Geico just called you and said "hey, everything is a-ok champ, were going to just hand you more fat stacks of cash".

Man are you ever full of sh!t.

How many car accidents have you been in? Notice of acceptiance of liability dosen't mean settlement. You need acceptance of liability for them to say "lets cut you a check". Settlment is HERES YOUR CHECK.

Jackass.
I've been in my fair share, 3 where insurance and police came into play. Not once did I have an acceptance of liability from the other parties insurance carrier within a full business day.

Oh, and who said I didnt have a police report?
No one said it. I'm jumping to that conclusion.

You got in an accident, filed a police report, filed an insurance claim, had a claims officer look over all said information and came to within a step of settlement in a few hours?
Right, things must move faster down south....

Yes, thats correct.

I called Geico, spent an hour talking to them. They called their insured. They called me back, want to setup an appt to write it and they accept liability.

Short version:

Octogenearian turns into 7-11, except he dosent turn in. He STOPS as in DEER IN HEADLIGHTS and takes up the inside lane and half of the outside lane that I'm in.

Option A: Front end meets front end at 40 and blow both airbags, both cars likely totalled.

Option B: Hit the brakes, swerve to the right, jump the curb and pray I don't kiss the post.

If he hadn't driven in front of me and STOPPED, I wouldnt have kissed the ****** post.

You'll have to clarify...he was in the right lane, slows down and stops to turn into the 7/11, you're in the left lane, fail to correctly judge his actions, then swerve wildly and nail a pole? Or, he's in the left lane in front of you, moved over to pull into the 7/11 and stops? Or, he's oncoming, turning left, and turns in front of you?

In the first two scenarios, YOU would probably be at fault.

What's the speed limit on this road? I haven't seen many roads with a limit of 50MPH that have direct turnoffs to 7/11s.

You are so full of sh!t... the other guys insurance wouldnt pay you jack... you didnt collide with his car you collided with a pole. They would absolutely fight this all the way... REGARDLESS of any police report... I know I've been through it.

SHENS SHENS SHENS... if you have the police report... show it... or show the car, or show us SOMETHING that says you're anything but a lying sack of attention whoring ass grease.

What's the speed limit on this road? I haven't seen many roads with a limit of 50MPH that have direct turnoffs to 7/11s.

I was headed westbound, outside lane. He was headed eastbound, turning into a northerly direction (7-11).

4 lane road with continuous left turn lane. He left turned, moved into inside lane and my lane and stopped. If he gunned it, he probably would have made it. If he didnt, I would have clipped him if I didnt swerve left. He came halfway out, stopped and to avoid him, I went right and caught the pole.

I don't see a deployed airbag. Is that all the damage? How the hell is that totalled?

Re-read the post. HAD I decided to stay in my lane, not hit the curb at 40, kiss the post, and sign and hit him head on - I merely stated that both airbags would have blown and both vehicles would be likely totalled.

I suspect unibody damage, but the door dosen't open and the fender hits the tires now when going over speedbumps.

The car no longer drives straight either.
