Car Accident
11 years ago
I was just in a pretty bad accident. Bad enough to where the air bags deployed. My car is basically totaled and insurance isn't going to cover it.
The good news, thank God, is I was hurt the most; just a scratch on the arms, probably from the airbag itself. Everyone else, including the poor kid sitting in my back right seat where the other car actually hit, was completely fine. Everyone walked away. My sister is shaken up quite a bit, being her first accident. Im not too shaken, I was more shaken up after I hit a deer a while back.
The real problem starts now though: I don't have a car or the money for a new one. This really couldn't have happened at a worse time. College is fast approaching, and I have to find a couple thousand dollars for that. We now only have 1 car between the 4 people in my family. I believe this is going to ruin us.
Buy American steel, kids. That probably just saved 3 people today.

But if the accident was their fault, their insurance company should be responsible for paying for the damages, as well as possibly paying for you to rent a replacement car for at least a short while. I'd definitely keep pressuring them for suitable retribution, or threaten to sue for damages.
As long as the accident was not your fault.
