So Tuesday afternoon I was hungover was fug after New Years and I went to go get a bite to eat it was rainy outside and at a stop light my car hydroplaned as I was breaking and nudged the back of the car of the person in front of me. The only damage on her car was a tiny scratch that isn't even really noticeable. But apparently now she wants a whole new back bumper because of it. This is the first accident I've ever been at fault for so how much do you think my insurance will go up because of this?

Doesn't matter what she wants. It only matters what your insurance will pay for and if they think they can get away with a paint job...

...regardless, you did rear end her. A lot depends on how long you've been driving, how long you've been with your current insurance company, etc.

Basically you will now have a "1" in the rating system for at fault accidents. How much your rates go up will depend on your companies rating system which is based on lots of variables. One at fault accident may be offset by your good driving record. Some companies don't raise rates for 1 claim.

Or your rates may go up by 50%. It's so company specific that it is hard to give a number.

While there may have been no visible damage, bumpers usually have a piece of dense foam to absorb the impact. If this is damaged, which it is made to do, then it will need to be replaced. The next time they get hit they wont have that protection and the damage will be considerably more...

At least this is what was told to me when some jackleg ran into the back of my wife's car a few days ago....

Wait... Where did you say this happened??

      I am curious to see if Warren is the elite player that the Huddle Warren stans believe. I am always fairly wary of these first round TE's.

      The Rossi things isn't going away, either... https://www.thescore.com/nhl/news/3312416/unfinished-business-7-players-to-watch-in-back-half-of-nhl-offseason The Wild and Rossi shouldn't be having any trouble hammering out an extension. Rossi, an RFA turning 24 in September, recorded the second-most points on the team last season (60 in 82 games). The smart, skilled, highly competitive 5-foot-9 Austrian is a homegrown top-six center. Minnesota has $10 million in cap space and no other significant spots to fill to finalize its 2025-26 roster. Problems lurk below the surface, however. Coach John Hynes demoted Rossi to the fourth line in the playoffs, dropping his nightly usage from 18 minutes in the regular season to 11 in the first-round series loss to Vegas. GM Bill Guerin's top to-do list item at the moment is to lock up Kirill Kaprizov. The superstar winger, who's been eligible for an extension since July 1, is due for Leon Draisaitl-type money (around $14 million average annual value) starting in 2026-27. Guerin has said there's no rush to sign, trade, or match an offer sheet for Rossi. If he stays, a short-term extension makes sense, since it gives both player and team flexibility. If he leaves, a trade is far more likely than an offer sheet. Half of the league could use a second-line center, and Rossi still has upside. The Hurricanes desperately need to upgrade at 2C (Jesperi Kotkaniemi isn't going to cut it) and have plenty of cap space. Ditto for the Sabres, who picked Jack Quinn one spot before Rossi went to the Wild in the 2020 draft. Mammoth bench boss Andre Tourigny coached Rossi in junior, and they don't have as much wiggle room, but trading top-six winger Nick Schmaltz (plus a pick) could make the math work. Guerin wants to make a so-called "hockey trade" here.
