So the real pain here is going back to school the next day with someone who claims that an accident was your fault and not the others like the police report claims, from what I have heard today I was speeding at like 60mphs, cutting trough the lot, had someone in the car, was on the phone, under the influence (wtf) and I perposly ran into him, he was already in the lane, according to most people my car was "hardly damaged, a bolt came out, may need a new door." While his precious bronco (not the collectible ones) had the front in tore to shreds. Well you can see by the pictures and the police report and the simple fact that my airbags didn't deploy to prove who is wrong and who is right about this but I am tired of hearing the ********************. Shall I add what his mother did when I went to shake her hand after the accident happened, she put her hands behind her back like a 2 year old and reluctantly decided to shake my hands.

If your story is straight, get witnesses then, I hate to say it, think about getting a lawyer. From the sound of the other party and their family's reaction I doubt this will be a walk in the park.
Like others, I had a situation several years ago where a car was totaled and the other party was cited (kid had his license for all of 4 days, on cell phone and pulled out directly in front of me) and obviously at fault yet their insurance company fought me on everything tooth and nail. Yes I did subrogate but it did not really help, and yes I was more than reasonable. I've never sued anyone and am not the suing type but in retrospect I should of lawyered up, being a Mr. Nice guy definitely cost me.

Because it was on private property there was no traffic citation so to my knowledge it is non negotiable and as the officer said himself idk if you were on your phone or not (I wasn't) but regardless you had right of way and he did not yield to that he is at fault.

So let me get this straight. You get out of class, pick up his girl, down a 6-pack or smoke some weed, turn off PSM, start pulling some Jim Rockfords in the student lot, take off in a straight 60mph+ run, purposely clip the front of his Bronco II with your Porsche just to rub in the fact his girl wants the guy in the Porsche, and now it's his fault?? Man, that's low.
(That's what I heard in the hall after 3rd period History, anyway.....  )
