Here in Chicago, the police do not come out to accidents if there are no injuries. They are supposed to come out if the accident involves injuries, like in this case, but my family members is a paramedic and claims the police don't show up even with injuries.
Got rear ended again (mild story)

Did the motorcycle move your Jeep onto the curb? If so, that guy has to be hurting! Fortunately you are ok. Uninsured motorists suck.

Attorney won’t give you the time of day unless he’s in it to win at least $10k. A damaged car won’t pique an attorney’s interest. Small claims is your only hope.
Uninsured motorist insurance is very inexpensive to add to one's policy. We upped ours from 100K to 300K after my wife's bad experience 12 years ago.
Yes.
I saw it behind the body shop yesterday, it doesn't seem to be sitting level
Could be a tire got damaged, possibly a bent control arm or rim?
Mufflers destroyed, there's more underbody damage than I thought
Fixable, but I'm gonna spend forever with a shop vac and goggles cleaning it out
And anyone that's ever broke a window knows you never really get all the glass out
NYPD trials that in different areas at different times
If there's injury or ambulance, they have to come
If there's property damage or a vehicle is rendered undrivable, they have to come
Same for biohazard or fuel/environmental spills, they have to respond
Minor fender benders with mutual exchanging of information and or dashcam footage, you can write the report yourself
Good news is the OP is OK.
Lower control arms don’t take much to bend. I’m sure the shop will figure it out. He had to be going pretty good to move you!
When you have something to lose, you should buy insurance. I looked at my collision coverage about $250-$350 a year for each vehicle. Probably about 1/25-1/35 the value of the cars so I think you'd have to go 25-35 years not carrying it to break even. Less hassle than trying to self insure and when you do that, you might lose the game, it'd be the same deal if it was a hit and run, especially now with all the drunks and people high on drugs.
Do they speak English?

People are dying to get into that funeral home, but come on youngster no need to speed up the process.
In my situation, NO
NO Insurance
NO Registration
NO License
I sued in small claims court (and won), .... didn't get a dime .... they are dead-beats.
And the next day I got to write a check for $26,000 for another vehicle.
Young and dumb. I'm glad you are ok, and glad he didn't kill himself.
I was young and dumb once too and have the scar on my knee to prove it. However, I wasn't quite THAT dumb......

Glad you're OK.
When I see guys riding with sandals or flip flops, I always wonder--if they lost one, how long would it take to sand a foot down to the bone?

Why did you pull this thread out of the basement?Young and dumb. I'm glad you are ok, and glad he didn't kill himself.

Why does it concern you?
Because it is "THAT dumb".
So why keep bringing it up? Now that's what I call "dumb"
depends on the car...I would think a jeep would be a little more stout. I know the LCA's on my ZR2 are very thick cast iron.
