    doesn't look like a total, but that tire was angled inward after the accident, and when i tried pulling out of the road, it hobbled.

    some lady tried merging into my lane and pushed me out of it onto the curb. i was heading straight into a light post until last second when i steered away just enough to avoid it. no one was seriously injured although i hit my head on the ceiling when i jumped the curb. starting to hurt a lot more now that the adrenaline is wearing off.

    stay safe bros.

    Working on it.
    That sucks! But at least no one was seriously injured. Still get checked out by your doctor just to be sure. Head neck and spine injuries are not always readily apparent and can manifest a while after the accident bulging disks etc. hopefully you get a clean bill of health.:fingerscrossed:

    never been involved in a serious accident, just a minor one.

    are those urgent care centers appropriate for a minor accident like this? don't think going to an ER is necessary. but i've had a concussion when i was younger and this is starting to feel very similar.

    thanks for the well wishes. i feel very lucky to not have a life-threatening injury. it could have easily gone another way.

    Bummer!

    Either prompt care or the ER I think would work.

    If you go make sure to keep copies of all the paper work. If you're not at fault (which it sounds like you aren't) they'll take care of it.

    I agree with the others, get checked out as swelling can occur after the fact.

    ER sounds very much necessary, do not take a chance bro.
    Hope it all turns out well.

    If you go to the ER make sure they know you were "in a bad car accident. Don't downplay it. That way you won't wait. ;)

    Get checked out. Stiffness in neck is very likely. Don't except any $$$$ from any payoffs if it gets that far. Because once you except a lump sum. That's it. Notta nothing more after that.
