I Got Broadsided On My Way Home From Work

Sounds very frightening and painful. I do imagine you will hurt like crazy for several days, but will slowly start to feel better. It's a huge shock to your system and it's gonna take a while.

And I'm hoping you get the best possible insurance result too. (The other driver's admission that she didn't see you should help, even though the accident was clearly her fault.)

Oh wow, Kat... Scary, scary shit!

Glad to hear you are still with us and for the most part alright.

Kat,
I hope you just get better and better.

I had a moment on the road where I thought of you and this situation. I was just driving along and I see a car about to turn left onto the road. There was like a turn lane in the middle so I figured she was going for that and then would move over after I passed. People do that lots around here and it scares me every time.

Anyway, make a long story short, she didnt stop, so I layed on my horn to try to make her stop, but in the end, I went up on the curb to my right, and she just drove off ahead. Later up the road, I pulled long side her and noticed her handicapped sticker/age. She was quite old. There comes a point people...

I was actually wondering the same thing. Because the damage is so bad it looks like she must have been going pretty fast

I'm so sorry to hear about your accident, but I'm glad you're doing okay. Take care, and I hope you start to feel better soon.

I saw a bigass accident on the way to mass at my church tonight and thought about you. I hope things work out with the insurance, I hate screwing with insurance companies.

Actually, in Michigan we have to have no-fault, not at-fault, so insurance doesn't cover the damage unless you have an additional collision policy or something else like that.

I use this page as a reference:

Theoretically, it will make your insurance cheaper. But you will need to know all the coverages you purchase for the car.

car accidents are not cool

Good luck with everything, Bonochick

I got a copy of the accident report. The girl who hit me is 17 years old, and she was issued a citation for failure to yield.

So what happens to this 17 year old girl? Aside of course from her insurance rates skyrocketing once your claim is closed?

Failure to yield, huh? And how fast was she going into that intersection when she collided with your car?

OMG...I just saw this thread
