Slick, my friend, I hope you are feeling better this evening!
Lots of prayers and HUGS being sent your way!!!
Best thoughts and wishes to you Slick. Get well soon mate.
I've been driving since 1969 and this has been my first rather serious accident. I've only had two other "fender-benders" with very little damage.
Here's what happened. I was driving down a busy street - 2 lanes - I was in the lane closest to the oncoming traffic as I had to turn left at the bottom of the hill. To my left is a very wide boulevard with grass and trees and to the left of that was the oncoming traffic. Anyway, about 2 blocks before the bottom of the hill, a small VW hatchback tried to cross the two lane road and before I knew it, she was right in front of me and we t-boned, then my car veered off to the boulevard and crashed head on into a tree. She came from a side street and had a stop sign. I had the right of way. As far as I'm concerned, it's 100% her fault. Neither one of our airbags deployed.
I got out and called 911 and within 3 min. there were two ambulances and police on the scene. I think the other driver may have gotten some witnesses because as I was walking towards her car I could see someone punching in some numbers to his cell phone. I had no time for witnesses because the ambulance driver whisked me into the back to check me over.
We both went to the hospital in the same ambulance...me on my own steam and her on a stretcher. She complained about a sore head, ribs and left ankle. Right now, I only have only a very sore upper back, shoulders and neck. Oh yes...I drive a Chevy Blazer and the whole front end is damaged but that's all. It just confirms my opinion that I feel safer in an SUV than a sedan. Her small car had the whole driver's side pushed in the broken glass all over the place.
I've made all the appropriate arrangements....contacted all the appropriate insurance people and already have a rental car which my insurance covers. Now, it's a question of liability. Who knows what stories she can conjure up and have her witnesses say. I'm sick over this.
Thanks for your prayers and {{{hugs}}} to all.
xoxoxo
I for one, am just glad that you are here to tell us all about it and for us to offer you support, prayers and love.
Crashed into a tree? Good grief - not your average day event!
So sorry to hear this!! I am glad you are O.K, with no SERIOUS injuries. Good luck with all the insurance issues and all that good stuff!
Slick,
Oh how I wish I had your home phone number....when I moved to CiCi and Phil's, I didn't print out my contacts correctly and only have your work number.
Slick, my mom is a auto claims adjuster...has been for over 30 years for State Farm Insurance. I'll tell her what happened. I have a feeling all your adjuster has to do is see WHERE it happened and you'll be proved NOT LIABLE. Its obvious SHE pulled out in front of you, without any time for you to avoid her. All trained claim reps can look at the situation and see that.
Call me this weekend on my cell if you can, I'll be spending the weekend with my parents. I'm sure my mom would be happy to talk to you, honey.
I'll keep you in my prayers. How are you feeling??
Love ya,
Kelly :)
my prayers are to Slick good luck!!!!!!!
Slick I'm so sorry to hear about what happened. I'm happy that you are well enough to be able to come and update. I'll be sending prayers for a speedy recovery and that everything works out in your favor.
I'm so sorry to hear about your accident, Slick. I hope you'll be alright and that you'll get another car without a lot of expense. But, they can be replaced, you can't. Take care.
glad you were feeling up to updating us Slick.
Will continue to keep you in my thoughts and prayers.

Whew! I'm just so happy that your safe and not seriously injured. That's what counts. I'll be praying that you feel better and that everything works out in your favor.

Slick, I'm just glad you're ok, and that you have a good insurance company that is taking care of you. You will be sore for a few days. I know I was sore for 3 or 4 days and I just had a minor fender bender.
Don't worry yourself too much over this. I did the same thing when I had my accident - especially since it really could have been viewed as being my fault. The people were overly dramatic over the whole thing, and I could just see them taking me/my insurance company to the cleaners, but what I found out is that your insurance company is no dummy. They're looking out for themselves, which ultimately turns out to be good for you. They have complete departments for watching out for fraud and they will do their durn best to make sure it's the other lady's fault and that her insurance company takes the brunt of the financial hit - mainly because they don't want to take the hit. I put it in my insurer's hands and they handled it. They made a few phone calls to me to get details, but other than that, they dealt with the other people and the other insurance company.
So, don't worry yourself sick over it because it will all be alright. :)
{{{hugs}}}
Oh, Slick! I do hope you are feeling better today!
Glad to hear your alright Slick!
Slick, Thank God you are okay. I was so scared when I saw the title of this thread! :( You are in my thoughts and prayers. What a traumatic thing to deal with :(. I'm just so grateful that you are not seriously injured.
I am glad to hear that you weren't seriously hurt. Thoughts and prayers going out for a quick recovery of the aches and pains, and that all turns out well with the insurance companies.
I *just* read this. That's terrible. I am glad you are alright!
Oh no good vibes coming your way Slick {{Hugs}}.
How're you feeling today, Slick?
Still in my thoughts and prayers!
Ohhh Slick! I'm sorry I'm just now seeing this. I'm so relieved to hear that you weren't seriously injured. I hope you aren't feeling too sore today. That must have been a scary thing. I hope the insurance gets everything sorted out and things come out ok for you.
{{{BIG HUGS}}}
I am so glad to hear that you are doing all right...that it wasn't too terribly serious...a car accident took my father's life, it was hard for me to post on this thread right away...but, I'm glad to hear that it wasn't your time to go.
