Hope your insured cause I bet she ain't and if she is, it just got canceled. Good luck and glad your OK. You need a new truck anyway, right?

She tried swearing last minute and I tried swerving but had a car coming so could only do so much. If she hadent swerved she would have been seriously injured at best. I'm insured as was she, she was shaken up quite a bit but like I told her accidents happen. The look on the lady's face that was holding the stop sign as she was running away not knowing where it was coming or ending was a look of shear terror.

They better total my truck bc it will never drive the same after that kind of impact especially with the lift. Lucklu I have everything lift, tires, acc insured to so they better take care if it it lawyers will be involved

She clipped the rear side of the trailer and spun from her momentum and we hit nearly head on again

Sorry about the accident, but I've got to say I laughed at the part when she jumps out of the car and says "I wasn't on my phone." Could you be any more obvious?

As an insurance guy I suggest sending her and her insurance company a letter asking them to preserve her cell phone records. Just in case she disputes it.

Hope you remembered to plug your trailer lights in and check them before you hit the road trip.

If the impact was as hard as it looks then I would bet there is some frame damage even if its very slight. A lot of insurance companies will total a vehicle when there is frame damage because they don't want the liability of fixing a weakened frame. Its one of the few times they will total a vehicle even if the cost of repairs is far less than the value of the vehicle.

I think Texas is one of only 2 states that have the 100% clause where a insurance company can only total a vehicle if the cost of repairs and salvage value equal 100% or more of the value of the vehicle prior to the accident. One exception to that rule is frame damage which can become a safety hazard. In some states they can total a vehicle at only 50%.

Glad you are OK and hope they total it. Mine got wrecked and was $100 from being totaled, it has never been right since.

Dadgum. Glad everybody's okay. Vehicle parts are so expensive. I'd be surprised if it isn't totaled.

Glad everyone's OK.

If the cops didn't, get your trailer bulbs with witnesses and label them;

DPS can get her cell records.

PTL Ya'll walked away... Please go to the Doctor PDQ and have him go over YOU & the Investor/Passenger with a fine tooth comb, and pay close attention to your skeltal structure and joints.

I got hit hard enough on my '01 Z's right front wheel by a Honda Civic red light runner that it bent the frame 3". Woke up a week later with a knee swollen big enough to look like it was a black & blue rotten cantaloupe and could not walk....a meniscus stress impact tear as it had not touched nuthin and had no marks or bruises on the skin & I had been fine walking around the accident site on camera...and had merry Hell with her attorney over it.

Man make sure they check your frame for damage.
My wife was hit similar to this in her suburban and where the trailer was folded under the rear bumper, it bent the frame of her suburban.
It wasnt in the original adjusters report

Glad everyone was ok man

Accidents are one thing. This sounds like negligence on her part. Make sure you are compensated down to the last kernel of corn.
