Hit From Behind

Don't worry, I'm fine.  I was on my way back from my yearly haircut (Hi Laura!) on the other side of town, and I was almost home, when I was hit from behind.  Traffic came to a stop rather quickly and all stopped but the person behind me, who admitted she was changing lanes and was looking back when it happened.  Yes there was the cops, a tow truck and a witness who kindly stopped and gave me her information.  Good times.  I am getting a bit sore now, and I am somewhat surprised by that as it was not a high speed accident, I was stopped at the time.  I'll deal with the insurance companies more tomorrow.  Tonight I'm gonna make a few drinks.  Good times, indeed.

'Good' news, the tow truck driver cut the plastic away from the tire so I could drive it home.  Rear door won't open.

Fingers crossed it will all be sorted quickly and hopefully no issues with your back and neck. Good luck and I hope the adult beverages were good!

I had a few but still had to get to bed earlier than later last night. I took today off to deal with insurances and I'm still evaluating my back and health. I am sore but so far not considering seeking treatment. Sounds like I will get the car repaired, my day's pay and some pain and suffering compensation with no hassle.

I kind of want to be mad but everyone is being so nice and easy. The true hassle will be time spent, both today and without my car while being repaired.

American insurance companies are so much more generous than ours...

Hope it's all sorted soon - not what one needs, especially at this time of year.

Thanks, BW. So far so good! I'll mention if that changes.
