Some insurance company now give you an "extra check", i.e. for "loss value compensation", which is totally separate to the amount for fixing the car.
I got free clear tails with my ride.....
Well daggum...finally got some pics in a gallery consisting of her car/my car/skid marks....enjoy

the skid mars are a white color and they are VERY long from 2 doors up all the way in front of our home.. you can see the skid marks Bradys car made as well..
Her charges at this time are: Reckless Driving, Under Age Drinking, No Seatbelt, past curfuey (sp) for anyone under 18, Speeding, Too Fast for Conditions, and 6 other charges that the Officers couldn't name off the top of his head.
NO DUI because she blew .075 and the limit is .08.. but the way they did the charge's and wrote the report the Judge here will get the FULL picture and lets just say the lady judge isn't nice to TEENS or Drinkers..
As for the mom (Charge's are pending the invistigation) and they have HIGH hopes of nailing her this time!
yes I said this time!
The young lady did Break her arm OHH too sad (NOT)
I called the police back out to measure the Skid marks they are doing that 07-08-05 during daylight!
I would go for everything you can Brady.. MOMMIE came looking for you today worried you will sue her.. OH her insurance is Cotton STATES..
yeah the judge doesn't like teen drinkers cause her son was killed by a teenage drinker/driver if i remeber correctly.

yes dear Brady that would be the same judge!!
almost the same thing as yours.. except her son was the passenger of the car the drunk hit they were out front of a friends home talking
if I remember that story right..
Well, what would you sue for, though? I mean, you can sue to get you back to what you "had" provided that their insurance doesn't cover everything. However, to get "above and beyond" what you had typically won't happen since you weren't injured (or even in the car for that matter). You can sue for depreciated value caused by the wreck, perhaps.

No DUI? No, I don't believe that is correct. Remember, she is UNDER 21, so anything over .01 or .02 for someone under 21 in the state of GA should be a DUI; minor under the influence or something. If she was 21 or over, she would be okay.
Brady, DO NOT talk to the mother about this in all honesty. You should probably retain a lawyer if you plan to sue. What you say to a private party can hurt you in court at times. You can always retain a lawyer and they will sue for their wages included with your case if need be. Seriously, do not talk to the mother about the case. Let someone familiar with the legal system speak on your behalf.

i'm sorry sir but you are wrong... It is now zero tolerance in Georgia whether you are 21 or not, if you blow a .000001 you get a DUI and you go to jail. They changed the laws, so if they let her off without a DUI then she probably knows people, or the cop is dumb as hell, or maybe her drunk mom fucked the cop? Who knows but that should have been Reckless Driving(bc of the accident), Minor Possession through consumption(bc she's underage), and also a DUI(bc she was driving while intoxicated)
Ok thanks I'm done I am a Criminal Justice Major that's how I know all of that

I've been in the law system for about 25 years, myself (father was a judge for 25 years, he is a lawyer, my brother is a lawyer, uncle is a DA, etc). I have sat in court for about 15-17 of those years; watching, learning. Trust me on this one.
The limit in GA is still 0.08 for people 21 and over. Under 21 is still 0.02 grams.
(5) The person´s alcohol concentration is 0.08 grams or more at any time within three hours after such driving or being in actual physical control from alcohol consumed before such driving or being in actual physical control ended; or
(6) Subject to the provisions of subsection (b) of this Code section, there is any amount of marijuana or a controlled substance, as defined in Code Section 16-13-21, present in the person´s blood or urine, or both, including the metabolites and derivatives of each or both without regard to whether or not any alcohol is present in the person´s breath or blood.
Sorry, but according to the GA code on under 21 that is online, you are wrong.
http://www.legis.state.ga.us/legis/2.../40-6-391.html
(k)(1) A person under the age of 21 shall not drive or be in actual physical control of any moving vehicle while the person´s alcohol concentration is 0.02 grams or more at any time within three hours after such driving or being in physical control from alcohol consumed before such driving or being in actual physical control ended.
http://www.admin.co.fayette.ga.us/co...icitor.htm#act
Zero tolerance for alcohol usage by drivers under the age of 21 years.
A driver under 21 years old is guilty of DUI if his alcohol concentration is 0.02 grams or more.
I'm doing my best to pull GA code here, but if you will show me the new law I will gladly retract my statements.

Yeah, when it comes to GA law, if I can't find it in the GA code, I have infinite resources who will help to clear things up. I wasn't trying to battle swtgapeach421, but knowing the exact law makes a big difference when dealing with situations such as this.
The GA Code online, however, is an incredible resource. I am glad that she was charged with a DUI. Hopefully this will work out well for you. I hate it when bad things happen to good, innocent people. Good luck!

Yes and no. it WILL kill the resale that is correct. there is away you can compensate for that... when the adverse carrier offers to cut you a check for DV or dimished value or whatever it is they call it (the value a car loses because of being in an accident) deny it. tell them you want to have a private appraiser take a look at your car. it will cost you some out of pocket expense but instead of them cutting you a check for 400 bucks as deamed the minimum by the mabry case you can pay out 1-400 bucks for an inspection and get a check for several hundred more. unless you feel their estimate is accurate, which on newer cars it generally is.. on older cars you really lose money.
oh and sorry about your luck, i would have flicked a cigarette on the camary and went back to bed.
:boobies:
Sorry to see that, Brady. Especially to your brand new car. The grill from afar does kinda look cool how it's so open. (Optimistically speaking.) Good luck with it.

Yes, I would have voted for her.

sorry bout the Volvo Brady...makes me uneasy to park out in front of Beckie and Brian's house now...
That is one reason we use Grandma's drive and park in the front yard so much.. We have always said sooner or later some dumb ass was going to hit one of the cars!
As for the DUI thing charges were still pending more investigations and such.. So in the end I am sure they will get everything they can on her!! The Cop was pissed!!
I am just glad it wasn't a normal night for our house.. Were Brady would have been in his spot, then Terrence, then Mark, and sometimes Kemo.. cause she would have messed up several cars!!
It makes me sick to my stomach and I feel terriable that it happen..
I kinda got tickled tonight when I got home I pull up and Brady is parked in the driveway.. instead of his normal spot..
I am just thankful no one was really hurt.. the cars can be fixed or replaced.. a life can't!
