Car Accident

Well, this has been a fun week. As Scott and I were driving home from work last Tuesday night, we got caught up in the construction on 35W. Our lane came to a complete stop. I just happened to check my rear view mirror just as an Explorer came plowing into us from behind. She was trying to merge into the other lane and didn't realize we had all stopped and she smashed the back end of my new Infiniti. :(

Good thing the accident it wasn't very serious. I was more upset to have to deal with the mess. Plus I'm hormonal and to see my brand new car smashed in made me want to cry.

The woman that hit me was very nice and she gave me all her insurance information. I filed a police report and called her insurance company to get the paperwork rolling. To my surprise, the entire process was super easy. The woman who hit me took full responsibility for the accident... an assessor came out to survey the damage backing up the story... the insurance company mailed me a check for the assessed damages... we then brought our car into the shop to get fixed. In addition, I was set up with a rental car -a beautiful brown KIA RONDO. It's a sexy - mini van/hybrid/wanna-be SUV. I can't tell you how excited I am to get my car back!!

In the end I won't have to pay a dime for this whole debachle, nor will my insurance go up.

To add icing to the cake the woman who hit me called me over the weekend, to check in to see how I was feeling. You don't come across many nice people when you run into situations like this. I was thoroughly impressed!
