Car Wreck The first thing the truck driver did was rush to my car and apologize for hitting me. He apologized at least two more times for "hitting me". IT CROSSES NO ONE'S MIND TO APOLOGIZE FOR A WRECK, IF THEY KNOW THEY WEREN'T AT FAULT He changed his story though after having several conversations with his boss; he told the patrolman that he never left his lane. The patrolman found us both non-contributers to the accident, as we both maintained we were in our own lanes, and there were no eye-wittnesses. I told the patrolman I was very confused by this, as the truck driver felt the need to apologize three times for "hitting me". The cop said his hands were tied at this point, it was either find us both at fault or both non-contributers. I was NOT podcasting at the time of the accident, but did have my recorder with me. I wish very badly that I had recorded the truck drivers apologies, so I could play them back to the patrolman. It was a miracle that I was not killed or even injured. The podcast studio on wheels didn't fair as well though. The car is unfortunately NOT totaled and is being repaired. The body shop tells me the estimate is a little over $6000.00 to fix the car. They are going to have cut the car in half (but not the frame) and replace everything. The car is less than two years old and only has 32,000 miles on it. My choices were to file this on my collision insurance, pay the $250 deductable, watch my rates go up, and let my insurance company seek reimbursement after the car is repaired, OR fight the trucking company myself. I chose the first option. I have been VERY sore, pulled muscles in the back and left arm and sholder, but I am feeling better now. I will post pictures when I can. I thank God for miracles and advil. posted 20:54 [/podcast] permanent link
