Daymn if you were in texas and got rear ended like that its the persons fault.

So lets say these arrows are car >>>>>> the pointy part is the front, lets say there is in accident like this, the person farthest in the back will get so F*ucked over he can get sued for injuries and also he is at fault for everyone...

Love that law BAHAHA

So what do you do, drive around in reverse on one ways? Good way to get an R3 in Texas I guess.

DO NOT TOUCH, REPAIR OR MODIFY YOUR CAR UNTIL THE INSURANCE COMPANY VIEWS IT otherwise you will slow the process and eventually end up having them against you...TRUST ME I've been thru this many of times following the rules of those who exactly know how to win a case against many INSURANCE COMPANIES..

I know it sucks having your car like that, but I STRONGLY SUGGEST don't do anything until you have a BODY SHOP estimate ( Make Sure it's HIGH ) then insurance takes pictures, and a full declaration of your story etc etc....

BTW you can buy parts, but don't tell the insurance you allready found the parts otherwise they will revoke your claim...
Understand your reasoning 100% but the police say it's my fault since I was in reverse. No police report was filed because the cop actually suggested I handle this outside of the insurance company.

but you werent backing up. You stopped, may sound like a political point but the truth is the truth, you noticed the SUV and you were stopped. He hit you. end of story

I was in the act of backing up which is all MA Insurance companies look for. It's also a he said she said claim with no witnesses. So I say they hit me, they say I backed into them, no witnesses except the ones in his car which are biased, so insurance blames me because I was in the act of backing up.

Wow, we had a verbal agreement that I would pay out of pocket to fix all damage. Yesterday, I spoke to the guy and he was ok with this and wanted to go to my auto body to get an estimate, but I didn't have time to. Now, he is still trying to get money from me AND he filed a claim with insurance. The damn brazillian is just trying to get money from me now. WTF!! If he goes through insurance, I am going to make sure it is a long dragged out process. Even if I don't win, I will make sure I give him hell. Maybe I will cut him a check for the damage and then when I bring the claim to court, show I already paid for the damges.
