i'm sorry but god i can't stand people that can't brake in a linear motion...she looks like she didn't apply even close to enough braking force to begin with. not fair, and you weren't following that close at all

^ o no, as stated, that video is not me. im just referring to when he hit the car in front is how i felt, that thud .
hopefully the estimate is done tommorow so i know everything and then insurance adjustor needs to come and see it and we'll see how it goes. im praying to god for a smooth process and no other implications...

the good thing is at least i don have to worry about the car being totaled due to airbags, that got me nervous when he was talking to me about it.

life has its ups and downs. i think you're lucky that it wasn't too severe of a collision. the stress will pass within a few months...i'm just now getting out of a low spot tbh

First the air bag deploys the side curtain one side or another regardless if someones in the car, it senses impact at all angles and deploys the proper airbags. based on your photo the harder point of contact was the passenger side and therefore deployed the passenger airbag.
Definitely have a Collision center repair the car the headliners are a real art to get in correctly without causing damage. Sorry about the crash glad your ok..also idk why this is in the ///M forum/ Similar incident to my car Side curtain and front end total damage was 16k |

Sorry to hear all this but the less you say the better. If litigation happens your insurance will handle it but you pay in premiums.
On a side note towards the other crash from the other post, I live 2 miles from there and was trying to drive thru right after that happened and it looked very bad, glad to hear the passenger is doing better. |

damn marinara looks like you went straight on to the car in front, how did your repairs go?
also is there a time limit of where a person can claim injury? like 5 years after my car is repaired and everything is settled and then insurance tells me, yea you remember 5 years ago the crash well now she filing...

Lots of people will literally wait to the last minute to claim injuries. The reason they do this is because at this poitn the facts aren't fresh, a lot of 'lost data', and they stand a significantly higher chance of winning the suit.... complete bullshit is what it is. |

^ for real? i think that is completely fucked up if they win a case on a "lost data" and having so much time pass by. there has to be a time limit no?

In VA, it's 2 years, I think. I was hurt in an accident and had 2 years to submit bills to the other guys insurance agency.
It does vary by state. |

I'm not saying you shouldn't be able to 'add to a bill' so to speak years down the road. I'm saying you shouldn't be able to be fine for 2 years, then magically at the end of the it, your neck starts hurting. |

I got nailed by Progressive 2 years after an accident that was all paid for.
Used to drive a giant-ass Ford Expedition. Pulling into a parking spot, next to a shitty old Hyundai on my passenger side and the guy in the Hyundai swings the drivers door all the way open as i pull in. I couldn't even see his fucking car, and i definitely could not see his damn door. Well, insurance obviously determines the accident to be my fault and pays the dude $1,200. Have no idea what happened with the money, but I think he had the door fixed at some random-ass body shop that didn't do a good job. 2 *YEARS* later I get a call from Progressive. Basically the guys door was still having issues, he filed another claim with his insurance, they estimated it would take $4,000 to fix and Progressive paid them, informing me after the fact that my rates will definitely go up because the amount they paid to the dude was now $5,200. I cancelled my Progressive policy right away, but still stayed on my insurance record for a while.

thanks for the input guys. the insurance guy met with my body shop guys and the repairs total out to $13k for everything. i should have my car in about 2 weeks.
the girl in the other car filed the claim with my insurance policy and i hope this will be the end of it... in general after you get into an accident, is it 3 years before your rates go back down again? times like this i wish my 3er had a pre safe brake feature like benz , does bmw even have this on their upper cars 5, 7, etc?

That's right, and it's up to 3 years from the time that your policy renews, not the time of the accident.
