You two get well soon. I'm sure that was scary as hell. Happened to me once, but I was too busy not hitting the car in front of me to notice the one coming at me in the back.
:drive: :smashfreakB: Gotta watch that stuff

Holy crap! I don't want to imagine how bad it would have been if you didn't move to the left. Did the car hit any other cars after it hit you? How scary.

I'm always worried about a car coming up fast that hasn't noticed everyone in front of them slowing down, so I tap my brakes so the brake lights flash if I notice someone coming up fast behind me. Who knows if it works :shrug:

Anyway, hope you're both feeling fine ASAP.

Getting a bigger vehicle now?:bigeyes:

She gave us the previledge of being the only ones she hit. Us women drivers suck!

We already have a 3/4 ton 4x4 long bed extended cab dogde ram. We want the little car b/c it got 40+ mpg, when you drive 45 miles to work, that's nice.

the insurance company of the girl that hit us gave us a rental car, a little kia, so at least we don't have to spend a lot of money driving the hog!!! i thought that was pretty cool of them. we get it till the 2nd of feb.

There was a similar wreck in north FL this week. A girl, driving her 3 adopted siblings and two cousins home was stopped behind a bus when a BIG ASS TRUCK sandwiched them between his truck and the bus. Their car exploded and all the kids inside died. When their grandfather heard the news, he had a heart attack and died.

Glad you all got by with bumps and bruises.

good news...i don't hurt anymore. jessi is back at work today, still sore, and head hurting, but she's back at work!!!! bad news we got a letter from the insurance company that didn't sound like they weren't going to pay for all the hospital stuff (not to mention that we still haven't heard anything from them on my car) so a call to the lawyer today it is. i just want thing the way they were b4.

good luck, it's a freeking nightmare dealing with them. be glad ya'll ok today but you might be surprised what you may have down the road. i would get legal advise asap for laws in your state.

i was clipped in rear quarter a year ago on interstate by a kid driving 100 mph, i was going 70 and did earnhart into wall, flipped, realized where i was while sliding upside down in i-state waiting to be slammed by someone else. after i magaged to crawl out back. seperated shoulder, screwed something up in knee and the usual jerking body around stuff. felt beter after 6 months, but now into 14 month shoulder bugs me a lot - never sued, just got bills paid and took very small 2k pain/suffering setlement offered by the kids insurance co just to be done with it and i was just happy to be alive. the 2k actually only helped ofset the crappy settlement i got on my truck.

getting old sucks, but getting old with not at fault body damage sucks worse.
take your time, if other driver was cited for stupid driving + he hit you in rear - his insurance co will pay all the bills. they just seem to wait until their million + in the account earns enough instrest to pay this claim.
ultimately be glad everyone is functional; and if you need to go to DR - go, they'll pay the bill eventually.

BTW post some pics of car :aargh4: :aargh4:

screw my wreck bro...i'm glad to hear you're ok!!!! we are going to the lawyers, sucks, but after the letter i got yesterday, i'm not to happy with what they're planning. i hate to be this way, but i'm just going to let some money grubbing lawyer take'em for whatever he can. if the insurance would have tried to fess up to happened rather than make me sound at fault for being at the wrong place at the wrong time, i'd have probly taken whatever got the bills paid and put us on the road. but screw'em
