Eh, it was a mom with her young daughter, an honest accident, and no real damage done. She was freaking the gently caress out pretty bad so after I verified everything seemed to be still attached I told her to not worry about it and have a nice day since I'm not a dick

She won't pay for your "neck injury" but her insurance will.
Maybe you could claim that ever since the accident spiders are everywhere around you and your cars.

When the young woman ran the stop sign and totaled out my civic and her forester, her insurance kept calling me asking me to claim money for 'pain and suffering' for my injuries in the accident (I got a hairline fracture on my left ring finger knuckle). I never called him back because I don't care about extorting more money from her insurance - they paid for my visit to the urgent care and gave me a fair payout for my car, that's all I care about.

I wish more people weren't litigious greedy assholes that view an accident as a payday. :smith:

Except for when you actually have suffering. but also don't forget about any time you lost at work. And the potential for injuries or pain down the road. Plus they weren't being nice. If you claim some pain and suffering on your own now and you have something pop up within the allowable time frame you can't get anything extra. They were trying to screw you and save themselves money.

Yeah, the first indication that I had that the other party was going to admit fault when my Subaru got totalled is when they called me and started asking if I had any injuries.

Yeah I'd definitely get insurance info and snap a couple photos at the scene regardless, probably even file a police report even if I had no intention of making a claim. You never know what injuries could pop up a few days down the line. Happened to my mom a while back and she let the kid go and ended up getting surgery and all sorts of rehab for years afterward, all paid out of pocket.

Noooooooo

I remember when my MX-3 got rear-ended at a light my neck hurt for a year. Fine now, did a tiny bit of PT and the pain eventually went away, but what a pain in the rear end.

The impact was hard enough that it buckled the floorboard in the passenger footwell and knocked the stereo out of the dash. I drove it home. Crazy stuff.

I hope you exchanged information, or at least have her tag number. Now is the time to call your doctor and insurance company.

Even if you intend to get zero dollars at all from them, a solid scare and a good lesson might save the life of the next person they would otherwise carelessly ram into

Fortunately kinetic weapons aren't prohibited and work just as well, with the added bonus of no lingering radiation or fallout.

No, if you want to be :spergin: about it, you have to recognise that the relevant legislation is the Eridani Edict, and that it's a little more complicated than that.

Do you honestly think a treaty is going slow down anyone with access to both nuclear weapons and orbital-capable rockets? These are SPIDERS in CARS we're talking about here, drastic measures are necessary!

I guess the nut on the starter cable backed off on the freeway shorting the solenoid and having it just full on and I noticed a wierd noise and smell and then lost dash lights.. Frantically ripped the cable off because it was going key off and promptly lost the nut which was somewhere near the approximate temperature of the sun. Made it home by removing the cable entirely and zip tied the alternator wire to the battery being sans terminal end.
