Ah i see!. here in the UK when it was unlikely that liability could be placed soley with one party due to lack of evidence we used to go down the route of each insurer settling their own claims. However, these days that settlement route is rarely used and a 50/50 liability settlement is more standard and especially in the case of a personal injury - if the liability cannot be proved then why should the injured party not receive some level of compensation.

sounds like the system works a bit differently in the US though, so my advice is redundant!.

Hope your injuries rectify themselves soon.

hope u are feeling better today and your injuries are settling down.
I'll keep you in my thoughts and prayers my dear!@!!

I know how you feel, I went to Fla for 10 days after having my car I had a week and made dh promise no one would drive it while I was gone, got back, found out he let my 20 y/o son drive it, and a woman t boned him, and it worries me that I paid 3,500 for it and it books for 2,000 and I don't wan;t it totaled, because its still i good shape except for some dings here and there.
Good thing I got full coverage. there were 7 people in a 5 person sedan yet she was not cited...beats me! Hope you feel ok.

My #1 fear, car hitting me.

You ok?
Yep, it takes a couple of days to feel the extent of injuries.
Let us know.
Howz the fingers, hand?
Your chest?

I so remember when a big *** truck pulled in front of me on Valentines Day 2005.
So I drive & passenger with a cervical pillow & pillows underneath on my worst side.
I literally drive with 1 hand since my right cannot reach without muscle and nerve pull.
When I'm passenger side I put a pillow underneath my seat belt at the BP area to protect just incase. I look like a damaged accident driver being a passenger for protection.

I know exactly what you mean Cindy!. I also worry a lot about being hit by another car as think it would completely mess me up - i once lifted a box of heavy books when doing a bootsale (when my symptoms first started & before i knew better!) and i was in soooo much pain for 3-4 months after that. I have since learned that lifting heavy=pain and suffering, so dont do it!

I am in the shape I am in since I was rear ended by a passenger van in 99 so be careful.

Mine too. my life flashed before me - after I realized I was breathing.

Had c-spine x-rays and left hand today. Have a Dr appt on 8/1.

And I FINALLY got my referral to Emory's Pain Mgmt. Clinic! I pick it up tomorrow. This, along with a forthcoming letter from Dr. Annest and I'm just about all set.

I hit black ice before the devil TOS and only one word came out of my mouth for about 10 mins after and then the tears started....word is......#$%&....you get it!!

I did a few 360's and then hit a tree with my trunk car had damage but luckily somebody was watching me on Christmas eve!!!!

love to you Astern pls feel better soon

hugs,
Victoria

Astern and those with recent car incidents, take extra rest and care. Bruises can be deep and take a little time to show. I am glad you had a check up and a series of x rays Astern. Hope all is fine for you and insurance settles promptly and properly. Sadly I always feel that no matter what insurance you pay , the insurers always try to wiggle out of paying up fully or at all. Sorry I am being cynical.

Take care .
