She called to say car got hit...I said where..she was all upset gave vag answer..i heard sirens but did not realize goingn to her accident. I could SEE all the firetrucks , ambulances etc..when I drove up..i saw HOW bad the cars were...she was out walking (so knew not badly hurt) guy ran red light-witness' stopped to tell cops. All we get is value of her car and to get new one LOTS of money! Stinks he is wrong and costs us LOTS $

Thanks for listening..

    But good that your daughter is OK....

    Does this goofball have insurance? That is normally the other thing about these idiots...drive reckless, with no insurance!!!

    Hugs to all!
    Thank goodness she's okay! It may take lots of money but the car can be replaced - she can't be. Thankful prayers are sent as well. That whole experience can be really scary.

    So glad your daughter is okay, Denise
    While the financial aspect may be really hard--this too shall pass and be resolved. God was taking care of your daughter that day, and that's what's important.

    That is so great that she is
    That is so great that she is fine - that's all that really matters.

    I don't understand why you think it's going to cost you/her "LOTS $". His insurance will pay you/her what the car is worth so it can be replaced with basically the same vehicle it was Y no it won't buy a brand spanking new vehicle to will replace 'in kind' (comparable. Also his insurance will cover the tow bill and supply a rental car for her until she is paid for it and has a chance to find a replacement. If he had no insurance then it should be handled through the Uninsured Motorist on your insurance or through your state.

    Walking around does not necessarily mean that there is no injury. We were tail ended by a brand new full size Blazer with oversized tires. She literally drove over the left rear of our big old Caddy. The good Lord was with her that day as she had asmall (prob.3 y/o boy) and an infant in it and not in constraints and stopped inches from a 30 - 40 ft drop into the Bay. Son seemed fine and went across the road to where we were taking him to work to be sure they called Island County Sherrif. He came back and sat down and it became obvious he was confused - wanted to know why there weren't any palm trees there - we were on Whidbey Island in Puget Sound so he was taken to the hospital - concussion. Vet was called as his dog was also not 'right' and spent the night at the Vet Clinic - concussion. Point is - walking around does not mean there is nothing 'wrong'.

    prayers and good thoughts for your daughter.
    How terrible -- God's hand was on her, no doubt in my mind.

    Hopefully the insurance companies will expedite matters so there is no hardship
    on your daughter.

    what a relieve that your
    what a relieve that your daughter walked away from the accident and doing good....I'm a bodily injury adjuster for an automobile insurance company and see this ALL the time...some of the stuff I investigate makes me want to cringe at the thought that my 16 yr old daughter is just starting to drive.

    If you need any assistance or advice on your car or daughter let me know...

    Take Care
