405 freeway going North.....that sucks.

When insurance calls first thing they ask before confirming that its LewFx on the phone is did you get hurt in the accident. Be prepared and exaggerate.

I can tell you from personal experience that "whiplash" injuries can take years to recover from.

Your first step is to see your doctor which starts the paper trail. Tomorrow.

wah.. i hate the 405. it's like the most congested freeway. like an ant colony lined up end-to-end.

sometimes i even wish the line of cars turned into ants so i could just run them over >=b

That sucks, but that's what insurance is for. You're in the clear since you got rear ended.

Suppose to take 1 every 4 hrs or when needed, check with your Doctor.

Sorry to hear this happened. I had a brand new GL premier edition rear ended with less than 1k miles on the odometer. I hope you can recover soon, and btw, do you think the NeckPro head restraints helped?

So, did the CHP show up? And they did what, other than get you off the road?

And now that tomorrow is today, what does your Doc say?

And of course, SIGN NOTHING!

Looks ok. Problem is that she clearly can't drive... and has a poor taste in vehicles. PASS!
