I just got into a car accident today |
|
My roomie and I were looking at a house from the back (the alleyway). When I drove to the end of the driveway, I stopped and waited for traffic, and someone--a nurse, mind you--backed her SUV into the right back wheelwell of my Jeep. We both had to go to the ER to get checked and, even though I didn't feel as if I were hurt right afterwards, we both suffered whiplash. The thing was, I didn't think I was injured until hours after the crash.
The old lady who backed into me admitted fault. I called my insurance company and they told me the lady who hit me already called admitting fault. Then I called their insurance company and made a phone report. Contrary to my prior belief, I did end up hurt and put on muscle relaxants. The ER doc even suggested I get a lawyer.
If I'm off DU, it's because I'll be too knocked cold to do so.

3. If she has a legit injury due to the fault of another, she should be compensated |
|
for any costs, lost wages and damages.

4. Sorry to hear about your |
|
accident. An accident can be more traumatic than one expects.
I hope that you enjoy a speedy and complete recovery and that you and the "old lady", and her insurance can come to a mutual agreement.

6. I have to fill out an insurance form for the hospital |
|
At least the driver who backed into me gave me her insurance info so they can pay the hospital bill. I didn't think I was hurt, but that was because my adrenaline wouldn't let me feel the pain.
I got put on muscle relaxants to take when I need them. Now my lower back hurts like hell. :hurts:
