Since he went up the curb he was going faster than he should have. How much too fast really doesn't matter.

I'd say figure out why traction was lost (bad tires, slippery conditions etc) and don't do that in the future.

Just my 2cents.

I don't know exactly how fast I was going. It was from a 45mph road taking a left so anywhere from 40-50mph

Reading the rest of this thread (bald tires, etc) and some of your other posts, I think you could pretty safely delete the word "car" from your statement.
You should be thankful that you weren't hurt, as in, thankful enough to realize that this is too much car for your current driving skill/intelligence and get rid of it.

The tires weren't even that old so I thought nothing of it. They just wore down extremely fast.

Lol no insurance companies or police involved at all! Luckily, my stepfather used to own a towing business so he has a rollback.

Unless it was wet, bald tires will give you MORE traction, hence racing tires have no treads.
