Have you ever been in any traffic accident?

What happened? How did you feel then? Who was involved in the accident? Did the insurance company pay for repair service? Were you sent to the hospital after the accident?

I was thrown out of a car when it was rear ended when I was about 7 or so. I went to the hospital for a few days and my parents got another car because that one was totaled.

I've been in a minor accident or two as an adult but there were no injuries and my vehicle was repairable. Both times the damage was in the $1000- 1500 range and I got a check to cover repairs.

Years ago I was. I was on a moped and a car came out of a side road and hit me. That part of my life though has gone, I remember leaving work and then waking up in hospital and nothing inbetween. Was not serious, just a small scar on my arm. Its the reason why I dont drive, I took lessons but was frightened i might not be able to stop the car.

Rather than killing someone I gave up, insurance was paid by other person

My 1st accident was when I was about 18. I smashed my Chev into the rear of a Mercedes Benz. My car was wrecked. Even the chassis was bent. Amazingly the Merc driver, my passenger and I were uninjured except for bruises and scrapes.
I was not insured and spent the next 10 yrs or so paying off that debt for repairs to the Merc. I was a stupid young man.

@Wraithorn Oh and here's another interesting one. I was about 20 and driving a police car (because I was a cop). In the early hours of the morning while on patrol I fell asleep. Luckily I didn't crash into another car. I ended up on the sidewalk with two wrecked wheels and a bit of bodywork damage. In that case the state (the taxpayer) footed the bill. I still hadn't outgrown the stupid young man stage...:-)

A few. Nothing serious, just people driving like knuckleheads. No hospitalization required and their insurance companies paid out.
