Hit

[bobquasit]

To sum up: we were rear-ended tonight in Franklin. We were in an intersection, waiting for the oncoming traffic to clear so we could make a left turn. A woman hit us pretty hard from behind. Sebastian started crying

Ouch!
Whiplash can be long-term nasty. I'd suggest getting that checked out if the pain lasts more than a day.

Get checked...your friendly EMT here is saying DO IT!!!

I'm glad Sebastian is ok. As for Allstate, excuse me but you were rearended! You don't pay a dime! It's on that woman's insurance 100%, including your medical expenses.

I've been rear ended in MA before, and because we don't have no-fault insurance in RI it can be a bit of a pain to get it paid, but her insurance is supposed to pay. I'd contact her insurance directly.

Don't file a claim with your insurance, just call hers directly. You shouldn't pay a cent.

I know, and Allstate gave us that option. But I think we tried that last time we were rear-ended - by coincidence it was the same insurer, Amica - and they basically told us to get fucked. Which is why I'm all the more puzzled that they called today and were so co-operative!

The other insurance company called Teri today, and told her that they would cover everything including the cost of a rental car while ours is repaired.

That surprises me.

Almost forgot: my neck felt much better when I woke up this morning.
