My first accident happened today.
So sad...insurance has not said what they will do yet till they see the damage and investigate what happened...no one is at fault yet...
my point of view...
i was going out to lunch during my break and was leaving out to get out of the parking lot. i backed out and was in the rows and heading north. there was another right turn to get out of the lot and i took the right and a infinity (suv) hits my drivers side. (stupid i know...)so turns out to be my friend. everyone is ok. cars however are not. my friend's bumper looks like its going to fall off and the fog light fell out...coolant leaking and when the engine starts sounds like the radiator fan was jammed against the edge. so heres the damage...
dont know if the frame is dented but looks like the fender and door will have to be repaired. bottom too.might be totaled. waiting on the claim service guy to call back
door is jammed...
hood will not shut....(i opened it after the crash and it wont shut now)
what do you think?

i compared it to the other door
looks like there might be a dent with the unibody
because its a deep dent and the doors jammed inside
the way the inside bends looks like it might done something to the frame work

As long as the sub-frame and suspension are OK I think insurance will fix it. If there is internal damage they may total it.

its an 05
i drove it home and it seems ok
the suspension seems a bit locked but it might be because the fender caved in
