Wait, the same driver hit you twice? On seperate occasions? Is this person stalking you?

it took 3.5 months because i told them i want their best work done and its not my intention to sell this
@Shark raven quoted my pictures, at the time of the hit i had the car for 3 months and it had 35xx miles on it. i walked away with a hks air duct, oem jdm clear side markers and a mishimoto radiator for not much outta pocket and free install labor and alignment for the coilovers i had.

Tell your wife to stop following you so close! (couldnt resist sorry)

1. Get an attorney ASAP, else their insurance will try to say you were at fault and you'll get screwed

2. My advice is to always try to get car totaled, you'll get full dealer retail value based on selling price of your car in the area, which is much more than you'd spend replacing it, not to mention having to deal with the depreciated value, rental cars, crappy repair jobs, etc.

Yeh the same driver. she hit me then tried to run so i got back in front of her and she hit me again, after i got out, snapped pics, the cops told is (via the phone) to pull into the parking lot...she ran again... she ended up in a bigger accident less than 5min later where she was caught.

They said she was is diabetic shock. I got my car back 2 months (on the dot) later all fixed up. 10K of damage.

Well that sucks big time but at least you didn't get hurt. I got rear ended in July by a young woman who was too busy texting rather than driving. My girlfriend is having all kinds of back issues now and it's causing her all kinds of stress because it's affecting her work (she's a nurse who spends a lot of time on her feet). The other driver was cited at fault, but the insurance case won't be resolved until all medical issues with my girlfriend are resolved. Initially we were letting my insurance company handle the claim since her insurance company would have to pay for everything but once the medical issues started affecting with her work, it became too complicated and we had to get a lawyer. Oh yeah, the damage was $4500 to my xB and that was just a fender bender.

@Shark the other insurance company did try to put 30% fault on me, but we contested it and I ended up getting my deductible back. Without dashcam footage or a witness, all you have going for you is a detailed statement, your word against her's. It doesn't matter that no citation was issued because the final decision of fault will be up to the insurance companies.

As far as the car not being the same: find a good body shop that offers a lifetime guarantee on their work; they usually know what they are doing. A car is just a bunch of pieces bolted together, and if enough pieces are replaced, you won't be able to tell the difference. Your damage really isn't that bad, so I wouldn't lose sleep over it.

Am I understanding that the cop didn't even write a report? You might need something documenting her statement at the time of the accident (sounds like she was totally admitting fault), just in the event that she later decides she has whiplash or something and tries to get your insurance to pay her medical bills. I was involved in a wreck that involved no contact between the two cars, and the other party tried to get my insurance to pay for his lost time at work.
