lady smashed into my back, while i was at a red light. Witness said she didnt even stop and was doing about 60kph, my head is killing me my back is hurting, cops took statements ....

I stopped at the red lights, 5-10 seconds later smash... i blacked out i think for a few seconds from impact then woke up in the middle of the intersection thinking what the ff**** is the light green am i supposed to be going? i looked up and it was red.
Took me awhile to get out of the car. lady couldnt find her insurance details and she had a child seat in the back that was all ****ed up so its not even hooked up right. (thank god that there was no child in there)
i htink i have a concusion im dizzy and sore... and now i cant goto bed :mad: :crying: :rant2:

Thats everyones worst nightmare... not knowing its coming so you can't do a thing about it.

Hope you're ok. Sounds like it could've been worse. Now that you'll be ok, how bad is the car?

Glad to here you're alright and hope you have a speedy recovery. Hopefully her insurance company will hook you up good, you said you needed a paint job, now you'll prolly get it! :2thumbsup:

It sucks, bro. I've always been in good shape, but ever since I got rear-ended I've had problems with my back; prob. a lifetime thing. Hope yours isn't as bad. I also hope all goes well w/ the insurance. I got screwed (idiot had no insurance). Good luck and get well...

update after i inspected it this morning and filed my insurance claims, i noticed the car has crumple dents just behing the passenger and driver doors closer towards the roof... this ***** hit me harder then i thought.... rear bumper needs replacing, paint job and rust job coming, rear suspension needs replacing... ill recommend tockico blues i guess, rear brakes are squeeking so... maybe some brembos.

my neck is killing me my tailbone is bruised to all hell and head still feels funny.

ps. i have exams in the morning

WOW... hope the insurance company doesn't total out your car. Sounds like she hit you really hard. That is insane. Hopefully there isn't any perminent damage to you. Good luck...

i spoke to the estimator he quoted just over 3000$
he said enough to write off on the low end.

But he then said seeing as youve put alot of work into it its better to keep it :D merry xmas SWEEET!!!
