I got a check for $3,500 today.

I had an accident seven years back due to fault of a bus driver and cab driver. My car was damaged and insurance covered it. But I got so scared that it took me few months to go back to driving.

I was rear-ended by a young lady who seemed to be learning how to drive. The fender was broken and it had to be changed. I got an estimate from the dealer's car shop (Ford) and had it repaired courtesy of the lady's insurance. That was 2 years ago.

Hubby was in an accident hit from behind once, a few years ago. We did get a settlement.

I was in 2 small car accidents when I drove. None of them was my fault.

That is great now you can get the rest of the repairs done and move on

Wow. That's a great loot. I HAVE been in accidents that were not my fault. Does not happen often. In the times it has happened I took the money and invested it. A vehicle is NOT an investment and I will spend NO MONEY on aesthetics. Just give me the money and I am happy.

I can honestly say that all the car accidents I've been in were not my fault. I don't drive.

Yes I was rear ended. I didn’t get much because the damages were minor. But my car was only a year old, so I couldn’t just let her walk either. Glad you got your check! Hope you aren’t hurt !!

We have never been in a car accidents, my niece all the time.

I've had a few that were not my fault. Most paid quickly. One lady had to be chased down by a witness since she rammed my truck while I was in a doctor's office. She was so mad she was cornered and even lashed out at the officer who arrived.

You are rich! How much will it cost to repair the car? Hubby recently had some guy that was going fast break his driver's side mirror. It's expensive to replace. He had the guy pay him for the damage, so when he replaces the whole darn thing he doesn't have to spend his own money.

Yes, I have been in a car accident when I was 9 months pregnant. Gladfully, I was only shocked and no serious damage execpt our car.

Ohh...I'm.sorry to hear this. was it the lady who sent you the cheque. That is a huge amount

two of them living in DC we have lots of aggressive drivers! One actually called my insurance company and said the accident was my fault. The insurance company called me and warned me my rates were going up. I sent them the dash cam video. it wasn't my fault anymore!

It's good that you got your money for the repairs. I've never been in a car accident myself.

Glad you have that settled now

That was nice. I have only been in one major accident and that was when I was literally driven off the road by what turned out to be a very nice young man who presumably just wasn't paying attention. I still can't quite imagine how he did it, because he overtook my car (I was driving at about 60 mph with my 5-year-old daughter and we were singing 'We're nearly home' as we drove) and then basically just pulled into the front of me. It simply wouldn't have been possible for him not to know I was there as he had just passed me! I was forced off the road, heading for a band of trees at a rapid rate, I yanked the wheel round to avoid them and the car spun 180 degrees and smashed into the trees backwards instead. Luckily we were both fine; the outcome could so easily have been quite different. My daughter was in the front seat; if she had been in the back as many people recommend she would have been cut to pieces with all the broken glass. She said 'Why did you do that Mum?' The other driver stopped, came over to help us out of the car, and asked 'Did I hit you?' I was tempted to be sarcastic - I don't normally just randomly drive off the road! But he was very nice, and another driver also stopped and said he had seen it happen and offered to be a witness if required. But my car was written off and because it was quite old I only got a minimal payout.

Glad that you have it resolved. I don't drive and never have so no car accident is my fault. My mother hit my ex husband's car while trying to back out of the driveway after a storm. Dented the front right headlight. They didn't go through the insurance company. My mother had just gotten her liscense so my ex cut her some slack and they settled peacefully out of court.

No thankfully but good you already received the cheque as compensation

Wow, that's taken a while! Every accident I've been in has been the other party's fault. I was rear-ended by a young driver who quite frankly had no business being on the road (my friend's mother worked for her insurance company and helped me file the claim against her policy; that was her third at-fault accident in as many days according to their systems). Then a deer ran right into the side of my car. Most recently, an older guy drove right into me in a parking lot. Didn't look my way, didn't stop at the stop sign in his aisle... first thing out of his mouth when it happened was "I didn't even see you there!" Um... yeah, I guessed that when you drove into the side of my car, dude. That last one annoyed me because he did about $2,500 in damages to the front corner of my car and his truck had one little scratch on the bumper. Being able to move on after dealing with all that baloney is a really great feeling. Hope you're able to get it taken care of without too much inconvenience!
