1-800-ASK GARY
Yeah, that's the number TK needs to be calling. Some stupid ho just ran a red light and hit him. He was going to Publix to get us some ice cream and calls me not 10 minutes later... some chick just blew a red light and smashed right into him!!! So he calls me to come pick him up and bring his new insurance card... so I get the baby in the car, drive over there, etc. and this idiot who nearly killed him is just standing there all pissy!!! I brought him his phone and paperwork, had him put some stuff from his car in our other car, and I left. I was about to go off on this woman so I figured I should leave. Apparently she told the officer that she GETS NERVOUS driving downtown. PLEASE. Downtown or not downtown RED MEANS STOP. If you saw the car you would know why I am so upset... she hit him on the back of the driver's side, the rear wheel is caved in, the door caved in, etc... had she hit a foot closer to the front of the car she could have killed or seriously maimed him... People need to learn how to friggin drive. Seriously... I almost got killed last week at that same intersection... some guy took a LEFT TURN from the RIGHT LANE and cut me off as the light turned green... GOOD THING THE BEEMER HAD AWESOME BRAKES or I would have smashed right into him and it would have been HIS fault. Of course I always think the "what if... the baby was in the car... what if... she'd hit him harder or closer to where he was sitting... what if there was more traffic when it happened..." Bottom line - this girl is dumb. She was OBVIOUSLY not paying attention.
So now he is on the phone with the insurance company, refusing to go to the hospital or call a doctor. His neck already hurts and you know what injuries like this from car accidents - it won't hur that much right now but a few days from now he's going to be really sore... and it might even bug him for years... so I am saying GO NOW. Get your injuries documented. The entire car spun around and was facing the OPPOSITE DIRECTION.. obviously that whips your body around. Shit, I'd be suing for emotional distress because those few seconds when the car is spinning and you've just been hit must be like life flashing before you...
The thing that made me the most mad is that this girl just stood there like she didn't do anything wrong. She was on the phone with someone saying "I don't know why you are being nasty to me it was just an accident"... I bit my tongue. I figure me going off on the chick wouldn't make her more intelligent so I just kept quiet. If I had hit someone like that I'd be hysterical, not standing there like I didn't do anything wrong.
Of course TK being the calm, nice person he is "isn't mad". Had she hit me I probably would have gotten out of the car and beat her ass down! Actually, no... I can't fight... but I'd defintely be making sure she was crying.
What a freaking pain in the ass... and now we are both hungry and could REALLY use some ice cream even more and we don't have any lol... not even any soda...

Knowing I can't fight either I would have opened a can of whoop ass on her anyhow. I hate folks who can't drive.
Accidents suck! My husband was in one several months ago and the woman that hit him had the same reaction as the one that hit TK. Actually, she was even refusing to take blame! Asked him why HE hit HER! Let's see, she was pulling out of a shopping center and hit the back of the passenger side, but that was my husband's fault! WHATEVER! Then on top that off our insurance company was completely useless. I don't know why we pay these people all this money for them to have attitude and act like there is nothing they can do to help us. Just sucks because now your life is going to be spent making phone calls for the next few days.
I completely agree with you about people that don't know how to drive. The ones that speed through the school zones really make me mad. In fact I had a guys speed around me and cut me off (almost hitting the front of my car) in a school zone. People are in such a rush....SLOW DOWN!!!!!
Well I hope TK is OK and everything goes smoothly for you.
Dana,
Try to really get TK to go to the DR. As you said, the later days will be the worst. I was in an accident 10 yrs ago and at the ripe age of 28, I have bad back problems ever since. Seriousley, drag him there- besides, later down the road if big problems do arise, he'll have nothing to fall back on to go after her skank ass.
other than that, glad to hear he's ok for the most part, my husband travels through Fl. every week for work and one of my greatest fears is that he'll get in a serious accident.
Hope you get everything taken care of without to big of a headache.
