Re: Goodbye 1bad85 (xlr8nflorida)
Make sure you get an accident report too.... i had an accident report where the police report switched the two cars around... if you just read the report it would look like it was my fault when in reality it was the other lady who didn't yield the right of way and slammed into me.
Make sure you goto a doctor.... thats all im going say... Get thoroughly checked out

I'll second everything he said. No first hand experience here, thankfully, but...My dad pulled out into the fast lane on I-5 @70mph, and a Chevy Plastilanch SUV was speeding behind him, rear ended him. The police report was written wrong, and showed a "front end to front end" collision. (As if you could head-on someone on a divided freeway? :rolleyes: ) So, although he probably wouldn't have been at fault, the stupid cop screwed it up, and my dad's rates went up. He never bothered to fight it either, he's too complacent I guess.
Also, my boss just sat through a few days of jury trial, where a lady was trying to sue for medical expenses relating to a car-accident. Records show that she didn't report any pain or anything at the time of the accident, and didn't see a doctor until a few months later for back pain. Her case was thrown out. So even if you think you're fine, you could still get some free (and deserved) massage therapy appointments or something!
