driver's side has recent paint but My hood, roof and trunk are untouched but have bad bad factory paint, should I get those repainted?
I had a 16V fender badge that is now MIA from the accident, how on earth can I get those again? A Mondeo?
