Got Hit By A Car!


Tati

Recommended Posts

So...
I got hit by a car on Friday. I was crossing the street with my boyfriend, and this cabbie was turning left, apparently didn't see us and boom!
Im fine, bruised my left knee and butt cheek. My back is sore, but otherwise doing well. My boy scraped up his knee, and hurt his leg, but no serious damage.
We called the cops and filled a report, the cabbie is saying he wasn't at fault (which he was) and is fighting the ticket. I think were going to court in a month or so.

I just think its funny now, but kinda makes you think, what if we had waited another 5 minutes to leave, what if we had left 5 minutes earlier, what if the cab had hit me first and not him...I could go on forever.

I have been hit by a car 3 times (it was the same driver all 3 times) it sucks. my advice speaking from my own experiences is have the doctors look at everything regardless of how minor it seems. (I had a very minor pain in my elbow after the 3rd time almost didnt even notice it. now my elbow locks up and hurts like a bitch.)

Wondering the same thing. 3 times?!! wow.

I agree with everyone else in getting a personal injury lawyer. The company should be at fault just as much as the driver, as the company *should* be the insurance holder.

Good luck!

if you left 5 minutes earlier or later you could have been hit by a semi instead of a cab. dont think about the what if's. shit happens and you are both fine.

im glad that nothing worse happened to you guys, getting hit by a car is a big thing.

Glad to hear everything is ok. But yea you should sue and make sure that you get full checkups so that you know nothing else is wrong except mayb a bit of bruising (hopefully that is all). I like driving fast and all but you have to pay attention when driving...I yell at my friends when they dont.
