So I got into an accident yesterday morning. Dude didn't stop at a two way stop sign. I was going 60, and then this.

I got my first ambulance ride. Broken clavicle.
Minnesota is a no fault state, but if it weren't, it'd be squarely on his 70 year old shoulders. I'm worried about the potential outcome. I'll call my insurance company in the morning and hopefully they can help me out, cuz today went by without a call from the guy or his insurance.

It was actually a really unique experience, and I'd love to expand on it once I can type with both hands again :S

Dang! Glad you were not hurt any more that you are. That stinks about the car though.

[JamesIvey24]

looks like a hard hit for sure, speedy recovery, hope the other driver was okay as well. ...plenty more gp's in the world

[Fivefingerdeathpunch]

No **** man, that's sucks big time.

I was just through St. Cloud yesturday driving a box van, I hate those 2 way stop sign roads up there because I've seen people never stop like that. Imagine a 11,000lbs van doing something to that thing....


Our state sucks balls with the no fault stuff but surely they should rule in your favor, no way they couldn't because how else does that kind of crash happen. Ambulance rides aint cheap either.

Like, forgive my ignorance, but it'd be up to the insurance companies, right? Let them duke it out?

Also, the other guy refused treatment. I'm so relieved he had no passengers... They would NOT have made it.

Yeah you pretty much have to wait and talk with them.


And white GP's man, they are out to get us. Though you are on the driving end this time.

This lady almost hit me head on up in swanville this past fall, she flipped it a few times.

Holy smokes. Man. It all begins when the police report is complete. Put all of everything out of your head. Be sure your insurance knows, thats all for now. Witnesses, witnesses too. It seems obvious though. You lay low and relax. I don't know laws in your state but am too familiar with this in mine. Just heal up.

Being a crash fixing man I gotta say that GP body did a mighty fine job on it's way out. (hums taps)

One of the cars that stopped to help... Another white GP.

At the risk of sounding melodramatic, I think I owe my gp my life!

I think she'll buff out. I drive a mini van full of kids. Your photos are making me rethink my choice of family car.. cuz that would have killed my wife and at least 2 of my kids. Im glad your are not seriously hurt your car took it like a champ!

[bg138287]

To be fair, you probably wouldn't have rolled through that stop at 20 like this old dude!

It's highway 4 south of paynesville... Three miles down from where I hit a deer on the same stretch of road.

Wow, that sucks. Glad you're overall okay. Was just kinda over in that area today on my way to Hutchinson.

What you plan on doing with the car?

[bg138287]

I'm gonna let it go. I have no idea what's gonna happen as far as a settlement goes. I have no idea what the number will be. Probably not much, but I'm missing work.

If it's a decent number, I'll get something else. If it's not, I'll either put winter tires on the FR-S or worse, have to sell it and get a nicer DD.

Ah, well, good luck on the settlement. I know insurance companies can be exciting....

[16MustangVet]

**** deal man could have been worse!

looks like the car fared much better than that van damn!!

more gp's in the world they are plentiful.

[Bronco Boy]

That looks nasty. Glad to hear you are walking and talking.

[bg138287]

Update - I called his insurance company yesterday. He hadn't filed a claim yet. He had two full business days to go it, and he didn't. So I opened one for him 😈 they let me open it on his policy, and the agent seemed to support me. I was in contact with my agent, and the automotive part is officially in insurance hands. Tomorrow I get a medical adjuster assigned to me, and that's the scary part to me. It's where I stand to either get helped out or totally screwed over. Any insight would be much appreciated.
