I was hit in the back by another driver her air bag was deployed and the front of her car was total in the accident. The other driver had to get her car towed.

The inspector from the other party is stating that hey will only pay for partial payment to my back bumper and that they will not cover the expenses to my brakes and the driver side window nor to the front wipers.

Answer:


Hello Lucinda,

Well, it’ hard to imagine how your front windshield wiper was damaged with a read collision. Even at a very high rate of speed, the damage to the front of your car is unlikely.

If the collision is such, then maybe your car is a total loss. For the breaks, there maybe damage there. You need talk to a mechanic or your own insurance company to see if they can relate the damage to the accident.


As always, it is very important that you talk with a local attorney!
Good Luck,
