I just got into a car accident today

[meow2u3]

My roomie and I were looking at a house from the back (the alleyway). When I drove to the end of the driveway, I stopped and waited for traffic, and someone--a nurse, mind you--backed her SUV into the right back wheelwell of my Jeep. We both had to go to the ER to get checked and, even though I didn't feel as if I were hurt right afterwards, we both suffered whiplash. The thing was, I didn't think I was injured until hours after the crash.

The old lady who backed into me admitted fault. I called my insurance company and they told me the lady who hit me already called admitting fault. Then I called their insurance company and made a phone report. Contrary to my prior belief, I did end up hurt and put on muscle relaxants. The ER doc even suggested I get a lawyer.

If I'm off DU, it's because I'll be too knocked cold to do so.

1. Just curious as to why you need a lawyer...

3. If she has a legit injury due to the fault of another, she should be compensated

for any costs, lost wages and damages.

4. Sorry to hear about your

accident. An accident can be more traumatic than one expects.

I hope that you enjoy a speedy and complete recovery and that you and the "old lady", and her insurance can come to a mutual agreement.

6. I have to fill out an insurance form for the hospital

At least the driver who backed into me gave me her insurance info so they can pay the hospital bill. I didn't think I was hurt, but that was because my adrenaline wouldn't let me feel the pain.

I got put on muscle relaxants to take when I need them. Now my lower back hurts like hell. :hurts:
