So, yesterday I got into a car accident. I was coming down a one way road and the other person (an elderly lady) was coming out a residential area. I had the right of way and the woman coming out of the residential kept creeping out more and more to turn, so I slowed but then she just stopped and stayed stopped as if she was going to yield, so I proceeded to keep going. I think she miscalculated her timing because as I was driving and finally approached her car to pass, she proceeded to go and rammed her SUV right into my Honda Accord. I tried swerving out of the way as my dad was my passenger but an island blocked me and I had no escape. She hit me so hard on my passenger side that I was actually knocked onto oncoming traffic and my right side is totaled. She even knocked my mirror off, which flew into my window. This morning, her insurance company admitted fault and said they would pay for the damages. I drive a coop, so I know they will be needing to replace my whole right side and most likely fix the electrics since my mirrors, window, and locks are electric. My question is, do you think they will fix my car or give me a settlement? If they do give me a settlement, how does it work?
