Odds are if you were in accident someone got a ticket. If the lady hit you, an she is at falt. Get yourself a lawyer and put your car in a Ford Dealership. They can fix it as long as you don't have any frame damage. An the lawyer will get you the money you are due to fix the car back operating condition. Don't let them bullly your ass arond. Get a lawyer. You will get your car fixed. I hope the person whom hit you at least had insurance? Full coverage and your stang will be back on the road. Just one more thing when you get a lawyer they take a thrid unless you pay them out of pocket. you can get an easy 10k out the insurance company. (5.0 should be about 10 years old). She (old women) hit a classic car. $$$$$$
