Similar situation happened to me in high school when a kid hit me, the accident was declared no fault, I ended up having to pay for half the damages

I just went through this with my 400E. According to my attorney, as long as you are made "whole" by the insurance company you do not have a claim. If you were injured (My car was parked w/o me in it) you may have a claim.

Whole means you didn't have to pay anything out of pocket, you were offered full market value for your car, or it was repaired to your satisfaction. At the very least you should be driving around in a rental car. I had a POS 2010 Dodge Charger for a week. Oh and depending on YOUR insurance company, you may have to deal with the other persons insurance yourself. I am lucky because my attorney is a friend of mine and lives on the next block. Might be harder to get an attorney interested in your case, if you have one.

So the first step would be, copy of police report and contact her insurance to see if they accepted fault yet. The drunk guy that hit my 400E(I am mean totaled my 400E)... once his insurance, state farm, accepted fault(pretty much immediately) the ball was in motion. State farm was a pleasure to deal with actually.

I could have bought my 400E back for $500. I wanted to part it pretty bad, but my friend/attorney convinced me I had more important things to do with my time.

Goodluck

I'm confused. Why can a policeman/woman not arrest someone on private property if they know a crime(s) has been committed? I've seen many people arrested in public parking lots. Driving uninsured/unlicensed, being illegally in the country are both crimes in most states. Maybe unprosecuted crimes, but crimes nonetheless.

Sorry for the hijacking.

Driving unlicensed ON PRIVATE PROPERTY is not a crime. Unless the policeman saw the person driving on a public road, they haven't observed a crime being committed.

Many police departments in larger cities have a policy of not enforcing immigration law, and leaving that up to the INS. It's a controversial position. The idea is they don't want people in the illegal immigrant population being afraid to go to the police if they're aware of some other crime that's been committed. Bad things happen socially when you have a large underclass of people who feel they can't trust the authorities.

Ive had that sig for a long time. Ive been driving it alot more recently, and everyday it grows more on me.

... your sig line says you're trying to sell it anyway.
Take the settlement and walk away.

What are the legalities of rolling back the odometer on your own car?
