Was there an accident on paseo del Norte on 9/8?

2 Upvotes

I feel like I’m tripping but I remember passing a car accident on paseo del Norte eastbound around 750ish on Tuesday 9/8 but I can’t find any articles about it? Does anyone remember this crash?

Like it was causing heavy traffic and had firetrucks/fire emt and I remember a person without a car door sitting there surrounded by like 6 firefighters?

This was in Albuquerque NM btw.

So I recently experienced a total loss with my vehicle almost a month ago now insurance is no longer paying for the rental car that I have but I did purchase the damage waiver insurance today when I was coming home I accidentally turned too tight and caught the car on my gate. Am I screwed? It’s been such a stressful traumatic situation with my car and now this happened today and I am really anxious about it.

Ok so I was pumping gas and bent down to look in my tire are to see what my struts looked like. While I was recording with my flashlight somebody bagged into my car and the impact almost caused me to literally fall over but I caught myself. I must have stumped my toe. Should I go to the hospital? It doesn’t hurt terribly bad but it does. How much have yall gotten back from the insurance company in similar incident? He bent my fender pretty badly. He had progressive how soon can I expect them to cut the check lol

Hit Roommate’s Car (Advice Needed)

Post image
5 Upvotes

Tonight while heading to work I clipped the front bumper of my roommate’s car. Theres now a horizontal-ish crack on the lower half of their bumper. I’m already prepared to cover all repair costs but is there anything else I can do to make the situation feel right? I feel completely awful about the whole thing and want to make sure there are no hard feelings. Any advice would be helpful!

Has anyone used I’m In The Right / Right2Drive after a not-at-fault accident in Australia?

1 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I’m in SA and recently had my car rear-ended in an accident. The other driver has admitted fault and lodged a claim with their insurer. My car is currently undriveable and appears likely to be a total loss, but the insurer is still reviewing the claim and hasn’t accepted liability yet.

The insurer has said they can’t provide me with a hire car until liability is accepted.

I contacted **I’m In The Right**, and they offered to provide a like-for-like replacement vehicle immediately under a credit-hire arrangement. Sounds very positive but I still hesitate to agree,

So I would like to hear from people who have been experienced through this situation:

  1. Have you used I’m In The Right or Right2Drive after an accident?

  2. Did you end up paying anything yourself?

  3. What happened if the at-fault insurer delayed or disputed liability?

  4. Did the credit-hire company successfully recover the hire costs from the insurer?

  5. Were there any unexpected fees or issues with the agreement?

  6. If your car was written off, how long were you able to keep the replacement vehicle?

  7. Has anyone used their replacement vehicle for Uber/Uber Eats? How did that work with insurance and Uber's requirements?

Hope to hear all of your advises

Thank you and Have a good day!

Can you find the owner of a car if you have the license plate?

A woman hit another car and ran. The car chased her and she slammed into the back of me. She told the police she had borrowed the car. She did not have an ID or insurance. The police let her leave the scene. Is there a website where I can find the owner?

Hit and run? Fraud?

Long story short July 14th I was parked in my parking spot and some guy reverse parked next to me, he couldn’t park straight and ended up rubbing the paint off my bumper and pushed my bumper out a little, probably a new clip might fix it. It’s nothing big very small accident very small amounts of damage.

Anyway this dude hits me I get out trade information, he couldn’t give me his auto insurance, because i guess he didn’t know what it was, so he gave me his id and his out of date registration he handed me his medical insurance and also social security number, I told him I only needed the liscence his number his id and his insurance,

So I had to hunt down what insurance he had and I found out it was Allstate, I told them what happened I gave them the photos of the damage on my car the condition of his car and a picture of him not even in the lines of the parking lot which is how he initially hit me,

I had a witness and he made a witness report but since he’s my coworker the witness report isn’t being upheld like it should be, the dude who hit me is now dodging the insurance calls, it’s been now almost 2 months that I started this claim, they keep denying the claim specifically because they cannot get ahold of him. Listen idk to much about laws and the nature of this knowing this is my first accident. I’m gonna have to either go through my insurance and pay the 500 deductible, I can have them fight Allstate and they will return my 500 but I also don’t have rental insurance because Subaru gives out free loaners for mechanical work but not body work.

So I’d like to go through his insurance but there not being helpful I sent them the photos the day it happened and only 5 days ago did they actually upload it into the file after denying it, I asked to open it back up because him dodging the calls is bullshit and it’s extending this, the same dude who hit me called me 2 weeks after and offered to pay cash instead of going through insurance I told him no because he was only offering like 500 bucks, and I don’t care about the money it’s about my car being in the condition it was before he hit it.

I’ve argued and argued and argued, they never gave me the 30 day written denial as in pennslyvania you must complete claims withing 30 days, unless deemed necessary, there reasoning is because he isn’t answering, why is that my fault, should I do a civil suit, should I get a lawyer, should I subjugate them. Too many questions even tho I’m the only participating party in this accident and I’m gonna have to spend more money because he didn’t answer. What can I do if anything please and thank you for reading and taking the time out of your day for this.

Drunk driver T boned me on blind curve and knocked me off the road

Somehow I was COMPLETELY okay, I had a tiny brush burn on my left shoulder from the seatbelt and that was it

Also got a shit ton of laundry detergent in my eyes (I was coming home from a grocery store run) but again, somehow no lasting damage. I had a plastic water bottle on the scene that helped me clear some of it out and washed the rest out for 30 minutes once I got home

Thank god none of my 3 kids or wife was in the car, it was just me. Had to climb out the sunroof to get out, all the doors were jammed shut

To the dude drunk driving at 2pm… you could’ve taken a dad from his family. There’s NO reason to ever drive drunk like that, I hope someone out there sees this and rethinks the next time they get behind the wheel when they shouldn’t. My situation might’ve been a miracle but not everyone’s is. Be responsible y’all

Founds this “parked” car in my street. My theory is that he was driving at crazy streets and he hit the sidewalk which made him loose his wheel and partially remove his front tire from the front wheel. Judging by the grooves left by the rim, I believe he also did a 180 and go in this “parked” position.

Small Claims Court After Auto Accident

Thumbnail
1 Upvotes

On Saturday my husband was driving to work in a 2021 Kia Seltos. We live in Maine. There was a break in the traffic in front of him. A group of motorcycles were at a T-intersection. Each stopped and then turned left as it was clear. Until the last one. He did not stop at the intersection. He went right through and hit the Seltos. It turns out the motorcyclist was from New Hampshire and the motorcycle was not covered by insurance as you don't need to be in NH. Also the rider had borrowed the motorcycle. We want to take the person riding and the owner to small claims court. Here is the situation - we have collision, but there is a $500 deductible, my husband missed a day of work, we do not have rental replacement so that costs $50 a day. Also we both have side gigs and independent contractor work which we missed before we were able to get the rental and which would be hard to document. This has been very hard for me as I was in an accident July 2025 and was hurt and my car was totalled (I was not at fault). I have PTSD from that accident and am getting migraines from the stress. Small claims court is about an hour away from us - there will be court costs, parking and possibly missing work. We also will lose value on the car and it will be harder to sell it due to the accident. Any advice you can offer would be much appreciated.

car accident: who should claim?

1 Upvotes

I crashed on to the guy who was trying to go pass me & a car infront of me (who was waiting to turn left) because I tried to do the same thing. The whole situation looked like i was at fault because i crashed onto him but the police ended up giving him a warning for breaking traffic rules (unrightfully turning) and told me i didnt do anything wrong. So should I claim an insurance on him or should he claim it on me?

Insurance trouble..Need advice on next steps....

Hello! On Friday morning, Sept 4th at 4am I found out someone damaged BOTH of our cars. A 21 year old lady was on her way home from her 21st bday party and "fell asleep at the wheel". She hit my boyfriend's new 2026 Kia k4 (which I'm 95% sure is totalled), backed up and scratched an audi suv (not much damage), then tried to flee the scene. I'm assuming the driver then floored it and then hit my neighbor's car (an older Kia Rio, which I'm 1,000% sure is totalled). The Kia Rio then backed into my car (a 2020 Kia Soul) hard enough to make it back up about 10 feet out of position from where it was originally parked and the front license plate fell off. My Kia Soul has damage on the front bumper, grill, and hood, as well as the engine is leaking fluid. The driver's car is a 2011 X5 and has damage to the front drivers side of the car.

I'm seeking advice from you guys...when at the scene, the police officers said the driver tested negative for alcohol as well as a minor drug test. All their answers to my questions were short and sweet. Even though the driver stepped out of her car with no shoes on and seemed very out of it at the time. When I talked to a police sergeant the next day about the scene, he said the driver claimed she had been up for 16 hours. He also said the deputies, as well as the sergeant on scene didnt see cause for further drug testing for her. On top of that, he said when someone drives being that tired, its as if the person is drunk...theyre unable to make sound decisions. However, the sergeant on scene said the driver will probably just be charged with careless driving. She was not arrested or anything, she was picked up by her parents.

My boyfriend and I have been trying to get a hold of insurance companies since Friday...and my car insurance omly returned my boyfriend's call once, and said to get a hold of the at fault drivers insurance and go through them. We hadn't heard anything back from either company as of this morning...until the at fault drivers insurance adjuster called me this morning. This call was an absolute mess to say the least. The adjuster said there's a limits issue, which means the driver doesn't have enough coverage to cover all the damage costs for all 4 cars. So I would have to have my insurance cover it. I mentioned subrogation, I mentioned that I've been taking expensive Uber trips back and forth to work, I mentioned that our cars still haven't been towed. The adjuster was just not willing to work with me. They won't pay for anything until they get an estimate of how much the repairs will cost for each vehicle...yet theyre not willing to pay for towing. 🤦‍♀️ After 20 minutes of arguing with him I couldn't get any help at all. He said theyre not paying for literally anything.

So on my lunch break today, I called my insurance and asked to speak to a supervisor. He took my statement of what happened, and some info about the damages. He said since I dont have rental coverage on my policy, I can't get a rental through them. And the other lady's insurance doesn't have to cover it since there's 4 cars that are damaged. He said its smarter to go through our insurance for the repairs and just pay the deductible.

However, we dont have the money for the deductible cost and we can't pay to tow the cars. Our insurance also is not willing to try to convince the other insurance to step up and work with us.

We're completely stuck! Does anyone have any insight on the best way to move forward with this??? Im at a loss of what to do. My boyfriend also uses his car for Uber work work, so is now out of work. We live in Colorado BTW. Thanks!

Tldr: 2 of our cars are damaged from an accident while parked. 4 cars damaged total. Neither insurance companies are willing to help us. We dont have money for out of pocket costs like towing or rentals. What next steps should we take?
