i got hit on free way from behind by a scion xb how bad is this

 

I'm glad to hear you wern't hurt!!! It does not look too bad, and hey don't feel too bad, I already need a new bumper on my truck thanks to my friend!

 

That sucks man...don't worry it can be fixed.

 

that really sucks

 

yea but that that part of the wheelbase is bent is that replaceable? and thanx guys

 

I don't see anything there that's not replaceable / fixable. Even if the frame rails are bent, they can be straightened (the beauty of body on frame, it's a lot simpler to fix). Just be glad it's in the rear, the front is a lot trickier to get back to 'normal' after it gets bent up.

Did you get any shots of the Scion? I have a feeling it got jacked up after eating your bumper like that.

 

hey insurance will pay for all and the scion hit you so there insurance will have to pay for it

 

no no pics but it was destroyed !!! so my truck isnt toatled is it? cuz my dad thinks the frame is f/d up, and btw that scion driver ass gave me a concussion and whiplash which is sucky

 

damn hope it heals the right way

 

That scion must be a disaster. The truck's not too bad. How fast was the scion going?

 

let me guess, the scion driver was under 18 or over 80?

 

We won't be able to tell if it's totaled by just a few pictures. It also depends on the value of your truck, but in my nonprofessional opinion, I don't think it should be totaled.

I'm sorry to hear you got injured in the process. Just a word of warning from experience: the Scion's insurance company will try to buy you out on your injuries. Meaning they will offer you a lump sum and ask you to sign a document releasing them from further liability / payments / lawsuits. This can be either really good, or really bad for you.

If you're confident that you won't have any lingering issues with your head / neck (doctors say so, it's been a while and you feel fine, etc)... you can make some cash off of the buyout from the insurance company. But if you sign and take the money and then have lingering effects, you won't have any recourse against them in the future. It's really not that big of a deal, but I've seen people sign when they see an offer for a couple of grand and then get screwed in the long-run when they need more medical attention.

Get feeling better, and let us know how it all turns out.

 

yea thanks, im just sore, im way more mad about the truck

 

she was a 30yr old hispanic with her son

 

Glad to hear you weren't hurt! Insurance can pay for repairs on the truck, but can't pay for your life back..

 

Dude i'm so sorry about your truck...I hope you feel better!

 

i was rearended in my 98 twice, so i know that it sucks big time...buts its probably because he couldnt see you braking w/ those tinted tails...

 

so i need a new bed and basically backside of truck ,

 

sounds about right.
