Just hang in there. Do what you need to do to keep things moving along. Eventually, you'll see the end of whatever is going to happen. It will start being less traumatic soon, no doubt.

Take care of yourself.

That is the advice from an attorney who did PI work for 33 years in Texas.

with you until you are done talking to the insurance companies. Some guy hit me once and because I didn't remember some details (the guy's last name) they waivered on believing my side. I pulled the info together and called them back. It was a hassle, but I prevailed.

Most insurance companies these days want to share the blame to spread the cost around. That might be best for an insurance company, but it isn't the best for you. Watch out for that.

out the report said they only do the crash report. The insurance companies determine who's at fault, unless it's a DUI or something fatal.

The policeman did tell me that it was 100% not my fault, even though that wasn't put in the report. But, who knows how the insurance companies will work this out.

while I was driving a small compact car.

Despite wearing a seat belt, I bounced up, hit my head on the car roof, and had a concussion. (Several years ago, old car, no air bags.)

I could not remember my address when EMTs arrived, let alone details of the accident.

Fortunately, there was a convenience store at the intersection where it happened and 5 customers had been outside the store chatting. They saw it happen and all of them volunteered their statements. It was a slam dunk. The truck driver's insurance company paid for my hospital visit, a temporary rental car, and enough for me to replace my totalled car with another used car.

Those witnesses made all the difference.

Are there any security cameras in the area? Any businesses? Can you run a local ad asking about witnesses?

if he doesn't put who's at fault in the report you might need to get him to communicate this to the insurance company. Perhaps insurance can make the same conclusion he did, but since they aren't on site and he was, I'd make sure I had a way to contact that policeman if there's any problem.

call the cop who wrote the report to ask any questions that they have.

The cops here draw a diagram on the report, indicating where each car was before the accident and afterward. From that info, they can usually see who hit whom, estimate the speed, assess whether a traffic sign or stoplight or any other traffic law was violated, and ask the drivers to tell what happened. If one of them says something that does not match with the amount of damage and position of the cars, that person is usually the one who caused the accident.

I'm surprised that the cop did not assign any blame or responsibility.

My accident occurred in an intersection. The traffic light was in my favor, so I pulled into the intersection. The truck came out of nowhere at 50+ mph, ran the red light, and slammed into me. The driver was cited for speeding, running a red light, and driving recklessly.

I had one other accident several years earlier than that one, a fender bender in a parking lot. I was backing out of a parking spot at a corner convenience store when another driver entered the lot from another street, turned a bend to the front of the store, and hit my car. He tried to tell the investigating cop that it was my fault because I backed into his path. The cop said that the other driver was at fault because I had started out of my parking spot and the other driver came on the scene after that. Therefore, I had the right of way. He fined the other driver.

Cops around here always assume that one of the drivers is at fault unless there are extenuating circumstances that neither driver could anticipate or avoid.

Rec.

Thank-you

that's scary! Glad you're okay. What caused the other guy to hit you? All I know about insurance companies (from experience is that they're going to try to screw you over so beware.

side of the highway, so I couldn't get over there to him, but the police said, he told them he was trying to pass me and he thinks his car slipped on ice. Weird thing is, I just so happened to look in my side mirror about 2 seconds (literally) before he hit me. The highway was busy and me and my passenger had been talking about all the crazy drivers and how they were speeding. We had snow and sleet the day before, but the roads had cleared that day. Only spots of ice in less driven areas.

wild and crazy stuff! Maybe the ice kept it from being a harder impact? The universe was looking out for you.

So glad that the guardrail held and that you're ok. Can't imagine how frightening that was.

The policeman said I hit the guardrail hard. It was dark and I was on the other side of the highway. I think I was in shock, but I didn't get to see it.

You are not normal.

Trauma induces "shock", it is a defensive mechanism, and normal.

The advice to get a lawyer is a good idea. Remember, there may be underlying damage that may not appear for a time.
Not to be scary, but I know of one passenger that "walked away" from an accident and died two days later from internal bleeding.

Caveat: I do not think this will happen to you, but things like a concussion are always something to look into.

Get a copy of the accident report and verify that is on it.. File a correction for anything that is wrong in the report.

know that your DU family is here for you. Please keep us posted.

My advice? DO NOT talk to either insurance company yourself. Find a personal injury attorney TODAY. DO NOT agree to sign ANYTHING, ever, without having an attorney, you wiill get screwed over.

so much and good advice!

Wish I'd known this when a car came out of a parking lot and hit me broadside.

After months of useless conversations and estimates on the car, I finally listened to a friend and met with a personal injury lawyer who dealt with insurance companies in ways that they listened to.

that caused the insurance companies to have such useless conversations if she hit you? These are the things I need to know about, so I can watch out for it.

Thank-you!

totaled - one with injury, one without - and handled both myself. With the injury one I had to have surgery and did meet with an attorney for a consultation. He gave me an idea of what the injury was worth, his fee would be 30%, and if I couldn’t settle on my own to come back to him. That one was 20 years ago and I settled for 80k.

The other one I argued with the insurance company re the value of my car and got them to increase payment by 5k. Since you have no injury (make sure those bruises and soreness aren’t an injury! take pics of bruises) , once fault is determined to be the other driver (critical), your only issue is the value of your car. It wouldn’t occur to me to go to an attorney ($$) for that but I guess if they try to seriously low-ball you and you can’t get them to budge …

So glad you are okay! For me, the reliving/trauma faded after a reasonably short time. Here’s hoping it does for you as well.

🙂

You need a lawyer. Do not talk to the insurance companies period.

Told me to not speak with anyone but them. I refused to talk with the other company who notified me right away they were not to blame. My insurance company gave me a more than fair settlement on my 10 year old car. I was ready to trade, they made it easy.
I do not see reputable Insurance companies as my enemy. My agent and the owner were fair. I can not say the same for that one who advertises constantly on Cable.

I didn't make that clear. I've had good experiences with my own insurance companies also.

and calling again and again to ask if there was any progress on my claim, they finally asked if we knew their insured was at fault. I was so unaware that I didn't even know that my insurance company should have taken care of it and then gone to the other driver's insurance company for reimbursement.

Also, I had plenty of available vacation time and good medical coverage so all I was asking for was repairs on my car. The lawyer went for reimbursement for lost time from work and medical bills.

The lawyer navigated the issues with who was at fault and how much should be paid. Apparently my description of the accident and the fact that she had pulled out of a parking lot and hit me wasn't enough to convince them (or more likely they were just trying to avoid honoring their obligation). I'd advise talking to a lawyer before you even bother calling their insurance company but definitely letting your insurance company know.

Decades later it still makes me smile that it ended up costing them almost exactly 10 times what the car repairs would have cost if they hadn't been ignoring and obstructing my request to fix the car.

sorry this happened to you. attorney is in order here. They will receive payment from the insurance company. It will be 0 out of pocket for you

8 years ago (I think?), my husband and I got t-boned by a guy who ran a red light when my husband was trying to turn left on a green arrow. Since the idiot was driving a big old SUV and we were in a compact car, the impact caved in the driver's side of our car, and my husband (the driver) ended up with a broken hip that put him in the hospital, followed by rehab, for 2 months total.

The impact also caused our car to slam into the car behind us (which was also trying to turn left), and the driver of that car confirmed that we had a green arrow and the othe guy was responsible. That was a bug relief to my husband, who had been second guessing himself as to whether the driver that hit us actually had a red light.

Our car was beyond totalled. They used the jaws of life to remove the driver's side door in order to get my husband out and then had to remove the back door as well (basically the whole left side of the car) to extricate him. There wasn't much left of the car after that. (Amazingly, my husband didn't have a mark on him; all of the damage to him was internal.)

I didn't think I was injured at all, but the next day I woke up aching in what felt like a thousand different places, and it took several days for that to subside.

We immediately agreed that we needed to get a lawyer, and I'm so glad we did. Among other things, when the hospital and medical bills started arriving, the lawyer told us to just bring them into the office, which we did, and they handled everything from there. When you're injured in a motor vehicle accident, your health insurance company, your auto insurance company, and the other driver's auto insurance company immediately start wrangling over who has to cover what, and the lawyer did all the necessary wrangling on our behalf. Not having to deal with all of that was a real sanity saver.

I was hit head on by a woman driving too fast in a snowstorm.

While I was on medication for the pain, my stupid Father convinced me not to get a lawyer.
As a result, I got only $10,000 in a settlement, even though my face needed a lot of work, and I to this day have complications.

So get a lawyer.

I haven't been through anything like this before and I just want to get ahead of all it.

Thank-you!

We're always here to listen.


I have a suggestion that would be helpful in more than one way.


Write this all down in a notebook or a journal.

It helps to remember specific questions to details that anyone investigating the accident might have.


Also, for myself, it helps me to write events down. It's therapeutic for me.

I wish you well and wish you healing from this traumatic event.

so much! I've started in a little notebook and I think I'm going to have to get a bigger one!

So glad you & your passenger weren't hurt & especially that you didn't go over the edge!

I would write the whole thing down now while it's fresh. Try to remember every detail. Do you have the number of your passenger so you can see if they remember anything that you don't? Take great care when reading the other driver's account, that their version is accurate & challenge anything that isn't right.

When I was 16 & a brand new driver I hit someone pulling out of a parking space & the other driver told the cop they'd been going the opposite direction than the way they'd been going. I was so nervous & worried I didn't pay attention & fortunately a witness came up & said, "No. They were driving the other way." It was a parking lot so no one was ticketed, but that inaccuracy would have made a difference with the insurance companies.

Take it easy today!

Good advice!

We were coming off of a highway, and hit some ice on the overpass, sliding sideways into the guardrail and coming to rest facing ongoing cars. It was slow motion. I was in the passenger seat. The slow burn of adrenaline from almost going over the guard rail quickly became ice veins as we sat poised to oncoming cars. We got over and all was fine but we went crazy feeling like life just offered another chance

All I could think of was, "I can't go over this guardrail!" I am so sore from turning that wheel so hard!

If you've ever seen Mission Impossible:Ghost Protocol, with Tom Cruise, and that scene at the end where he goes off that car lift, that's what was going through my mind!

and bruising. There could be hidden or delayed issues that could crop up. The medical documentation could be important when it comes to settlement.

tell you in the commercials. Their job(s) is to make money and pay nothing. They'll assess fault, then subrogate the losses. Know your policy, what your vehicle "replacement" value is, as well as any other losses you can claim, all in the regard of your driving for Lyft at the time of the collision. Say nothing about fault on your end ("I guess I might have been talking with my passenger...&quot . If you find that you're still in pain, see all the doctors and get a consultation with good counsel if needed.

From your OP, it sounds like everyone came out of this without a lot of known personal injury, which is the most important and is great to hear.

Thankful for the engineers and regulations that built the guardrail and put it in place.

So thankful it held! Good advice about the insurance companies. These are the questions I need answering.

Thank-you!

You will be fine. I was flooded with Attorney mail. I pitched them all after I was awarded a fair settlement.

And that they did exactly what they're designed for!!

I hope you have a good experience with your insurance company.

About three years ago I was in an accident that totaled my car. My car was eleven yrs old (a Smart car) and they gave me $5000, enough to buy another (used) Smart car. My agent was incredibly supportive and helpful.

And, to you, Blue_Roses, thanks for checking in! Especially after what you just went through! I hope your insurance company responds quickly and doesn’t give you the run-around! Heaven knows you’ve had enough trauma!

I did get an attorney and they seem to be pretty good. They've already jumped right in and got the ball rolling. I've had some medical issues this week that didn't show up until a few days after the accident, so I'm going to the doctor tomorrow.

Me too!

It is PTSD. It will fade, but you will never forget.
It is great you are otherwise okay. The car was totaled, but not you.

There are some real bad drivers here in the metroplex. There wasn't much you could do evasively when you got T-boned.

Anymore, you pretty much have to let the insurance companies fight it out. But it sounds like the other guy was 100% at fault.

is like being back in the wild, wild, west! Such carelessness and speeding. I see it all the time doing Lyft. I've been doing Lyft for 7 years, part-time and this is my first accident, so I've been lucky!

As far as insurance, it depends on your coverage.
If you have collision, you should be good to go. They will make a settlement offer, it will be low-ball.
Check your policy, make sure they are not going to screw you over.

Stay safe, thankfully, no one was seriously injured or killed.

Yes, we are family...

I do have Comp & Collision, but still not sure how this is all gonna play out. It has me alittle anxious.

Talking about it here and with others helps. I had a really bad car accident years ago and for 6 months after every time I heard tires squeal - I flinched!

The more you talk about it the easier it gets.

Light and love

Rose

I do keep reliving it over in my head. The last two days I've been resting and I just haven't wanted to go far from my bed. That's not like me.

I'm a NYC'r. Here, we had on line, and ?pamphlets of what kind of trauma symptoms people might expect post 9-11: physical, mental, emotional. Even from watching it on TV.

If you can't get your regular doctor appointment quickly - maybe you can get to an Urgent Care facility. Like others highly suggest you should be looked over.

Good luck in all aspects! Glad you made it out mostly ok.

I've found myself jumping at any loud noise. I'm going to the doctor tomorrow, because I've got a knot on the back of my head that is extremely sore and I've been having bad vertigo and headaches. It's probably nothing, but I'm still gonna get it checked out.

hidden injuries.

All the best for an easy, reversible outcome with time! 🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞

Similar experience here. Talking about it helped a lot, though I think my spouse was tired of hearing about it, though they never complained.

and your passenger. It sounds like a terrifying experience.

I hope the insurance process goes smoothly for you.

to you!

As for insurance companies, just take it step by step. If you have an agent or other representative you can deal with that can help.

Good luck!

Thanks for sharing.

I'm certainly not an expert, but if the police report includes the guy admitting he slipped on ice, I'd say chances are this will go smoothly for you.
Not that my opinion means much to the insurance companies.

well, I know about bruises and soreness and the emotional toll...

I am still working with Progressive 4 1/2 months after one of their insured pulled directly out in front of me... my passenger had a fractured sternum and hematomas, and it seems the impact of airbags dislocated my shoulder... still doing PT and going in to get statement from orthopedic doc for the insurance company this week...

dealing with insurance?? don't compromise, be firm, be patient... they are paid to not pay out any more than is absolutely necessary

good luck

edit to say... write it all down while it is fresh in your memory and don't sugarcoat... they are at fault.... explain how stressfull it all is and how it has affected your life negatively... I would never lie but they need to know how devastating it all is for you

I know people are suggesting a lawyer and sometimes that is necessary... this is my second accident in 2 years where someone pulled out in front of me and I chose not to use a lawyer... they end up taking a lot of the payout but your choice

first time without a lawyer, my car was paid for, all medical bills paid and thousands of dollars for "pain and suffering" I am expecting the same again this time

issue you are having with them? I have Progressive too.
Hope you are feeling better!

my insurance is Geico and they are great... Progressive is the other guy's insurance and he was found to be at fault. They have taken responsibility for the incident itself and now we just hash out the payment... they have already taken responsibility for medical bills and I have been reimbursed for my totaled car. The issue will be what they call "pain and suffering" in the business... it is difficult to put a dollar amt on that but you must do it and hold firm.... if you don't get a lawyer (I didn't) do a lot of reading about the subject and/or talk to as many people around you who have an opinion.

first time around, progressive offered me $7,000 and I said no, not enough and did settled for double that... many said I should have gotten more money but I was ok with that.

This time around they are offering much less and because this has affected so much of what I do, for these past 4 months, I will not settled for less. again, good luck

Voice of experience here. Leap from your car, grab the smartphone and start taking photos and/or a video. Get clear shots of the license plate and the driver's face. The more the better. Include damage to both vehicles and road way. Insist on calling the police regardless of how minor the damage may appear. Even if you know it was your fault, never say "My fault". Don't agree to not call your insurance company and "settle this between us". Wrong move. If you have any injury or pain do not ignore it. Get a ride to the nearest ER.

Glad everyone is okay! Thank goodness for guardrails!

I had a spin out on an icy overpass once and hit the guardrail. Not going fast, no other cars involved, but it was terribly scary to me and affected my comfort in driving during the winter to this day (at least 10 years later). Especially since you drive for income, you might want to check on resources for PTSD treatment. I know someone who had a terrible crash and she went back the next day (in a different car) and drove the route where it happened repeatedly. She did this daily for about a week. (She had researched what might help.) She believes it saved her. My alternative approach was just to grit my teeth and feel faintly ill every time I was forced to drive over that overpass again! Even in the middle of summer it was still held in my body.

Best wishes to you with your insurance company and your continued recovery.

I've been in a few minor accidents but nothing like this. You may want to get checked out by your Doctor just to make sure you don't have any fractures or anything else that my not be readily apparent....again, better to be safe than sorry.

My daughters was T-boned in an intersection. Despite a police report that clearly found the other driver at fault, her insurance company resisted accepting responsibility. My insurance company suggested we use OUR insurance to make repairs (her car was ALMOST totaled but not quite) but that that meant covering the deductible. The Insurance company would then go after the other drivers' insurance. OTHERWISE, we'd have to wait for the case to resolve to repair the car. Ugh. We wound up doing that, but it took a YEAR to get reimbursed, for the deductible and then another year to get the accident labled as "not at fault" by the inusrance company.

So my advice is to RIDE the insurance company to aggresively pursue the case, especially since you cannot work until this is resolved.

Sending best wishes and healing thoughts your way.

It can take a number of days to present. Please be kind and gentle with yourself, and not just for a couple of days.

Many years ago, I was with friends in a VW Bug, coming back from visiting a museum. We were hit broadside by a Buick sedan, driver doing about 50 in a residential//school zone. Fortunately, apart from my friend's cracked rib (from hitting the stick shift), we were okay, although they apparently had to stop me from going after the jerk who hit us. The police were totally useless. When we went to retrieve the car the next day, we saw that the passenger side window where I had been sitting was completely spider-webbed and almost pushed out. The imprint of my head was clearly visible. We had not realized that I had hit it til that moment, which accounted for my headache. Years later, I was talking to a massage therapist to see about working together. He ran his hand down my spine, stopped, and said, "You were in an accident years ago weren't you? You have a knot right here."

I tell you this to please, please, take good care of yourself, pay attention to what your body is telling you. Things can show up much later.

I got an attorney this week and I'm going to the doctor tomorrow. You're right. Things don't show up until days later sometimes. I too, have been having vertigo and headaches. Come to find out, I found a knot on the back of my head that's very sore.

the accident, refer them to your attorney. And I am glad that you can see a doctor tomorrow, hope they can help with the headache and vertigo, and really check you out. Please keep us posted.

I don't know if you've ever been in a car accident before, but in my experience, you re-live it almost every time you close your eyes for a while. Peace and healing be with you!

I'm so glad you weren't badly hurt.

If re-living the accident becomes bothersome, you might consider seeking out a therapist for a few sessions. I don't know much about insurance, but maybe you can claim the cost of therapy.

So glad you were not badly injured and that no one else was either. I am sure you will be going over this very scary event for quite a while. Now, while your body is very sore, you should write down each day what parts of you hurts and what activities you cannot do because of being sore and what activities you normally do that you now have to do very slowly. Assuming you see a lawyer and some months from now are asked how this accident affected you physically and mentally you will have this notebook, kept in real time, about how you were each day since this happened. It is very easy to forget details, especially after such a horrible trauma. This actual documentation of your pain and suffering will be very helpful to you.

I'm going to the doctor tomorrow to get some things checked out. I also got an attorney and I'm so glad I did. They are taking care of everything. It's alittle overwhelming.

. . . but just in case no one has mentioned it, don't sign any health releases until you know you are truly okay. Symptoms can come up much later.

I was hit years ago in a similar way and had flashbacks for a long time.It may be a good idea to see a therapist to help process the accident.

I'm relieved for you and your passenger. Stay well.

I am going to the doctor tomorrow. I haven't been feeling very good this week and you're right about seeing a therapist.

The particulars in the report will determine who has to pay.

It probably saved both of your lives.

I can't really give advice on dealing with insurance companies because I've only had minor fender-benders. You're smart to ask for advice on DU though, because several of our readers are either lawyers or insurance experts.

Good luck to you my friend!

I've never been so scared in my life. I thought I was okay, but I'm going to the doctor tomorrow. It's weird how survival skills that we never knew we have...until something like this happens. I like to think that I had alittle extra help...

Get a lawyer. Do not sign anything. Let the lawyer do EVERYTHING. Do not talk to anyone officially except your lawyer.

Glad you are not hurt.

a way of running out, so I recently installed one. Also if I were a driver for hire, I'd want to have one that shows not only the front and rear views but the interior view (passengers) as well, just for any issue that might arise.

Glad you are safe and things sound like they are working out.

It’s worth talking to an attorney to make certain you are protected from future passenger claims. Also include lost wages and health claims regarding the accident. It will take time for you to determine injuries that you may have sustained in the accident. They will advise you to keep the case open until you are certain of your injuries. Even if you don’t have an attorney don’t let the insurance company rush you into settling.

I’m sorry you had to go through this. It will take time to recover from it all. Wishing you a full recovery. Take care!💗🙏🏼

I was hit by a red light runner. 50 MPH and he never touched the brake. I thought I was the only one not injured, but it turns out I had the worst injury. It took 3 days present itself.

They need to talk to a lawyer.

I had a concussion. On day two this guy is on the horn asking about the condition of my bike, something about the chain being off. I told him I had zero idea as I was unconscious laying on the road. That seemed to stop the questions. It’s good advice not to talk to any of them. I’m sorry about your injury. That is very scary.

PTSD is real. Find some help.

So glad you and everybody are OK. That's a blessing!

That's the most important thing.

It looks like you have good advice in the thread re: insurance, lawyers, etc. Much depends on the police report, who was at fault, etc.

Badly hurt. You were so lucky! Black ice and freezing fog took our my car a few years ago. It was weeks b4 the shock wore off. I skated across three lanes of rush hour traffic then rolled down the hill b4 stopping. Totaled the car, hit a few and got hit while the ice had me. But I had my seat belt on, which saved my life.

Although it was totally weather related accident, it was still my fault. But I didn't get penalized by the police or insurance. My rate went up a little, but it truly was inconsequential compared to the accident. I had Farmers at the time and they worked beautifully with us. Winter is just bad driving time. You'll be ok... my biggest issue was getting another car asap, since I commuted to another city to work.

Hang in there and just treat yourself gently as the shock begins to wear off. I think the first thing I did once I was back home was to go to bed. It helped me immensely. You might consider that. Your body will thank you. Healing energies your way, hon.

that was some accident you had. So glad you are alright. I am going to the doctor tomorrow and I did get an attorney. I think it's gonna take alittle longer to deal with this than I initially thought.

Thank-you and good advice!

Your passenger was still with you, correct? So that person should be a witness.
You’ve received a lot of good advice here but I will emphasize the documentation. It’s always good to be prepared. If there’s a local personal injury lawyer who gives free consultations you might want to meet with that attorney.

Good luck. I hope all goes smoothly. Sorry you have to go through this.

That says you are physically fine.

That let's them off the hook if you develop back problems, for example, down the road.

Spoken from experience.

I'm glad you are ok.

Not your job. Only talk to them. First thing I was warned. Please.

It will help document everything. How you feel, who might be harassing you, etc.

Get a good lawyer. I hope you get a nice replacement car out of this along with all of your medical paid.

There is a treatment for PTSD that certain counselors are able to do with you, called EMDR.

Just your description gave me the willies, so I can't imagine how it feels to picture the actual event in your head.

Gives some perspective. You are OK. Forget everything else for a while if you can.

I had one of those first big clunky cellphones, so I dialed 911. 4 other vehicles, lots of injuries. Cops come and I leave.

When I got home I made diagrams and wrote down everything I remembered.

Depends on your insurance company, so a good rule of thumb is to be friends with your local agent. Give him a call, and take his advice. He'll probably sympathize very much with your accident on the job, especially when he hears this story. Also. See if Lyft provides any compensation for accidents while on the job. I hope you had police file a fault with the other driver report, and you got his license plate and other ID. Best of luck to you, Blue.

anc

do you have to buy your own insurance?

insurance, but they also provide insurance just for our car too. Lyft is handling the car and I have an attorney to help me out with the rest of it. It's pretty overwhelming.

The passenger already has, you probably have a very tight window to do so.

I was hit on the driver's side over the front wheel and hood. Had a bruise across my chest and shoulder that was the imprint of the seat belt. Car was totaled. Took a long time to get over it

It is scary when you think about it. You do not have time to think but you did or!👏

I was broadsided a few months ago by a guy running a blinking red light. The woman behind him said he stopped and then pulled out, actuallybroke my front axel. And I was driving a LaCross. Air bags actually broke my collar bone. But I would not go to the hospital, thought it was just the airbags.
I am glad you did not go over. I wound up in a drugstore parking lot.

But glad you are fine.
