Thought about it because it's not like was I dying or heavily injured so I am going to see my PCP in the morning.

I am trying to not be one of those sue-happy people that is trying to take this kid for nothing that he has...but I will get my doc to check me out.

Also..maybe it's just the insurance law person in me, but I wouldn't necessarily post pictures or too much detail about the accident online.

gotcha...thank you

Glad you are not seriously hurt (that's "you" plural - you and the other driver).

I have both been there and done that. Connecticut drivers suck.

You could have whiplash - sometimes it isn't immediately evident, but you may be feeling it tomorrow morning.

Make sure your adjuster sees your car before you have ANY work done. I can pretty much guarantee you that you'll need a new bumper - bumpers typically protect you in collisions where your relative speed is < 5mph, and just by looking at the pictures of the other car, I can tell you the other driver was going faster than that.

Take care.

Daemon, I'm glad you're o.k. but still go to the doctor.

That happened to me. Only I'm pretty sure the guy was high because he yelled at me, lied to me, told the police he KNEW me and was following me from a club (I was coming back from Relay for Life in my lettters and shorts!). He had no insurance on the car (but he claimed he did and gave them the wrong info so I had to do all the run around to find out that I was getting nothing). He had a suspended license. AND I couldn't even reach him at his listed number. He had prior arrests for thefts in my county (Lord only knows about the county he lives in).

At least your guy was nice and HE got more severe damage. Why the police report lists his damage as more than mine when mine was clearly visible and his was not, I do not know...

glad to hear you're okay.

when I read the quoted line I almost did a double take because I thought it said you were going to do some PCP in the morning. Totally different meaning.

A few years ago, right after I got my new car, some bozo girl plowed in to my car. She had a bandage on her sprained wrist and she was trying to drive a stick shift.. She had only had the car for a short time and didn't know how to drive one!

Probably because I was:

1. Obeying the law and
2. Just a possibility that there was other traffic coming that I just SIMPLY could not drive into thus the YIELD SIGN in the first place?

How fast was the other car going? Uhhh being that I don't have EYES behind my head, I don't rightly KNOW!

Lighten up? I want you to put yourself in our places and
see how 'light' you could be especially if you haven't ever been there before.

I am cool actually and GLAD that I can somewhat laugh this off a bit.

BUT..You weren't there, you don't know what happened and your snark wasn't needed and would have been best kept to yourself.

Regardless of how much I may dislike someone, I can't bring myself down low enough to make light of a situation like this like you did.

And before you decide to go there, I don't plan on having an e-shouting match with you, if you want to be miserable, do so on your own time.

Yes lighten up.

If there was a yield sign for you to yield to, I'm guessing that you weren't on a major road and that the maximum speed limit would have been less than 30mph?

That was my point.

And actually had someone stupidly rear-ended me and jacked up their car and my car made it out ok I'd be laughing.

Posting threads like this is almost like the "OMG you guys are all mean I'm not coming back to GC give me sympathy wah wah wah".

I went there.
