you get compensation for physical injury (whiplash etc), but even more for psychological damage (too scared to drive, bad dreams etc) :wink2: that's all i'm saying!

YOU MUST GO AND GET CHECKED OUT!!!! It will affect you at work with neck and back injuries, a record MUST be made by a hospital or G.P if a claim is to be made.
On a lighter note, my sis had her car stolen she paid £2,800 for it, but has been offered £3,200!!
Hope you feel better soon, please go for a check-up :hug: xxxx

Echoing the above -
Within 24 hrs go & be checked.
Photos of now - 2 days - etc as bruising will come out.
Regardless the truck hit you - their company vehicle is as responsible as the driver in it.
Rest & get onto it.
Blessings it's just a car you're replacing.:hug:

I totally agree with everything that everyone has said.
18 months ago my boyf and i were in a car crash which wrote both cars off. A woman pulled out into our lane from a side road without looking and we literally went through her engine. I was very lucky we were in boy'f Golf, as in my fiesta i would have lost my legs as i literally went through the middle of the engine.... it really did make me think about how cars are built...
It is of the UTMOST importance that you visit your GP or A&E for x-rays and the appropriate medical assessment. Anyone hit from behine is at risk from whiplash. it needs to be within the first 24-48 hours if possible, so that you can tell your insurers for them to use this in their claim.

So glad you've been to A&E, not surprised that you feel sick about it all.
When something like this happens we can't help but think about 'what could have happened', it's like someone else said, there are the psychological effects too. Hope you feel better soon xx
P.S, your avatar picture of your baby is sooooooo gorgeous!! Those kind of pictures make me broody! xx
