Was in a Car Accident this morning..

[kimboe]

Glad your ok, Hopefully your insurance doesn't go up to high.

[Barbara]

I'm so sorry Kim- but glad you're ok!
I also hate to give up a car once I'm used to it. This is why I drive my 11 year old 160000 miles BMW and hope to drive it for some more years. If someone hit my bumper it would be a total loss .

Wow I also have a 2000 Grand Am (well, a GT) and I am very curious to see the pictures of the car if you get around to taking them... just to see how sturdy the car is! How fast was she going???

Because of the shock of the whole thing, I thought, oh...the Body Shop can just put new doors on it!

Well, the fender is also bent and the roof buckled a little and dad thinks the undercarriage might also have some damage.

Not sure how fast she was going. It sure looked like she was coming at me fast when I saw her out of the corner of my eye! I'd guess 20 mph.

Isn't that technically speeding in a parking lot, though? Isn't it a general rule that in parking lots the speed limit is 15MPH?

But ugh kind of scary nontheless

EDIT: Ah nevermind you had just pulled OUT of hte entrance, I thought you said you pulled UP to lol

[Lady's Human]

Glad you're okay.

It sounds like the car has driven it's last mile. If the roof buckled, the unibody is probably damaged. Even if they did fix it, it would never drive the same again.

[ramanth]

Yeah, I pulled out of one entrance and was already driving down the road when she pulled out of the other driveway and hit the side of my car.

I don't think she fully stopped to look for traffic... probably just yielded long enough and accelerated out and into me.

[jackie]

I glad no one was seriously injured, and hope everything is sorted out ASAP.

(((hugs)))

I am so sorry that your car is totalled = But I am glad you are ok & not hurt.. & your right the lady was prob. on the cell phone or something with distraction..

[Maya & Inka's mommy]

I'm so sorry....
It is scary hey when something like this happens... . Good thing is that you aren't hurt badly! Be sure that your witness is heard by the insurance company too. Wow, here it is forbidden to phone while driving!

[ramanth]

Wow, here it is forbidden to phone while driving!

They are working on making it against the law here. Hasn't happened yet though.

Handy when you are in an accident... a pain when it's the cause.

[anna_66]

Kimmy I'm really sorry to hear you had another accident. This is the same car that got hit last year isn't it? People need to pay more attention to what their doing!

I hate that your starting to hurt now, I hope it doesn't get any worse.

And like Tubby & Peanut's Mom said...at least you get a new car out of it

[lizbud]

I'm so sorry to hear about the accident.Major bummer.
I am glad you were'nt seriously hurt. May want to take a couple Tylanol
or something before going to bed tonight.Soft tissue damage usually
doesn't show up till later.

[cyber-sibes]

oh, sorry about your car but thank God YOU are alright, Kim! And at least the silver lining is that you have insurance and you can always replace a car, unlike body parts! Take a good long soak in the tub before bed, maybe it'll help.

[Laura's Babies]

I'd like to know why she didn't get a ticket... To me it sounds like the officer thinks you both were responsiable for the accident. I would have insisted she get a ticket!

Be prepared, they (insurance companies) are going to want to know what YOU did to prevent the accident... They always have to ask that, even if you were at a dead stop, waiting for a light and someone rear ends YOU!...
and yup, wait until in the morning to see how you feel. I would take something tonight at bedtime to try to ward off any stiffness/soreness in the morning.

I had a friend that was rear ended on her way to work one day. She was fine and went on to work. She worked for 2 1/2 days... on that 3rd day, she sat down and her legs went out on her completely, couldn't feel them or use them and she was rushed to the hospital where she ended up in traction from that wreck.
