My friend got in the same accident about 2 years ago, same situation where he was in the middle. Even though he hit the guy in front of him first, the guy that rearended him was liable for both cars in front.

 

well w/e im ok everythings ok..

now... my cousins frend wll install the airbags for me for maybe cheaper than the 500deductable from insruance company, he works at a dealership...

so he'd get the airbags for me, and install...

now i just dont kno where id get a new steering wheel cover.... and the things on the otjher side....or do they click right in after they have the airbag to old them there?

 

Glad it's working out for you. And remember always trust your parents in helping you make decisions. Never lie to them. You don't want to loose their trust. Sure, you may get lectured about things but at your age it probably wouldn't hurt. Not dissin ya or nothing but My kid will be griving in a 3 years so I hope he'll be responsible enough to trust me when **** happens. Parents always love their chidren and that won't change no matter how bad things get.

 

Your insurance is going to **** rape you now...lol

 

Duce with parents always loving their children! Andrea Yates ring a bell! I'm going to agee that it is almost always the responsibility of the person who hit you from behind (regardless if your airbags went off). It means they were following too close so they would be liable for everything. Them not giving you thier info is almost hit and run IMO if it caused damage (I know its not, but both parties should exchange info regarless...whiplash is a bit**). If you let them cut then that was on you. Could be a good opportunity to get a cobra bumper with the "cobra" part filled in! The glass is always half full, especially when it is a $400 glass!

 

well... in NJ

In a rear end accident. The person who rear ended is ALWAYS responsible...

so... I really hope you got everones info...

 

Most likely monkeh was the cause of the accident. And he would be responsible for causing the chain reaction that insued. Failure to slow to avoid an accident does not apply to all situations. You cant just lock up your brakes and expect everyone to react the same. So the person who initiated the first collision would probably be responsible for the insuing melee behind him. And as for parents... I meant normal parents..

 

thats how it SHOULD be...

like i said... idk how it is every where... but in NJ... the person who re ended is ALWAYS at fault...

and NJ laws are something that I know VERY well... being that my pops is a retired trooper

 

Your probably right if all goes by the book. Daaam think of those massive pile ups in foggy weather on interstates. Geez take all day to hand out tickets for a 100 car pile up.. :surrender

 

well that depends on the cop...

most NJ troopers wouldn't waste their time... 99% of the patrol are great guys...

Its up to the cop to write the ticket... i would hope that a cop wouldn't issue a ticket to ever car

 

You know this is an interesting subject cause we've all seen those 2 and 3 car collisions. (never had a wreck myself). But who gets the ticket? If someone pulls out in front of me or something like that and I slam them, then a chain reaction starts, Wouldn't the driver who started the whole mess be at fault? Maybe not.? Chime in anyone who has been rearended or has rearended someone and caused the pileup.

 

I know a few moving violations would be (I'm guessing now)

failure to slow for an accident
following to closely to avoid an accident
failure to reduce speed to blah blah.
any others?
I guess like you said it depends on the officer and the situation.

 

i think state laws are different...

 

I would look on ebay or a junk yard for the airbag you may get each for less than $100.

 

yea, thats wut my cousins friend is gonna do, get 2 that way, then install it himself....

but not sure yet....

 

where would i go to get airbags done? a dealership? any1 kno?

 

You should be able to do it yourself.....but i'm sure any repair shop could do it cheaper than a dealer

 

I wouldnt attempt to install it yourself bc there's only one way to find out if they work. And by then it'd be too late if they didnt work...

 

lol ok... so just look around for a repair shop?

im getting sick of driving my ol 98 v6...its just not the same...i dont feel....fast...

and i got new tires....they r just sitting there on my car...not going fast

 

so, dont go do it then show insurance company bill?

wut do i do then?

and will whoever i go to fix it and get the replace parts (steering wheel part and passanger panel?)

 

well dad went to insurance place...im dropping my car off at the ford dealership i got my car from...they r gonna do the airbags and possibly repaint my front and rear bumpers (front has dmg from previous owner and the rear bumper...they repainted it before when sum1 hit me...and the paint is for sum reason fading near the wheels...so thats their mistake...hopfully they will repaint that for free neways since it has a warranty) -

my dad is paying for it right now...im paying 200, then paying him weekly installments...so bye bye exhaust ...
