Her insurance company is dragging their ***, I have an accident attorney right now and they recommend I go through my own insurance right now to take care of everything quickly.. then they'll get her insurance company to reimburse my insurance company. My insurance company has a repair shop lined up to see me Tuesday and a rental car booked

It was a 90 yr old lady , she was about 5 feet tall , driving a 2005 Tahoe and couldnt even see over the steering wheel. She said she didn't even see me . She actually asked me would I mind if she left the scene so she could make it to the bank before they closed.

I've had the car for a year now and it's the second time it's been rear ended. The first was a hit and run in a store parking lot . Crazy part is that I wasn't even parked next to any other vehicles !!!! I was about 80 feet from the nearest vehicle, came outside and my bumper was cracked....

One of my worst fears. I spend more time staring into my rear view at stop lights.
Hopefully you get it all fixed up without a lot of drama from the insurance company and body shop.

Hate to see pictures like that - has to be heartbreaking for you to have your car damaged. Best of luck with the repair and in your dealings with the other insurance company.

90 and still driving?.....I have relatives younger than that and couldn't imagine them driving a car and navigating today's traffic. I know everyone is different and ages at different rates, but 90 is still 90.
