Rear-end collision. Distracted driver with phone in hand caught on video

Insurance exists for a very specific reason and you should find an attorney to make sure you are made whole.

ct related: Can you take a picture of the frame underneath? where the trailer hitch mounts to the castings?

If I have issues during this claim, I will consider suing. This is my 3rd time (1st time in CT) being rear-ended in like a year man, it's so frustrating.

No way you're having issues on this one... I think you're safe.

She was either in shock, under the influence, suffering from a concussion, or very socially awkward. She stood like a statue and just stared at me. She didn't ask me anything or say anything to me. It was a very strange and awkward few moments before the police arrived. That made me even more upset. She could have at least apologized for the accident but instead she decided to remain silent.

In that moment she realized she hit a guy in a $100K truck and it was 100% her fault. Still rude not to at least ask if you’re ok and apologize.

Fingers crossed the truck is good.

Damn. So sorry this happened to you. I’m also in Jersey. What part of the state was this?

You can see the cell phone in her hand in this pic!

This is my number one case for autonomous driving. How long until FSD is as good as the world’s best driver? Could be never.

But it’s already better than a lot of people, and those tend to be the ones that cause accidents.

That's wild!

Did you have some "choice words" with the driver that hit you after the accident?

I was in Woodland Park

Not at all. I was really upset but I was waiting for her to apologize and she never spoke. Although I wanted to yell at her, I just couldn't do it. If she were a man, I might have voiced my opinion.

But I really thought she was under the influence of something so I was trying to observe her actions and record her through sentry.

 

[Klis]

Yea, that's why I'm particularly curious about the rear crumple zone on the CT.

Not great photos, I know. But the trailer hitch part is smashed, I can see that much.

Damn, sorry man, that sucks. The way her head hit the steering wheel she never saw you @_0

I've never sued anyone, I'd sue the hell out of her / her insurance - gotta learn somehow, flipped dangerous! Good news is no injuries, that's what counts, the rest can be fixed / rebought!

Being a motorcycle rider I always watch behind me at a stop...but bit easier to get out of the way due to vehicle size.

Dude I'm still recovering from a woman that turned left infront of me. Totalled my Triumph Street Triple and totalled my left leg. 3 fractures and torn acl. This was like 18 months ago.

No injuries but I'd love to sue purely for punitive damages. This woman was about to obliviously drive through an intersection and possibly kill someone.

Make sure you make a claim for diminished value. Got screwed in NY. New Model 3 value decreased by $5k for minor accident
