Had catistrophic accident today
While backing up my mother-in-law's driveway I clipped her recycle bin with my passenger side rear quarter panel. In the first picture below you can see the SEVERE DAMAGE that occurred as a result of the sudden impact! (well maybe not). I KNOW you can see the extent of the damage in the second picture below and be able to see why I am so distraught!. OK, MAYBE you can see the damage in the third picture taken with bright light and magnification of the carnage!
This leave me with a huge conundrum. Do I? 1. Sue my elderly 97 year old mother-in-law for reduced value? Surely she should have know I would be backing up in the vicinity she placed her recycle bin, thus bearing the responsibility for this accident. 2. Immediateley enroll in a remedial driving course. 3. Put the otherwise pristine 2014 coupe (only 7450 fair weather miles) in the body shop for a Full Restoration. 4. Just drive it!. It still puts a big grin on my face every time I pull out of the driveway! https://cimg1.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.cor...db5f451779.jpg https://cimg4.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.cor...bd3546ddf2.jpg https://cimg8.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.cor...fe7c1ebb3e.jpg |
Totaled.
|
Somehow, the local dealer had to be at fault...better contact a local lemon law attorney.
|
Yup Just
|
That will buff out but I would still sue her for pain and suffering.
|
Get your insurance agent to have it totaled and there’s your excuse to move up to a Z06! You’re welcome! |
Diminished value claim w/ insurance..............
|
No need to be cold hearted and sue her. That would seriously piss off your wife. Since she is 97......just wait a while.
|
Get some Griot's correction cream, some elbow grease, a cold one and call it a day!
|
OH! THE HUMANITY!! I'll start the bidding to take that disaster off your hands for $500....
|
5. Trade in for ZR1. Make sure to get the tall rear spoiler so it looks total rice.
|
It's totaled. Trade it on a new Kia.
|
Lawyer up.

$750.00 !!! |
Would there be a stairwell that someone could accidentally fall down into?
|
obviously you need to do your No 2 before you drive it anymore. If you pass the class then do your item 4.
|
Your options are clear. Junk it.
|
I'd be more worried about the damage from towing. There's no way you can drive that.
|
$$ Start a go fund me page. She's OLD, so maybe you could convince her that that SHE backed into YOU, and just forgot. Guilt her into changing her will. making you sole beneficiary.
