I do not really want to post this here, but figure might be ok. The car is not totaled by any means
I do not know how many of you work on Fort Belvoir, but leaving Tulley Gate to get on RTE 1 there are two lanes. Both lanes have arrows to turn left onto rte 1 south. I was in the right one and an Imprezza in the left. As we were coming out of the intersection she changed lanes into me. She hit the wheel well, in the front driver side with the front of her car, and knocked the reflector off and there is a crack right above the wheel. You can see scuff marks where she hit the tire and wheel. The crack has pieces of, i guess, fiber glass coming out so I imagine I may need a new front clam.
Well at the scene she told the police officer she did it blah blah and the witness and I confirmed. He only gave her a warning because she was so upfront and he wanted the insurance to see that she got something for liability purposes.
Since the accident I have been calling Geico with the claim number and they will not let me set an appointment with Criswell until they can confirm with her that she in fact hit me. The guy I got today just made me more angry about this whole thing. I explained that she got the warning and I had a witness and he told me she has rights and that I had to be patient...... I said I had a car that needed to be fixed and I did not think it was fair that I would have to wait for her, since there is evidence that she is at fault. Then I got the spiel about her rights and they are not police and cannot force her to do anything.
Is there anything I can do? I should have rights too and I should not have to wait 30 days for them to finally decide to fix my car. I am worried that it will just get worse. I dont know what to do!
