Title: I got rear-ended today
Post by: Reb on January 13, 2009, 11:25:52 AM: Stupid :nsfw didn't see me slowing down for the roundabout. :-\

Fun fact: my fully insured rental car didn't even have a scratch, her dumb-mobile was smashed up and leaking fluid like crazy.

I had to lay on the breaks when I was going 70 mph. I could have easily just nudged the driver side back corner and made them go sideways into the start of the cement divider. But I decided to spare their lives at the last second. :maf

The rear bumper of my car got a small puncture, but otherwise no damage, not even a dent. The front of the CRX shattered and fell off. Bumper, grill, radiator, everything basically down to the frame.

People who don't pay attention to the road = FAIL.

If you got rear-ended by a driver that didn't see you slowing down, doesn't it make the other driver 100% liable?

I guess so, but I have nothing to lose financially. I can totally wreck this car without consequences.

And physically I felt fine, although Nikki is freaking me out now...

Well it's good money isn't an issue! And I'm sorry. :( It is important to get yourself checked though. When you get into an accident, adrenaline pumps through your body so you don't feel the extent of your injuries. Sometimes they don't show up for a few days even.

I got into an accident right before Christmas of 2004. I was fine and so were my two passengers (and the other driver, who hit us and totaled both cars), but let me tell you, I coud hardly walk on my ankle the following day. I went to the doctor and he said I sprained it from slamming down on the brake so hard, and that it happens a lot. I ended up being fine, but it was documented in case I wasn't.

My mother god rear-ended in February of last year. She was driving my brother's little Sunfire and a truck hit her and then an SUV hit the truck, so she got hit twice. There was like no damage to my brother's car, but she ended up with herneated (can't spell it) discs in her neck and still has pain from time to time. She also can never ride a rollercoaster ever again, which is a huge terrible deal for her, and also she can't really ride her motorcycle because it hurts her. Hell, she and I had to switch cars because the Tracker she normally drove ended up being too rough of a ride and hurt her neck.

All I'm saying is go to your doctor. Just to be safe and make sure nothing is wrong with your back/neck. Whiplash is really really common when you're rear-ended and it can be really sucky. You don't want to find out afterward that you did hurt your back as a result of the accident, because the other insurance company could argue that since you didn't get it checked within x amount of time it might not have been caused by the accident, and then not pay you what you deserve. Which would suck if you have to pay for expenses or miss work or anything.

Sorry for the long post. I do hope you get yourself checked and I'm glad you're okay!

Post by: Reb on January 15, 2009, 10:42:05 AM: I still haven't seen a doctor, I feel fine. Although I'm very sensitive to disapproval, and now will stay out of threads containing Nikki, in fear of feeling her disappointment with me.

And how is rear-ending me a solution to being rear-ended? I'll go into flashback trauma!
