My Car
Accident Story
In
fractions of seconds memories of my life ticked across my mind. They were
memories of gratitude as I looked at this young man and saw what I was doing at
his age. His shiny new truck brought me to my big Oldsmobile my father gave me
for graduation. His rumpled hair caused me to see my mother tugging at my own
better-get-it-cut-today hair.
Images in
my mind were changing with every different glance of my eyes.
The seat next to him was empty. I felt alone standing on that street filled with
onlookers and stopped cars, and then I remembered the two people who were ahead
of me in the plodding little truck.
Car Accident Story
They were pushed 200 feet further in front and then up onto the meridian past my
car. The oncoming curb I prayed to miss was in their way, too. That little truck
moving so slowly was hit with such force that it bounced on that curb three
times before stopping crosswise to the way this experience all began.
I ran to them while looking at the faces in passing cars staring at me.
I almost laughed. They looked so odd driving by, mouths open and wide-eyed. I
know they were trying to figure it all out. They wouldn't get it.
I could see movement in the little truck.
I pulled hard on the door to open it. In Spanish the driver was telling me his
wife was in much pain. She looked so hurt, but I couldn't tell why. The
driver looked at me as though I came to save them and at that moment, I realized
I didn't know what to do.
I never planned for this. In all my education with first aide and various health
studies or in any car accident story I read, I never planned to look at a woman
who was hurting in that way and know how to help her.
I felt so bad for these people. It wasn't enough that his wife was
fortunate to be alive. I felt helpless and useless.
At that moment the atmosphere changed almost as though it went from very thin to
very thick. People were coming over to offer assistance. I could hear all the
noises of the street that I had blocked out.
It wasn't my responsibility anymore. I could return to my car and rest.
Car Accident Story
For a
brief time I had been thrown out of my life and into just what mattered in those
moments.
What an odd set of thoughts. It was now time to take care of myself and from
there I pulled out my cell phone to contact my insurance agent. A police
officer arrived.
There were
no deaths and no obvious injuries, but I had been changed.

What
does a Car Accident Settlements attorney do?
- An attorney will advise you of your rights, tell you
timetables and offer important information to help you get a
fair settlement that the insurance company may not
present.
- An attorney may possibly pay for medical bills in
advance if she believes the case will win that money
back.
- An attorney will write a demand letter for
settlement to the insurance company which carries
much more significance to the insurance adjuster than
a letter you write on your own letterhead.
Do
you need an attorney?
- An attorney will present documents in court when
necessary, but the fact is that almost 95% of claims
never go to court.
- The most contact you have with an attorney is by
phone after that free initial consultation.
