Need a lawyer!!

[JHbowhunter]

Only reason to get a lawyer is if you were injured... I know you been kicking around some spinal neck surgery.... Are you SURE this wasn't aggravated from getting rear-ended?

 

Also I think having it "totaled" is actually a good thing.  The net-net of it all should be your NJM compensates you for replacement cost (not a new one I surmise, but replacement value), and then NJM subrogates (recovers their loss) against the other insurance company.

 

Take the check- and find something used of which there are a million out there, or use it as a down-payment on a new one.

 

Good luck!  Glad you were ok.

No, my neck feels the same. And still moving on that front, my insurance knows about it as a pre-existing issue, but I don't feel any different than any other day.

Pretty sure all accidents go through no fault now. Rear hits and all.

 

Got forbid they blame someone. Feelings may get hurt.

Here's a few pix of the damage. Nice huh?

You can buy it back for $1 from the insurance company if get a decent adjuster.  If it can be made road worthy again....  It will have a salvaged title but you end up keeping the truck and getting the check.

Injuries such as whip lash don't show up for days.

It's road worthy, the only thing that has me worried are the leaf springs, they've been pushed down by the rear mounts when I got hit, so they are under tension and straight, it rides harder now then it did, no as smooth. I know it can't stay that way, so looks like I'll have to replace the truck, no way to fix that without straightening the frame, and I don't have the cash for that.

I talked with a really good lawyer and since I wasn't hurt there was noting that can be done

 

 

 

Didn't u tell him about the nightmares u've been having since the accident..?

My girl was stuck in traffic on Rt. 78 in the Bloomsbury area, and some guy never stopped and hit her . She is using a law firm in Hoboken

At least you didn't get hurt. Hope njm does right thing and gives you decent value for truck.

I run it but I have low standards.

Get the money, buy the truck back for a dollar. Straightening the frame to close enough is not that hard. You just need to get somebody to do a thorough inspection to make sure it's not shot. Been through this a few times.
