it's probably a good thing that the airbags didn't deploy, if the impact was great enough to need airbags that guy's knee would be gone, not dislocated.

I turns out the guy's knee was the least of his problems. He also has a fractured tibia and calf bone, which he won't be able to get treated until tomorrow.

I feel so bad for that guy!

I'm also not feeling that hot myself. My back and neck are pretty sore. Can't complain, though... Not when another guy is in the hospital!

Doc Zaius! You a real doctor? I needs drugs for my pain...

Sorry guy... It's an honourary title. But I do have some tylenol here if you come up to Canada!

But seriously... at least you're not the guy with the broken knee and legs. But you should still get checked out!

Just one leg, thank God...

Yeah... I need a ride to the hospital. My back is killing me right now. I had a couple of Ibuprofens a while ago, but they didn't really do the trick I suppose.

for legal and financial reasons, you should probably see a doctor asap - my mom was in a minor accident a few years ago and she is about to get a pretty nice junk of change (not huge huge, but enough to do some nice re-modeling of her house)...

oh man, sorry to hear that... and kind of creepy after our discussion yesterday of testing airbags and rebars!!!! I was only joking when I asked you to crash into something!!!

But seriously I am glad to hear you are mostly fine, I hope your visit to the doctor will go well.. and hey, if you still have pain, it's nothing a few shots of tequila won't fix

I'm not the kind of guy who'd sue for any reason, but that new speed bump seems like a really bad decision, aren't they supposed to make things safer??? You could maybe get in touch with the other drivers who crashed and get some sort of class action lawsuit or something like that, I'm not sure if it's a possibility for you...

Edit your thread, say you're in pain... hurry. When posting pics block out your tags and change your profile too. Insurance cos scour forums, don't wanna IDed or quoted out of context

im glad ure ok homes, and the fact ure still in tact lol. little off topic, is the car repareable? cause the amount of force you needed to fracture his lower exterior must have taken a toll to your front. and if its a totalled ride, i get dibs on the side panel trims :P called it T lol

Can you sue government entities in Mexico? Sounds like a losing proposition as the lawyers will be paid off by the officials to go away....

Is Mexico as litigious happy as the US? I dont know??

I know right?! I've been thinking about the same thing myself. Kinda weird, huh?

Honestly, I would much rather get a new car at this stage. I'm almost certain that just getting it repaired will not leave it the way it originaly was.

You sure can! I'm planning on doing just that, in fact.

Not even close. The US has to be the biggest one in the planet when it comes to this.

<works in insurance(claims reporting to be exact) though it may sound serious, does not sound serious enough to total out thge veh.. sounds very fixable so long as the frame wasnt tweaked.. i have taken 2 accidents involving yaris.. both were a lot more severe and did need to be totaled(one girl fell asleep & the other was involoved in 7 car pileup.. both sedans) i think this is totally fixable.. glad that your okay, see a doc asap, get that money...lol thought of moving to us? lol i will never drive down to mex.. im afraid neither me or my car will ever be seen again..lol too many horror stories from claims class...ha ha ha ha ha
