Yesterday about 3:45 PM, an 18 wheeler rig driver
hit me from behind. I was going 53 MPH, he was
going much faster than that. My four door Blazer
fishtailed, and then went up on its side. Slid for a
while, and came to rest. The rig went into the ditch.
I got a courtesy ambulance ride (yeah, they will
demand money). And a hospital visit. This
essentially guarantees the next three to four weeks
of searching for another car, gulping ibuprophen,
dealing with insurance companies (better make
that double vicodin!) and more hassle.

The insurance company the other driver put on
the police report. They don't recognize the name
of the transportation company. My agent is going
to make a couple calls tomorrow. It will be interesting
to see. I sense trouble. Might be tough to get any
money out of them.

This is not a good way to spend Christmas season.

Sounds like you're not too banged up, certainly could be a lot worse
with an 80,000# enema. I wouldn't worry too much about the other
insurance as long as your insurance is ok. If it is, your insurance will
take care of you and their lawyers will go after the other company.
Transport operations seem to have a lot of sub names and dbas, so it may
be a relatively simple issue.
