I've read that you're supposed to replace their car seat if you're ever in an accident, even a fender bender. Not sure if you knew that or if you want to do your own research (hell, things may have changed, my kids have been out of a car seat for a while now) but figured I'd give you the heads up and let you decide for yourself. Wouldn't want your car seat to be less effective if - heaven forbid - you have another accident.

We recommend this at our dealership as well. It's considered compromised at any speed typically.

Insurance will pay for it, too.

If insurance down there is similar to up here, I'd assume you'd have to pay a deductible, in which case the deductible is probably more than just buying a new one yourself.

Luckily we have an extra car seat so I just have to swap it out tomorrow morning. All night I've felt off. I'm not dizzy or anything like that. Have had a headache since almost immediately after it happened but didn't notice until later. I was more concerned with the kid than anything.

I actually don't think you pay the deductible. When I got rear-ended, I didn't have to pay anything.

They did assess the value of the carseat and only paid for someone equal to it.

Did you hit your head brill? Headaches and nausea screams concussion.

**Brill Weave** · 2016-01-21 21:45

Nope didn't hit my head. I'm worried about whiplash at the moment.

Was this on the parkway Wednesday night??? Cause in low speed rolling bumper to bumper traffic I watched the car in front of me inexplicably hit the gas and cause a four car rear ending chain.

No, Thursday evening out in Ross Twp on Siebert. I was at a complete stop and there were about 6 cars ahead of me stopped as well. Dude says his foot slipped off the break. On the plus side I don't feel horrible this morning. Neck is a little stiff and a headache but I can deal with that.

You don't have to pay a deductible if you get rear ended that is pretty much an auto fault on the other driver and their insurance will pay out to you for repairs, medical, etc. not your own insurance. At least that was my experience when I was rear ended. I called my insurance to tell them what happened then they went after the other drivers insurance company for all the expenses and I didn't pay a dime.

Also Brill don't hesitate to tell the insurance company that your neck hurt and you had a headache after they will send you to a doctor to have you checked out. Better safe than sorry on that type of thing.

So twelve emails in of a user begging me to trouble shoot her printer that she is yet to install and she still can't answer the simple question of did you download the software and then plug the printer into the USB port.

So coworker comes in with one of the wrinkliest set of pants and shirts. Like I'm not huge on uniforms or ironing or making everything perfect but it looks like this morning he pulled the clothes out of a crumpled wet pile. Also smells like it too. That every so great stench of clothe that's been kept wet for awhile

"Blizzard" in DC pretty much shut down everything. These motherfuckas are punks. Grew up in NY, lived in Germany for 4 years, they don't give a fuck about your 2 feet of snow.

This is state to state. In Michigan, we have "regular collision" (no matter who is at fault you're paying a deductible), or broadform (you only pay if you're at fault). This is strictly talking about the car portion. If the other party is at fault per the police and there is medical attention that needs to be addressed, then yes the at fault's party would have to pay. And of course, play it up as much as you can. Because, fuck insurance companies and their greedy ways.

I had a coworker come in today with no belt and his shirt untucked. He spent a good chunk of the day bent over showing his crack to everyone. Also disappeared for 30 minutes at a time, but he was totally working, right??
