On Sunday, 06/23 I was driving down a street in my neighborhood when a careless driver quickly reversed out of a driveway without checking for traffic and sideswiped the rear passenger door of my brand new, 2014 KIA Forte EX. I am in shock, I haven't even had the car more than 3 weeks and its already been in an accident that wasn't my fault. I tried to brake and swerve to avoid it, but they were reversing so quickly and not looking back,
that I couldn't avoid it. I obviously have the right-of-way and the other party is clearly at fault. However, they are blaming me, telling me that I was going too fast. No, I was going about 30mph (the speed limit).
Here's where it gets really frustrating. These people were visiting from Mexico, driving their own car, licensed, registered, and insured in Mexico. I haven't gotten anything accomplished with their insurance. I'm just getting the runaround with attitude by the same lady.
I have since filed a claim with my insurance company, which I completely trust, and it's been smooth sailing from here. I didn't trust Ace Seguros (their insurance). My car is at the local KIA dealer's body shop and I have a rental car from Enterprise.
Being that these careless idiots are living in another country, will they get away with this? State Farm said they are going to represent me after all is completed so they can TRY and get my $500 deductible back and State Farm can get the repair costs back.
I'm so stressed out about all of this.
