Was in a Car Accident this morning..

Kimmy,

Glad to hear you're okay. Just remember that you'll start to feel achy within 24-48 hours after you're hit. It's best to be checked out immediately after it happens, just in case there IS something, God forbid, wrong.

Always remember to look to your left FIRST. Why you ask??? Cuz if you pull out and you're gonna get hit, it's gonna be from traffic coming from the left first.

((((((HUGS)))))))))

I'm glad your OK! I hope your car gets fixed as soon as possible!

When I read the title of this thread, I thought "Oooohhh nooo!"
Thank the lord that you are alright, and not hurt!

Glad you're okay, take an aspirin tonight before bed if your body is okay with aspirin. My friend the MD told me that once, said I wouldn't be as stiff in the morning. I trust you did get yourself checked out just in case? How sad for your poor little car, gone to that junkyard in the sky at such an early age ...

Cars are better engineered, I think, for being hit front or back than they are from the side.

Poor little car.

Kimmy, I'm just glad you're okay. I hope the car isn't too badly damaged. After the incident I had a week or so ago .... it's scary being in something like that. Glad you're safe. GA

Kimmy, I'm sorry to hear about your accident but I'm glad to hear that you're alright. I hope that you won't become too sore and that everything works out for you. Take care.

These things are so frightening. Thank God you are alright. I sure am sorry about your car. It is late here, so you must already be asleep. I hope you get a good nights rest and aren't too sore in the morning.

oh no!! i'm sorry to hear about your car... but im glad you're o.k.

So if the officer didn't give her a ticket... is she still responsible ???

Oh, Kimmy, thank goodness you are ok. {{hugs}}

My sister (the driver) and I were in an accident along the same lines many years ago, difference was we were the ones coming out of a side road and were hit by a van and the car was a write-off. To this day I don't remember a thing about it, just getting into the car then waking up in hospital, but on seeing the car I realised how lucky we were to get out alive. Totally my sister's fault, she was drunk, and my own fault too for getting in the car with her knowing it.

I'm still pretty stiff and Ibuprofen doesn't seem to be doing the trick, so I have a doctor's appointment this morning. Wish me luck.

Hope everything checks out ok at the doctor's. We'll keep our paws crossed.

To answer some of your questions.

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!

Yep, same car, though the accident last year was my fault. I re-ended the car in front of me.

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!

I don't know and the more I think about it the more I get peeved. She claims it was her first accident ever. So I'm not sure why the officer decided to be lenient.

So if the officer didn't give her a ticket... is she still responsible ???

MI has this 'No Fault' policy. So even though the police found her at fault for causing the accident, all that means is that her insurance has to pay the deductible on my car. Then, because I have full coverage, my insurance company decides if it wants to have the car repaired or claim it a total loss and give me what they think the car is worth. :\

Minor whiplash. With daily stretches and Iburprofen I should be feeling better by next Wednesday.
