Got rearended this morning on the way to work. Was stopped at the traffic light, light just turned green, I still had my feet on the clutch/brake, just got into the first gear.....wham!!! I don't know how fast the beotch was going, but felt like over 30kph. Unfortunately, I did not see where she came from, whether she was stopped behind me and just dropped the hammer or moved from the other lane at speed and saw green, but not the line of traffic. I was about 5-7th from the intersection. I've heard something snap in my neck, it's bad as it is, getting sore and crackly all the time, and then this. Fook. I could not move for a while. She comes to me, apollogizes and tells me that we need to exchange the info and move on. I told her to call 911. Eight cops, two ambulances and a fire truck later. Was on main hwy, so flet bad for people being held up. Took to my bodyguys today. Bumper pushed-in offset, bent subframe rail, subfloor all squished, bumper cover is trashed, so is a re-bar. Arghhh. The worst of all, I am very, very sore, my whole back, had a headache whole day too. Glad I was not on a bike though. Not looking for sympathies, just watchout for idiots on the roads these days. Fook.

Depending on the insurance company, it can either get settle quickly or drag on for quite sometime before you'll ever see a settlement. My sister's still waiting on her settlements from the insurance company and it's been quite a few years now. She's had some neck and back pain from other drives rear ending her car.i dunno about bc but here in alberta u can get a nice settlement for all the pain u've suffered after suing the crap outtta her

Sorry to hear about that T. I'm sure any insurance settlement will fix you up, but the pain won't go away as quick as you would like. Rest up.

OMFG That's terrible. I'm glad that it was not any more serious than it was. I hope that there is no perminant damage in your neck. That can tend to bother you for quite some time. There are so many stupid drivers on the road today. You wonder how they go through day to day life without killing themselves. It seems like most of the time, they're the ones that ingury people and get out of it without a scratch. Here in Alberta it's worse because they all drive big SUVs and Trucks. I've had so many close calls in the last week because people in rush-hour refuse to let me in when merging and I damn near crash into the barricade.

Thanks guys.
Went to ICBC today, they are also amazed how hard she hit me. Bumper will be new, so will be a re-bar. I'll get fixed alright. Starting on Monday. The interesting thing that I found today at the insurance place is that the car that hit me had a licence plate off a different car (Ford Explorer - glad she was not driving that one) that belonged to the driver and her husband. But the actual vehicle was registered to a different person, who's address was "ABC Motors" in a nearby city. My conclusion is that the "ABC Motors" person gave the car to the driver as a loaner or they were trading that Explorer, or whatever, but I would suppose both parties must have known that the plate swap was gonna happen. Both are dumb, as this is illegal. The driver got a call right away form the adjuster as I was sitting there. They have not even reported the accident yet. Anyway, I think both the owner and the driver are pretty screwed. I can't believe people are so dumb to do that and risk being sued personally. The implication for me is that I was hit by an uninsured vehicle and it is not good. Although I have an uninsured motorist protection, it is limited apparently. My lawyer will tell me tomorrow. Doc today gave me a reference to a physio. Says that usually it takes up to two months to naturally recover, unless it is bad. We'll see. I take baths now (feel like a girl) and sleep on the floor. The crappy part now, is that I am holidays starting August, can't ride my bike, can't go on a 3 day hike I was planning and can;t lift anything heavy. I am glad it was not worse though and hope it never happens to anyone else. TT

Any other parts on the rear of your car that need replacing ( for now ) that are not covered? Perhaps we have something you need
