I would hope it's totaled. The damage (while repairable) to the drivetrain will likely cause alot of problems down the road, even after repaired. The trucking company is definately at fault, unless you signed for them to tow it, as there is usually a waiver of some sort in the contract...

The car doesn't steer. after the accident i tried to get out of the way, but the steering was non-existent, so i just went straight to the side of the curbed 2 lane road, which was the only place i could go since the car was pointing that way.

Also, I hope you got the contact information of some witnesses. Did the lady in the PT get a ticket? If she didn't, I guarantee you the reason was that she told the cop, "the light was green, he just pulled right out in front of me." He looked at some punk in a ricer vs. some lady in a 'respectable' car and decided to believe her instead of you. If you both got tickets, the cop was just being a dick. Either way I would fight it in court.

Well the light turned yellow and then she slowed down, i saw her nose go down drastically, i started to turn, she accelerated and hit me. She was clearly on medication, not joking she was in a drug haze but the cop wouldn't let us know what meds she was on, Illegal or legal i think i had the right to know. f'n hippa laws though.She told the cop it was green. Teenager? or 55 year old lady? The cop wouldn't even let me talk about my story.

Keep the picture of the car on the tow truck. You'll need it when you have to sue the towing company.

Man that whole situation just totally sucks. Sorry to hear about all the BS you've had to go through man. I would definetely be suing the towing company. You should file a complaint at the police station that the cop wouldn't even let you tell your side of the story. As for that stupid lady, she deserves a large mail bomb sent to her.

Oh yeah, if thats true,( i know it is but that doesn't make it any less B******T), the cop, being fair should have issued 2 tickets. 1 to me for failure to yield, and 1 to her for running a red light.
True? or False?
