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.
