Coming to work today, I was stopped at a school cross walk. A crossing guard is standing in the road with her stop sign in the air, probably a dozen kids are crossing the road. All of a sudden, BAM! and my car jumps forward. It scares the SHIT out of me because there are kids maybe 15 ft in front of my car and I TOTALLY didn't see it coming. I look in my rearview and see this like 98 Ford Taurus behind me and I am like FML...
I pull over and this car pulls in behind me. I get out and this girl gets out of the car, and she is hysterical. She has to be maaaaaybe 19 TOPS, fairly pretty, dressed like she is going to a job interview or something. She is apologizing profusely, makeup running and all that stuff. I am just friggin overwhelmed at this point, still trying to figure out wtf is going on.
There is no visible damage to my rear bumper, yet her front bumper is cracked to shit. My car is covered in snow, sand and salt from the roads but from what I can tell there is NOTHING to show that I was in an accident?! I couldn't believe it!
Anyways, long story short I have her insurance info and whatnot, I am getting the bumper looked at on Wed. this week. I am giving her the chance to cover any repairs without insurance, its up to her how she wants to go.
If we do go through insurance, will they likely just cut me a cheque? Or will they deal with the shop that does the repairs directly? I am hoping I just get a cheque, which means I can get some lower painted or put it towards a votex kit.
