mailin 0 #1 February 3, 2004 I just got my car back after 2 weeks without it, following getting rear ended at my work on the 15th. Today I'm on I-95 going to work (I work at a hospital), and its bumper to bumper traffic. I get rear ended by an old man who's going to the hospital to visit his wife. I have never had more than 1 traffic ticket, never been in an accident and now I get two in the span of 3 weeks - I don't do this to myself! I must have a big bullseye on my car! I can't tell the difference in damage to my car from the last accident (only had the car for 3 days, not enough time to repair). I'm not making the same mistake twice, doing everything by the book this time... cause now I'm hurt. My back, neck, shoulders... If I didn't have bad luck, I'd have none at all...

larry 0 #2 February 3, 2004 good that it was rear-ended and not caused by you, but some insurance companies don't care if it was in no way your fault or not, they may jack your rates up hope your injuries are not too serious“Now click your heels together 3 times so you can return to Kansas to live in poverty with your teetotaling, dirt farming aunt and uncle!” paraphrased Prof. Farnsworth Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Take some rest, see a doctor, and let that husband of yours take care of you. Heck, it's too cold there to go outside to work anyway, so stay home and rest.

PhillyKev 0 #5 February 3, 2004 Quotegood that it was rear-ended and not caused by you, but some insurance companies don't care if it was in no way your fault or not, they may jack your rates up hope your injuries are not too serious It's illegal for them to increase your rate for an accident that is deemed another parties fault, or even for a no-fault. At least in PA. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
goose491 0 #6 February 3, 2004 QuoteIt's illegal for them to increase your rate for an accident that is deemed another parties fault, or even for a no-fault. At least in PA. That's true for the most part. However, a high frequency of claims (even not at fault ones) can have you placed in a new risk group affecting your premiums. My Karma ran over my Dogma!!!

KawiZX900 0 #8 February 3, 2004 that fucking sucks. big time. sorry to hear it. Accelerate hard to get them looking, then slam on the fronts and rollright beside the car, hanging the back wheel at eye level for a few seconds.

mailin 0 #9 February 3, 2004 Thanks for the vibes and good thoughts everyone. Things move quickly... Working at a hospital has its good sides - I was able to slip in through the back door to the ER and at least documented everything. I've got a lawyer as of 15 min. ago - he's going to handle everything. I've got an autobody place and a chriopractor as of 15 min. ago too. I hurt now - they say I'll really hurt tomorrow... Just hope it doesn't stop me from starting AFF. JenniferArianna Frances Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
