Brakes Didn't Stop the Car
by Brenda
(VA)
I was not following anybody when I turned on Merrimac Trail to head home from training for a new security officer position. When I saw the other vehicle had stopped to make a left turn. I put on the brakes hard, but my vehicle skidded and kept moving hitting the right side of the back of his vehicle.
This is what I told the other driver. I even asked the other driver to call 911. The police officer who reported the accident scene faulted me with the accident after she spoke with the driver.
I only had Liability with Geico. Ever since the accident the Geico representatives have been rude, and do not want anything to do with me; since I been faulted for the accident.
The damage to my vehicle comes to $4,175.05, with some hidden damage. This is a new car, and I owe on an auto loan (amount deleted). My car payment will be due Feb 14th, all my bills will be late.
My job as a security officer is in Richmond, Va., and I am living and visiting Williamsburg for a year now. The vehicle is registered in California still.
