Halcyon Posted May 16, 2012 Share Posted May 16, 2012 (edited) I dont know the details. I think he is okay. My mother was right nearby so she is going to help him. He was driving my car, and he says the damage is pretty bad. He isokay, and i believe the other driver is okay, too. ETA at 3:42 pm est. He is okay. Shaken up, but okay. The woman he hit was okay too, thank God. Miraculously, her car suffered no damage, while ours....well. THe entire front end is pretty much smashed in. The body guy says he thinks the insurance company won't consider it totalled, but would rather fix it, which is fine by me. I like my car and would rather not buy another. We'll have to wait til the insurance company takes a look, however. In the meantime, they will rent us a car for up to 30 days. The body shop says it will take about 3 weeks to fix (the main guy is going on vacation next week for a week, unfortunately). Hopefully he can order the parts before he leaves. I am so very grateful that nobody was hurt, I can't tell you. And it's amazing how much damage can be done to a car going only 5-10 miles an hour. Thank you for all your prayers.

Halcyon Posted May 16, 2012 Author Share Posted May 16, 2012 Halycon .. so sorry to hear about this but I am happy to hear that he is fine. I know you are so thankful for that .. now it's time to take a deep breath! Thanks everyone. We really could have used our car (it's bigger) during our move next week, but it's not the end of the world. We have insurance. DH is uninjured, the other driver is fine. The car will be fixed and my mother offered to help out financially if we need to pay a portion (we are strapped for cash, what with the move). I think it's partly that I was having a flareup of a chronic condition, and on top of the move, I just fell apart for a moment. Again, so grateful nobody was hurt.

Create Your Ritual Posted May 16, 2012 Share Posted May 16, 2012 I haven't been on the boards much today .. but I was alarmed to say the least when I saw your post. It is just a huge sigh of relief that everyone is alright .. but I would imagine the adrenaline response from all involved will take some time to come down from.

elegantlion Posted May 17, 2012 Share Posted May 17, 2012 I am so glad he's all right. I know this is a nitpicky detail, but I would wait until after closing on your house before getting a different car. Don't know what your plans might be, but I wouldn't want anything to jeopardize your financing on the house. :grouphug: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We realize this, in fact, our broker joked a while ago "dont do anything stupid like go buy a car in the next month!" hopefully the insurance appraiser will agree that the car can be fixed. The amount they would give us for a new car would be far less than we paid for this one, and i dont imagine we can get a very good car for that amount.
