Default car accident

my mom was in a car accident in my Accord. let me assure you that she is fine (thank God) my mom was headed to work. she had the green turn arrow when the stupid b*!#h on the other side turning right didn't yield to her, i won't get to see it till tomorrow. will post pics then. she said that i have some fender damage and turn signal damage but it wasn't too bad. i don't know if she means the bumper signal or the corner light. car is still drivable.

UPDATE:
cell phone pics my mom sent me. will have better pics tomorrow when she gets home with it.

The damage is in a good spot(if there was ever a good spot to get hit). I would imagine you could find a fender and a corner light for real cheap.

If the same dent had been put in the quarter panel you would be looking at $1,000 minimum to replace.

yea that is definitely true. atleast this panel is removable (instead of having to CUT it out)
