My car accident
12 years ago
Yesterday on my way into work I was hit from behind at an intersection by a jeep wrangler. My taillights are gone, back windshield is gone, bumper is scuffed and bent in in multiple places and the trunk is unable to close.
There is a very good chance the car is totaled but since the airbags didn't deploy and the car looks fine other than that we are crossing our fingers that my car will be repaired. Value of my car, worst case scenario, is only $2500 so that will make finding a car extremely difficult since I can't afford a car payment right now. Because of this accident, I will miss two days of work, another thing I really can't afford to do. -.- Adjuster, Appraiser and the rental car will be taken care of Monday - when everything opens.
On top of that, neck started hurting yesterday and my neck and back are sore today.
It was not a good day for me and as I'm stressing out, I just thought I'd update people so they knew what was going on.

if it continues to hurt go to the hospital!!!!
I realize you may all ready know this, but just in case you hadn't thought of it, hold out for extra money to cover your time off work, and the time you have to spend finding a new car. And make sure they agree to cover any medical expenses, too..
Adjuster comes out tomorrow - so we'll see. I'm hoping it's not totaled!
I agree with Eddiebear, make sure your medical and time off is covered, as well. I got a bit screwed when it happened, since I had to rent a car to get to and from work, I had to pay out of pocket for that week before I got something else...
