| The Car that Stranded at Fast Lane |
Gosh, here are some photos of my first car accident after so many years of driving. I thought, I post it here as record and reminder that we all should always adopt precautionary driving attitude when we are on the road. My car was badly damaged at the rear....I was not at fault and successfully claimed against the other party's insurance that hit my car. The whole accident was caused by a young lady, losing control of her car which she hit the concrete divider and stranded behind a "blind spot", at fast lane!!! I was at fast lane then...but due to the blind spot, I took precautionary measure to slow down...I'm glad that I did....otherwise there could be more serious damage, serious injury or even lost of life...the young lady was in shocked that she was a sitting duck in her car which was behind a blind spot at fast lane!!! Gosh, I have to repeat that....she should have stayed away from her car at somewhere safe and did something to warn incoming traffic....The accident took place in early morning in November, 2011.

It's been almost a year since that accident happened. And I’m glad that you’re fine without any serious injury. At least, you thought of slowing your car down in order to minimize the impact. Anyway, did you already repair it after or buy a new one?
It’s been 10 months since then, I hope you were able to recover well from that unfortunate incident. Did you use the car accident claim to repair your car, or did you buy a new one? If I were you, I would’ve bought a new one, especially if the damage to the car was too severe. But did you take it to a car repair service center? What did the technicians there say?
It is true that even if you consider yourself a good and careful driver, you may still find yourself a victim of a road accident. So it would be wise to take precaution while driving, and it is good that you got the auto accident claim early on. Having those pictures can really be a big help in getting the right compensation, as those can show what happened and strengthen your case. I hope the claim can cover the repair expenses for your car, or it can help you get a new one.
I agree with what Javier said that even if you think that you are a good driver, you can still be a victim of a road accident. This should be a lesson to all drivers out there; you’ll never know what can happen when you are on the road. Anyway, at least you had gotten a compensation for the accident. What did you do with it exactly? Did you get your car fixed, or did you buy a new one?
It’s been a year since the accident took place. I’m hoping that the said accident would not be repeated. So what did you do with this car after recovering your compensation? Did you repair and sell it? Or, are you still using it right now? Anyway, your car was not severely damaged, so I’m pretty sure that a simple repair and repainting could bring back its exquisite look.
When we’re driving, we must be twice as careful. A simple mistake like hitting the brakes too early can cause a fatal accident. Anyone who’s on the driver’s seat must remember that they are the ones in-charge of the lives of everybody in the car. Drive safely!
Thanks for sharing your experience with the car accident to us. Good thing that none of you got hurt. Anyway, I just want to add that this kind of serious car accident can be defended in the court. Youmay hire a personal injury or car accident lawyer to file for claims with payment of the damages and injuries from the offender. Hope you have totally moved on from that accident.
That’s very responsible of you to slow down although you are in the fast lane, my friend. You are one good example of an obedient driver that knows how to drive safely. I’m glad that the concerning party was guilty that the fault is on her and that you did not have problems with your car insurance.

It's good to hear that you are okay. Car accidents can be very scary and dangerous. My uncle was recently in a car accident and was injured. He was awarded a monthly payment for the damages. He soon after got into financial trouble. Luckily he was able to get a cash for structured settlement payment. He was then able to pay all of his abilities and other expenses.
Hey guys and girls, thank you for your comment. Sorry for the late reply as I didn't notice all of your comments until only recently. Thanks for visiting my blog!
Also to add, as drivers or road users, we are responsible not only for our own lives but also for others...so drive safely and most of all...be alert all the time. If you are tired, stop at somewhere safe and take a short rest before you embark on your journey.
Dear Penelope, the compensation received was used to fix my car :)
