I just got into a car accident today
   

My roomie and I were looking at a house from the back (the alleyway). When I drove to the end of the driveway, I stopped and waited for traffic, and someone--a nurse, mind you--backed her SUV into the right back wheelwell of my Jeep. We both had to go to the ER to get checked and, even though I didn't feel as if I were hurt right afterwards, we both suffered whiplash. The thing was, I didn't think I was injured until hours after the crash.

The old lady who backed into me admitted fault. I called my insurance company and they told me the lady who hit me already called admitting fault. Then I called their insurance company and made a phone report. Contrary to my prior belief, I did end up hurt and put on muscle relaxants. The ER doc even suggested I get a lawyer.

If I'm off DU, it's because I'll be too knocked cold to do so.

SO, the DUmmie was stopped, and the older lady was backing up?  It sounds like the DUmmie wasn't sure they were hurt until the fault was admitted by the other driver.  I smell insurance fraud.

1. Just curious as to why you need a lawyer...

You aren't really that naive are you?

3. If she has a legit injury due to the fault of another, she should be compensated   
   
for any costs, lost wages and damages.

Legit injury? Not  :censored: likely from the accident she described.

2. Best wishes for a speedy recovery, and feel free to Post Under Medication...
   
It's not like nobody else ever does!

It's rarer to find a DUmpmonkey posting stone cold sober.

6. I have to fill out an insurance form for the hospital
   
At least the driver who backed into me gave me her insurance info so they can pay the hospital bill. I didn't think I was hurt, but that was because my adrenaline wouldn't let me feel the pain.

I got put on muscle relaxants to take when I need them. Now my lower back hurts like hell. 

And it's getting worse as the dollar signs get bigger, right?

They were hit in the wheel well?  That implies a side collision at the back of the vehicle.  They were in an alley?  I doubt the "offending" vehicle had much velocity.  Whiplash?  I don't think so.

Yeah. A good defense atty. will disprove the claim. Unfortunately it's cheaper to pay the claim than the atty.

By the time this gets to court, I bet she had 14 passengers in the jeep at the time of the accident.

Call a real lawyer and hear them laugh you off the phone.  Insurance companies have lawyers and fight back real hard these days. 

Oh...and....DUmmies lie, they lie all the time.

The car in motion is usually determined guilty by default.  My aunt backed into a vehicle that was idling behind her parked car at the grocery store; unfortunately, she was given a ticket by the officer that showed up at the scene.

"Toots" got T-boned a coupla months ago. (amazing y'all never heard about it, more amazing is none of us bring much of our personal lives onto the internet, ain't it?)Totaled our '93 Subaru. She didn't think she was hurt either, but later her shoulder and back stiffened up to the point I made her go see the Doc. Turns out it shoved her spine sideways. Not good! Lots of physical therapy. Of course the guy was doing a little more than 2 MPH. Idiot was trying to beat the traffic across the intersection and never even saw her until he smacked her.

Wasn't all bad, I ended up buying the Sub back for $100. I'm driving it back and forth to work. Beats the hell out of driving my 3500 Ford Diesel every day! Hell it gets nearly 30 MPH! My truck, 14! Oh, I bought her a 2006 Jeep Grand Cherokee Grand Loredo. I'm think'in I got the raw end of the deal. Lol!
