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.

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.

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.

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)))))))))

Verdict is in: Car is a Total Loss.

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
