Seriously? If officers got fired for getting into accidents, there would be 1/2 the number of officers patrolling our city streets. Fired??? GET REAL. It's called an ACCIDENT for a REASON.

I too, am glad the OP is okay. No one wants to see our Camaros get wrecked let alone see anyone get hurt in the ordeal. It's sad...and I'm SURE it will get fixed. And yes, the officer will get punished...as they all do when they are found at fault.

"days." The officer will most likely get a suspension. Not to diminish your ordeal/situation of what happened, but this stuff happens every day. Officers spend 8 hours or more behind the wheel of their car a day driving to and from calls. When you work behind the wheel of a car, your chances of getting into an accident skyrocket. It happens. The officer will be punished, so don't think he's getting off scott free.

Like I said, you need to get compensation for ALL of your losses and medical on this one! And I agree about your car. It should be replaced. An accident such as this one and the car will never ride the same.. Not to mention it, doesn't it devalue the car some after having been in an accident such as this one!?

loss in value should be included in the settlement.

Sorry. Roll with the punches and the car will be 100% fine if fixed by a good shop. I would demand you take the car where YOU want to have the repair done but you'll never get a new car out of that. I can't believe you even think you will.

Likely the same thing will happen to the cop that would happen to any of us for getting into an ACCIDENT. He will get a ticket and go on with life. It happens. Ease up. And fradulant medical claims... don't go there. If the airbags didnt deply and the car isnt that bad your "whiplash" claim isnt going to stand up.

Easy ways to tell the car is fine:

1. no broken glass
2. air bags didnt deploy
3. the passenger window is still seated so the door is not out of whack
4. nothing appears to have bent the wheels. the first two pics look like the wheel/fender gap is off in the front but the third pic it looks fine.
5. the gap between the front fender and door is even.
6. you obviously drove it somewhere after the accident b/c its parked by the curb in the photos.

Nice to see some common sense in here.

I agree with all of your points. I also agree that making certain fraudulent medical claims could open up a pretty large can of worms. If you are injured, go check yourself out. If not, don't say you are. Fraudulent insurance claims hurt us all and raise everyone's rates. IMO, the car is fixable and it'll run just fine. The diminished value will also be taken care of. Sell it once it gets fixed if you want it. But, if the damages do not total more than %70 of what the car is worth, it's getting fixed....no new car.

Regardless, OP, I hope you get taken care of. I hope you are healthy, your car gets fixed, and you know the other person involved in the accident is going to be held accountable for his/her actions just as anyone else in the same position (regardless of profession) would be.
