Back on Jan 16 I was involved in an accident ,1998 Volvo V70 AWD, where a kid turned infront of me at an intersection. I ended up hitting him on the passengerside and crunched up my passenger headlight area. Totaly his fault. I had the green light and it turned yellow just as I entered the intersection and he cut the corner to turn to his left, cutting me off. I was actually slowing down to see if any cars were turning into the intersection and then WHAM . Luckily I was able and still am able to drive the car.
Here is a link to some shots I took when I got home after the accident

In the meantime, I was in the proccess of getting ready to move at the end of Jan. Our dog, my wifes best friend of 13+ years got really sick before christmas and lost him to liver disease at the end of jan. Then my wife fell at work and injured her knee and ankle 2 wks ago. Luckily we got a new puppy before the other dog was gone and my wife`s knee is better now.
But just got off of the phone with the other drivers insurance and they have determined that it is 30% my fault. I have a letter stating that I should of been paying proper attention. That totly sucks! The estimate to fix the car is almost $8K. The other insurance company says to go thru my own. I have AIG and the other comapany was Encompass. The body shop, a mercedes shop, says that AIG is horrible to deal with.
Encompass says that the reason that they found it partially my fault was due to Pa`s comparative negligence law
All I have to say that this "new year" has really sucked.
The only good thing is that I have a new (to me) house with a one car garage and a nice wide driveway.
I think I need some detailing therapy:p
