Your Ins company should go to bat for you. That's what you pay them for.
The garbage truck driver is negligent because he did not see you . What if it was not your car, but [god forbid] a child on a bicycle? Would not be the kid's fault would it. I don't care if you were parked there, outside the car, and chatting with your friends. It's his responsibility to see where he's going.
Sorry to hear it. Doesn't sound like you're sweating it. Just bummed that you have to wait even longer to put on your exhaust and rims/tires. Dude, that SUX.

Actually im not bummed. Its not my fault, im just waiting to see what the police report says. Thats usually the deal breaker. I'm gonna get the TS rear valence if it all goes thru, maybe nismo. :-D
SVRTech exhaust + work emotion Kai's and the new nismo rears with a nismo front lip to set it all off :-D.
im more or less upset that now my gf has to drive me to school instead of me driving her. She drives mad slow.

Ok.. update:
Called ins company and they said im most likely not at fault. Only problem is if the police report says im half at fault, my ins company will have to fight with the other ins company for my deductible.
Its getting better. Its cuz i went to church for the first time in 4 months.

yeah that sucks man. hope it works out for you. i work to pay off my car too (only about $6000 left
) and some people are just jealous that they didn't have that kind of opportunity when they were our age. either way, whether your 16 or 56, a wreck is a bad situation to be in. hope the dice roll in your favor

ok lets get this right. while picking up the gf from the library you pull into a no parking zone. was it a no parking zone cause of the dumpster that the garbage truck was unloading? and was the truck their before you stoped. so its raining as well. a garbage truck is alot bigger and i could see the driver backing up and not seeing your car until he felt him hitting you.
sorry but if i had been the cop i would have put the blame on you cause you were in the garbage trucks way. he was doing his job and you just sat there. even with the loud backup signal you still sat there. why didn't you just move your car? before he hit you. what did your dad say?

I did try to move. Its raining, so i didnt wan tto give it too much gas and slip. I was able to move far enough so he wouldn't hit my door. Its actually a no parking zone because theres no parking spots there lol. Its a side road, with enough room for a truck. Trust me, i was far from him, and i could see him in his side view mirror. He wasn't paying attention, and he even addmitted that in the police report.

I always go to church when I'm having bad luck and I've noticed the same thing!
Sorry to hear about the Z though

Same thing happend to me a few years ago when I had an RSX-S except it was a truck with a u-haul trailor. He had to pay for everything.
Good luck with everything, and keep going to church. It works!

Truck drivers fault period!!
Always the garbage drivers fault, never a ZED's fault, ever.
Sorry to hear about your car.
Sucks fighting with insurance companies, for sure.
Keep

I went through my insurance. i have a question though... since i went through my ins, and it was NOT my fault...would in ins go up? I just found out the other day if its not ur fault ur supposed to go thru the other party's ins. I always thought u go thru your ins, and they fight the other ins company for the full payment...obviously not. Let me know if you know!
