What intersection is that and what direction were you going?

[wax_job]

One word for this morning. 'Sore'

What an inconvenience...

Thanks for all the kind words guys.

Geometry: (intersection of Holly and Arapahoe)

Us - On Holly (NB) waiting to turn into Arapahoe (WB)

DBag - On Arapahoe (WB) Turning onto Holly (SB)

Oncoming traffic - Arapahoe (EB)

All happened around 6:30, so yes, sun was on the horizon.

Just a couple of air bag burns...

Glad you and the fam are relatively ok. ^ Those things can be brutal. My little bro got hit by a bus in a old Geo Metro, the air bag severely burned half of his face. Never fully healed from it.

man you need a bigger vehicle

yeah i know the littler car gets better gas mileage, but there is no replacement for steel and mass

Wax_job- one thing to remember, the other driver, if they have insurance (God, I hope they do)- and you are hurt (even now, you say sore, go get it checked out!) they should have med pay and any injuries sustained from the accident are on them, not you. Good luck, glad everyone is okay (ish).

This is not true. Medpay is a first party coverage. For example, if you have $5,000 of Medpay on your policy, then your injuries will be treated, using YOUR coverage; for up to the $5,000 limit. Anything over the $5,000 can then be covered by the other driver's Bodily Injury Liability coverage. However, you don't just send bills to the other insurance company with the expectation that they will directly pay the bills. They will not settle with you until you are done treating. After you are done, and all the bills have been collected, they will offer you a settlement amount. Medpay is also non-subrogable in Colorado.

Don't let this post freighten you though, as I was just trying to be clear on the difference between Medpay and BI Liability. I would not expect your injuries to come anywhere near $5,000, if that happens to be your Medpay limit. $5,000 Medpay is the most common level of Medpay coverage that I see in Colorado. Glad Everyone is okay.

I know an awesome insurance lawyer that you should probably chat with....PM me if you're interested.

Glad to hear you and the family are pretty much OK!

Oh man do I know that feeling.

I was exiting the freeway in Providence RI to down town and my exit lane is right next to a jersey barrier. On the other side of the barrier is the street I am getting onto. Guy came to the end of the barrier and hung a right in front of me.
