I drove my mom over to a party at her friend's house in Pompton Lakes (NJ) on Sunday. Anyone who knows that area knows that it can be confusing, so I had to do the driving. Things is, we drive all the way from Newark to Pompton Lakes, and were on Rt. 21/McCarter Highway South about a mile-and-a-half from home, when a van decided to make a U-turn onto 21 North from the lane on the right and crashed right into us. The airbag's deployed and the car's a loss. We wound up getting taken to the hospital. After checking us out, they found that we had both had deep bruises and I had a "slight" fracture on my ankle. It's on the fibula bone of the ankle, so a least I can walk on it gingerly.
I guess it's all a matter of perspective. This could have been a lot worse, as I'd never been in a car accident that bad before, but it sucks that I was planning to go to my first NJCC and now the car's gone. I also don't know when I'll be able to drive either. It's ruined my plans on top of everything. |

Oh, man, that sucks. Who tries to make a U-turn from the right lane, anyways? Are you at least going to be OK in terms of compensation for the car and/or medical?

Your insurance might have a rental car clause, check into that.

Glad you weren't seriously hurt. This week I was parked in front of some trees at work. There was a storm that day. When I went out to my car at night after work, half of the tree I was parked in front of had snapped off and fallen down. It was strong enough to shear off all the branches on the right side of a pine tree next to it as it fell. It was covering at least 3 parking spaces to the right of mine. But it fell at an angle that made it not even touch my car. On the ground it was laying just inches away from my car. God seems to want me to go to NJCC...

Glad that you are both ok. Hopefully the idiot in the van is as well. I would definitely check into your insurance coverage to see if you can get a rental. If you don't have the option have your insurance company check into anyway as the other driver who was at fault insurance may have to cover it. I don't know exactly how far you are from NJCC so I can't recommend driving a rental yo fat as it can get kind of costly. Best of luck brotha I hope this all gets resolved for you soon.

The world would be a better place without bad drivers. Because of your injury you definitely need to get a lawyer to represent you. The insurance company of the driver is going to do everything they can to dismiss thier liability and pay as little as possible.
