Ugh! Fortunately, I was not hurt however my car is and I might get a summons.This is not good at all. I lost a headlight. I have been sitting here for 45 minutes now Atleast I ate before this happened so I don't have to sit here hungry.Good Lord..This is going to cost a bundle. The cops are taking forever with this

Oh, Snowy. I am so sorry. It happened to me two years ago, a lady hit me while leaving a parking lot and she did get three tickets. It ended up being a huge mess just waiting on the parts. If he is found at fault and your car isn’t drivable, contact his insurance to see about a rental car! Call someone to come and help you or take you home if necessary, please!!

I don't think they are finding him at fault. The car is drivable.

@MarieCoyle Yeah, but of course you aren't supposed to drive if you are missing a headlight though

Ugh, what a massive headache. Thank goodness you're okay—that's the most important thing, even though it's so frustrating about your car and the wait. Sitting there for 45 minutes is brutal. Smart thinking to have eaten first, at least that's one small win in a lousy situation. Hope things get sorted quickly and the damage isn't as bad as you fear.

Thank you...It isn't good. I am afraid the whole front bumper might need replaced, as well as the headlight asembly of course.

@snowy22315 Ugh, that sounds expensive. Hope your insurance covers most of it. The waiting around is definitely the worst part.

@Marilynda1225 Yes, well I am going to mitigate the costs as I am. I hope I don't hear anything nasty from the insurance company...that is what I am really kind of worried about...oh and just the expense in general plus the inconvience. I am not supposed to be driving it.

No, it should be able to fixed. It's driveable but I am afraid it will be a costly fix.

Thanks, Yes. I can't imagine an injury to deal with on top of everything else. Everything happened on the passenger side...it was like a heavy sideswipe, but the truck bounced off the car and whacked the front bumper and took out the right headlight.

Some guy driving for a local business I guess. Oddly though there were Maine plates in the vehicle

Thanks Sandra. I am working a few different angles..but with the cost of things these days I am afraid it could be quite expensive and more than I want to pay.

It is..bumper is damaged headlight gone. They did, was a work vehicle .but since they are blaming me for the accident although he was likely speeding, I doubt I will get any help from his insurance.

Thanks, I am glad I am OK too, but this is going to be one enormous PIA. Just when I thought I was going to be a few dollars ahead too..
