you may be able to take his insurance company to arbitration, i took nationwide to arbitration and beat for about 2200 when my brother wrecked my 87 gli years ago. He got the ticket (he shouldn't have) so my insurance company didn't want to go after them. we got to meet with an arbitration board and it was us verses the other person't insurance reps. we killed them, they were nearly speachless when we presented our case (complete with many photos, accident reconstruction using using actual measurements just scaled down evenly on poster board. my brother was a civil engineer major so he had all of the tools for drawing it up and scaling everything down perfectly. 2200 wasn't much, but the car had 195k on it, and i had only paid 2500 when i bought it 3 years earlier with 138k on the clock. the arbitration panel was very fair.
i would fight them if i were you, it sounds like you would win easy. chris -----Original Message----- From: Anthony Pelletier [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Tuesday, February 25, 2003 12:44 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [a2-16v-list] Anyone know where I can published braking distances Hello all, I am having a dispute with another guys insurance company. I was wondering if anyone knew if they every publishe the stock braking distances for a 91 gli. I know car & driver does it from 60 mph, but does anyone do it from a slower speed, say 25 or 30mph? For those interested: Here is the deal. I am traveling down the road. This guy pulls out from a stop sign without looking(the snowbanks were high). I brake and swerve right, but still clip his back corner. Filled out all thier paperwork, and now they are covering it, but want to split the damage 60/40 saying I was somehow negligent due to the fact I hit his rear quater? What should I have done, hit him square in the door? Anyone have any advice for me? Next time I'm getting a lawer, cause the some ins. co's are scumbags. I mean this is a legitimate claim and they are trying to shaft me. Tony __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
