A Fire Truck Crushed My Skyline!

[RWD GTR DRIFTER]

A fire truck crushed my Skyline!

The car was unregistered, Will it be covered by their insurance?

Can anyone recommend a quality Japanese Import Specialist repair shop? It would be much appreciated.

Also I tried to post pictures but they are to large how do I reduce there size?

Thanks in Advance.

Imgur can reduce size when uploading.

Sad to hear brah.

Upload the pictures to tiny URL, google it, you can choose the size.

Sucks about the car though.

rego and insurance are two different things

dont see why it wouldnt be covered

^ as above.

Only reason it wouldn't be would be if it was illegally parked or similar (in front of a fire hydrant etc, you get nothing back if they have to smash your windows as a result IIRC).

Nope even if illegally parked, the stationary car is never at fault. The driver should be aware of the surroundings

Thread lacks pics.

Sorry for your loss.

To a point - if you are illegally parked, or really where you should not - it'd be an interesting court case to see if you'd be able to recoup the costs or not.

I know I'd be favouring the firemans judgement if it was a very serious fire and shit needed to happen.

Without the full information it's really hard to say either way, and his insurance would still cover it regardless.

i'm thinking unregistered = un insured.

I know my laid up insurance for the stang does not cover it on the street.

and most other insurances only cover registered cars

that said, more info needed, did the truck run into it?

did they "move" it as it was a issue

did they kill it whilst on fire!!

[Down_Shift]

I'm with Justcar Insurance and I remember being told that they only cover registered vehicles.... so depends who your insurance is too.

[Johnie]

You can still be covered

My mate got paid out 6k from a drunk driver who smacked into his unreg vx that had permit, after the crash this is how the cars sat both written off and the skyline was touched with a scratches on the 1/4 panel, this was 2 years ago

would be a pretty interesting case if in an emergency actually

Their insurance covers your damages.

Providing you/your car - doing nothing illegal at the time of the accident.

(i.e: you or someone else were not driving it at the time of the accident and it was parked legally)

Unregisterd makes insurance of the vehicle null n void and no third party/property. It can not be on a road.

Different matter if insured and in storage.

So your saying that if you're park in a disables spot without a permit, and someone drives into you it's your fault? Or if you have broken down on the left lane in the freeway, and someone drives into you, it's still your fault. Saying that your parked illegally is a very broad overview. As ash said above it would only be in extreme cases like parking in front of a fire hydrant or of the sort

Had a mate who was hit by a police car on his motorbike in a regular traffic incident, apparently the police cars roof lights were on so it voided any chance of their insurance covering the damage (his bike was uninsured - silly man). This is what he told me anyway.

Neither in the examples you have decided to provide.

Vehicle is stationary. Negligence on behalf of the driver of the moving vehicle.

"Broad overview" - yep ok.

[Sunkist]

That's what I said, you said if the car was parked illegally it would be the stationary vehicles fault, or implied that way at least. So yeh, it is a broad overview

[Sinista32]

yes your right Aaron, I'm wrong, and I accept that

[RWD GTR DRIFTER]

Ok the car is covered by there insurance!!

[Odium]
