Un [censored] believable. After this lady hurts my girlfriend's knee and smashed my face up last night by running a red light, today she announces she's suing us because "her neck hurts and she's in serious pain". She ran a light in front of witnesses, the cops say she obviously ran the light, she hit us going like 40 mph, totaled our car completely, nearly flipped us and now she has the nerve to lie? WTF???

And I'm sitting here looking like a goddamned racoon from the airbag.

Hopefully you have a good insurance agent. Make sure you keep in contact with your agent and they know it wasn't your fault at all and you don't expect to be held liable for anything. Also be aware of her agent coming to see you and taking a statement: be careful of what you say as they may try to trap you and trick you.

I'm reminded of an accident I was in once. It was on a suburban road where the speed limit was like 50mph. And it had just started pouring rain and the road was slick. It was somewhat heavy traffic but we were going the speed limit. We were going up a steep hill and couldn't really see what was beyond the hill.

Turns out there was a red light ahead and a very huge line of cars stopped that you couldn't really see. I could see the guy ahead of me and that's about it. He ended slamming on his brakes at the last moment and ramming into the back of the line and caused a 9 car chain reaction while going probably 45 mph. I slammed on my brakes and almost got stopped but probably hit him on his back bumper going about 10mph. Then I got bumped by the car behind me and the car behind him also bumped us.

(It was just a crazy situation: summer day, quick rain, weird slick road that really you'd think shouldn't have been that slick. While we were pulled off to the side of the road with the cops taking statements, 3 separate accidents happened, cars sliding into each other)

Anyways.....dude in front of me that caused the majority of the accident tried to blame it all on me. Even though all the statements were to the contrary. And his agent came to my house and checked on my car (which had no damage) and took my statement. His agent kept asking leading tricky questions trying to get me to take some responsibility for the chain reaction part of the accident. (I was liable for only back bumper damage to his car). I had a good agent tho who said baloney to the whole thing and defended me vigorously.
