Yea I'm hoping it won't be anything major. When he hit me my head went forward and then came back and hit the headrest pretty hard and hurt for a few min after I got out of the car. It feels ok now but I went to the doctor just to check, they think it will be better in about a few days. Luckly I was holding on to the steering wheel with both hands otherwise my face probably would have hit the steering wheel.

 

These people need to learn to just leave my car the ****!!! ALONE

Bought this car to replace the Legacy, already had 4 tires slashed now this dum**** has to do this.

 

Youre kinda in the situation I was in. Since its 100% his fault, make sure you get the best treatment from his insurance. NEVER tell anyone that you're feeling all better. Dont take the rental car they try to give you, say you need a bigger one. They were going to give me the smallest one, but I talked my way into a standard (then I got upgraded to a GMC Canyon at the rental place). Also say you're going to miss alot of days of work (or that you have depending on when you talk to the adjuster) For my medical/suffering/work missed I got $1770. Just make it seem like all of this is really inconvenient to you, and hint at the possibility of you suing the guy (I straight up asked if I would be able to sue him after I collected all checks from Allstate, the lady went to talk to her supervisor then...) Good luck on yours.

 

What a bummer! But look at the bright side, you're okay and the guy has insurance. It could have been a lot worse.

 

So you think if I told my insurance adjuster that I'll have to miss work because of my neck that I'll get proper compensation because of that?? I have Mercury BTW

 

You should be dealing with the insurance of the guy that hit you, unless he has the same insruance company as you do. When I was hit, the only time I talked to AAA was to report the crash. After that, it was nothing but Allstate. As for the time you will be missing, tell them your job requires heavy lifting and you'll need some time off. When I went to get checked out at Kaiser, the doctor wrote a note saying I needed some time off from work so that might have helped some. My neck and back didnt start hurting untill 2 days after the crash, so take it easy just to be on the safe side.

 

ouch...so sorry man. That is painful just to look at

 

daym jeff,

looks pretty bad.

 

Damn, Jeff,

Sory to hear about your misfortune. I'm glad you're ok and that you'll be able to get it back on the road.


Why does it seem like the heavier car a person drives, the less attention they pay on wet roads?

Well woke up this morning, neck is definetly more sore than yesterday. Chances are good I'll have to cancel goin snowboading on Sunday. I'll see about calling his insurace company so I can get work compensation, hopefully it'll work out.

 

Oh yeah, to add to Patricks comment (kgb), when that happened to me, they tried to give me a friggin Geo Metro as a rental!!! What the hell!

 

tell the docs you have chronic neck pain and ask for them to prescribe to you medical marijuana.

 

Update:

The car has been dropped off at TGIF body shop in Fremont. My insurance claim has been processed and the car will be worked on once all the parts are in, should be completed in ~3 weeks. Since I was injured, Allstate made me an offer.... I accepted because I'm feeling alot better. So they will be paying me $1788.75 which will come in VERY handy getting my ej20 swap.

 

what kind of rental did they stick you with

 

PT cruiser, I had to let my mom use it though.... otherwise would have been $15 a day since I don't have a credit card.
