    what to do about car accident? insurance?

    yo guys
    on sunday some guy hit my car. I just got it 3 months ago... Anyway he hit the right side so its all fucked up from the passenger side fender to the passenger door..

    He admitted fault, was really sorry, i called cops, they took report, etc..

    Anyway, i gotta call his insurance company but im wondering if there is a way i can get my whole car repainted?

    The problem is if they paint only my passenger side it might look off...

    My car is black and i know its easy to match the paint but still im sure a good body shop guy can tell it got painted on that side of it..

    I feel like im about to suffer even though is not my fault..

    Black is the hardest color to match and be picky, if it doesn't match, tell them to do it again, till they paint the whole car
    Carbon is not the problem, it makes up 0.041% of our atmosphere , 95% of that is from Volcanos and decomposing plants and stuff. So people in the US are responsible for 13% of the carbon in the atmosphere which 95% is not from Humans, like cars and trucks and stuff and they want to spend trillions to fix it while Solar Panel plants are powered by coal plants
    think about that

              Man, let me tell you insurance companies are serious pains in the asses. I was almost killed in a very serious car wreck the day before thanksgiving just a few months ago. 100% the other guys fault. I still have over $8k of medical bills and I still cant see an orthopedist (im still in pain) due to the insurance company refusing to pay up since the wreck happened in another state than the one im insured in.

              Good luck dealing with the insurance companies. They are some shifty bastards.

                Here you have to give the guy's Insurance company 3 "official" budgets of the total repair of the car.
                They will choose one and pay you that amount of money. But THAT may take them almost a month to decide. In the meantime, your car is a mess.

                  what do you mean 3 official budgets??

                  im confused??

                  last time i had an accident the insurance company sent THEIR OWN guy to look at my car... then they sent me a check in the mail automatically

                    I think he meant estimates from body repair shops.

                      why are you calling his insurance? just call yours. paint never matches 100% no matter how hard you try. if it doesnt match a good shop will have no problems fading out the new paint over the old so it looks perfect. very unlikely to be a full car respray considering how common fading out the paint is. painting an entire side of a car shouldn't be an issue with a good shop.

                      word of advise, always check the paint out in the sun. never when its getting dark or even indoors.

                                    If you have full coverage, call your insurance company and let them handle this. That is what you pay for.

                                        Them trying to rip you off. You pay for full coverage. Let your insurance handle it and they will collect from the other guy's insurance.

                                        You have absolutely nothing to gain be doing it yourself.

                                        This used to be my profession. Take my word for it.

                                          Dealing with the "other" insurance company offers no advantages - only disadvantages; your insurance company will likely, if not already, found out about it anyways.

                                          Best thing to do is deal only with your insurance company - they will in turn determine / negotiate with the "other" insurance company the amount each will pay ...

                                          And believe it or not, based on the damage you described, your insurance rate likely won't change much, if even at all.

                                              you call your insurance...your insurance agent should help you out, thats why you pay them

                                              you wont get your car repainted

                                              you have the right to take your car to any bodyshop you choose, you dont need 3 estimates....you choose the best shop in your city

                                                yeah the dirt dog is dead on. Your insurance company should be doing all of the grunt work for you right now.

                                                  If they raise your rates, cancel and move on to another carrier.

                                                          Why are you asking advice but not paying any attention to it when given? I used to represent people like you, and I always found it amazing.

                                                          Now you know why you should be talking to YOUR carrier. Let them fix your car and let them collect it from the other guy.

Whether they find out from his insurance co, or from the police report that gets filed. Your insurance shouldn't go up since you're not at fault, but either way they are going to find out, so it's best if you call them directly. Let YOUR insurance company deal with HIS insurance company.
