Shrink, once John's insurance company pays the claim for the collison damage they will have subrogation rights against the woman. The fact that she is not now financially able to pay does not matter. They probably will get a judgment against her. It is good for at least 10 years. Who knows, she may win a lottery.

Sorry John, but the cops should have arrested you for cruelty to your Porsche. The paint is swirl city. If you are going to get a black car, then you need to learn how to maintain it. And the swirls are pretty apparent just from the flash of your camera. I can just imagine how bad it looks in direct sunlight. Hopefully, you take your car to a really good body shop who will buff out your car properly and get rid of the swirls.

Actually some waxes will hide the defects. I am talking about how to wash the car without instilling swirls in the first place. It really does not take any more effort not to add swirls.
The other day I saw this guy in a fairly new Vanquish or DB9. It was black and the car was clean. Unfortunately, he car was swirl city and the car looked horrible in sunlight.

Insurance said not to claim against the car directly behind me because they're just going to say they were pushed into me anyway which is correct. So my claim will be covered under uninsured motorist coverage and then they will try to go after the crackhead woman who hit the car behind me.
I have an appointment at the body shop this afternoon. I can't open the engine compartment because the deck lid is bent.. but the car seems to be running fine. I'm not so worried about a perfect repair, just the hassle of having a rental and waiting etc etc... it's just a pain in the ass..... Also - It's a LEASE... I WAS thinking of buying the car at the end of the lease - but no more - Now I'll get a new one !!!
You're better off because it is a lease. If it was financed you would be the one hurt in the re-sale value.

The fact that it's leased won't help. Upon lease turn-in, the car will be inspected for all types of damage, especially evidence of accident repair, which they will find no matter how well the repair is done. They will most certainly devalue the car appropriately and he will have to pay for the loss of value out of his pocket (or buy the car). I've been through all this before.

You now what that means...
Expect a lawsuit since you are the only one that has insurance and you were in the way of the guy behind you.
