    Could have been worse. You might be able to squeeze a rental out of them.

    Seriously? People are so damn dumb. I got so tired of hearing people tell me, "he shouldn't have been parked there, THEY WERE ILLEGALLY PARKED!" Shut the hell up.

    Anyway, good luck Doc, let me know if you have any questions.

    The "he shouldn't have parked there" argument is totally invalid. YOU CRASHED YOUR VEHICLE INTO A STATIONARY OBJECT. lol

    My wife plowed into a parked construction trailer in the hood that was ALWAYS in the same spot and marked with cones.

    Not a scratch on the trailer really.

    Totaled her Suby (IMHO). Alas, insurance company fixed it. Damn car never dove right after so we traded it.

    Waiting to hear back from Frank Azar ahahaha. As I told my son, that's why it's called an accident and I greatly appreciate that she rang the door bell to let him know. Our street gets very icey and she was probably going just a bit too fast.

    Arapahoe Co has a link on the SO's web page to print out a report, done and going in the mail today. No need for the driver to get in trouble.

    Here's a pic my son took. You can see the front of his Xterra parked behind mine, amazing she missed it. The service rep I spoke with from Progressive was very pleasant, had spoken to the young woman that hit me already and she told her she lost it coming up the street and hit the parked car. Mine is absolutely legally parked against the curb in front of my home on a very quiet residential street. Most folks in my neighborhood park at least one vehicle on the street-as seen the photo. Between the motorcycle in the garage, my work truck in the driveway I have no where else to park-nor should I.

    Doesn't matter if you were legally parked or not. You've got no liability here.

    Personally I wouldn't even talk the their insurance company. I'd contact mine and have them handle it. That's what I pay them for.

    Doesn't matter either way. Better off talking to the claimant carrier in my opinion.
