Well, Missy, that's a shame you were involved in an accident ......
As mentioned, the most important thing is your health; make sure you take care of yourself. It appears your car could be fixed; let the insurance company and body shop worry about that. As a parent of three children, who all had accidents within 2 months of getting their drivers license, I can identify with your parents anxiety ..... if they "yell" at you, that just may their way of saying "I'm shocked, but I'm so glad you're OK". You're not alone, most of us were involved in an automobile accident when we were young ..... and we "survived" the nasty experience. humfrz Last edited by humfrz; 11-17-2013 at 03:52 PM. |

Please please PLEASE take notes and extra aware of your body, you WILL develope issues that will be long term, 2/5 of my family member went through the same thing as you did except they were more severe, they ended up being cover and paid in thousands for those accidents that affected them permanently.
Neck pain and back issues will NEVER go away, they stick with you forever so you best make the most out of it. I am sorry that a dumbass with no insurance raped you like this, it pains me so to read your post |

If you did that then I'm sure you would have had a wreck long before this. And he is the one that ran into you because he wasn't paying attention. Just because you weren't bleeding or crippled doesn't mean something could have been damaged. People have been severely injured just from whiplash or other things that most people take for granted would be non-injury causing. I'm sure money isn't most likely a major issue. Even so, something like that needs to be checked out. Technically I should have gotten checked out after my wreck. But, I've never seen a use of most of the army medical community as a whole. Simply because a lot of the army doctors generally seemed lost to me. A lot of them these days are civilian contractors though. |

Beside, there is nothing that happening to you, and did not happen to your parents. They understand much more than you would think. |

You really should at least have someone look at it. Sounds like you pulled muscles and all that. A guys mentality?? So you find gas jokes amusing and laugh at Johny Knoxville a lot? |

Glad you're not seriously injured. You are justified in the way you feel right now. I remember my first accident and it is tough to deal with. I prided myself on being such a good driver yet it still happened. That's why they call them accidents. As a physical therapist, I can tell you it is important to see your primary care physician. Let them evaluate and document their findings. It's good to have everything that is a repercussion of the accident documented. Usually headaches from a car accident are in relation to whiplash. Yet never assume you don't have a mild concussion.
On another another note, maybe we'll get to see an affordable car insurance act by Obama before he finishes his last term. 'Obamacar' might fit quite well. That way we won't have to deal with the other set of idiots on the road. |

hey @Missy. Im a trauma surgeon so I have seen a few things, please dont take my advise lightly.
1) relax. Everything will solve itself eventually. Your car has a minor accident. Easily repairable, no issues. Im sure there is nothing in that car tht cant be repaired by professionals. If worst comes to worst your parents said they will help. Dont stress over this 2) Im pretty sure your headaches are just a concussion (effects of your brain rocking back and forth in your helmet) BUT you can never be 100% sure unless you get a ct of your head. This is important, do not take this lightly! 3) pretty sure ur neck pain is just strain but you still need xrays to make sure your neck is fine. Your parents wont yell at you for wanting to get yourself checked! Its your health and im sure they love you and do not want to see you hurt. ER's get this all the time and will process you rather quick. All you have to do is show up. They have a legal obligation to help you whether u have health insurance or not. IF you decide not to go... pay special attention to your headache! Any dizziness/ lightheadedness, double vision, nausea, vomiting is an ominous warning. Brain hemorrhages can show up late after the trauma. I do not want to scare you, but I do want you to take care of yourself ok? dont worry about the car. These things tend to work themselves out |
