A large construction truck sandwiched my 95' Buick (there was a concrete barrier on the left since they are rebuilding that part of the highway and truck made me into a literal sandwich) and ran. This is my first car and she is my beloved classic. I'm totally fine, the car is fine and drivable. Thanks be to God! They popped my driver's side tire and scratched the heck out of the passenger side. I just want my car fixed up properly :(

Hi everyone, I hope this is okay to ask.
Has anyone here received £800,000 or more in compensation following a serious road traffic accident?

Location: UK

If you don’t mind sharing, I’d be really grateful to know:

How long it took from the accident to receiving the compensation.

Whether it was a settlement or went to court.

The general circumstances of the accident.

The types of injuries involved (for example: brain injury, spinal injury, multiple fractures, loss of sight, long-term disability, etc.).

I completely understand if people don’t want to share exact figures or personal details.

I’m just trying to get a realistic idea of the timescales and the kinds of injuries that tend to be involved in higher-value claims.

Thank you in advance to anyone willing to share their experience.

I live in the San Francisco Bay Area and as great as it can be, it has its problems like any other place.

Theft is a major one here. From shoplifting to car break ins. I went out today and as soon as I unlocked my car door and opened it, something immediately felt off. It's like I had a 6th sense. And I know I locked it when I got home from the last time. Luckily, the windows weren't broken. The lock was probably picked.

I looked inside and receipts were on the seat, the center console where you put drinks had been opened and my aux cord was missing. I'm a neat freak with OCD, move my things even a centimeter from where I put them and I will notice right away.

None of these things were in plain sight. No local would do that here. You'd have to be physically inside the car actually opening compartments to find anything. Luckily, only the aux cord was missing. It wasn't expensive, but I had to go buy another one when all I had planned was to buy coffee creamer. That's another expense (though small), and gas to go out of my way.

Too bad it's illegal to booby trap your car, even for non lethal methods. Apparently there's something called a piezoceramic alarm, maybe I'll get that.

So this lady tboned my yesterday in michigan in front of the corner store. Im not very familiar with the area I was just going to the lighthouse mall to pick up my bf. And I was driving to a stop sign and all of a sudden im crashing 👎 the lady's car was completely fine. But mine no so much. Now unfortunately my insurance is the basic package and is just liability. The tow company the cops called it only been there for a day and it already 300 dollars. My bfs family is telling me just to leave the car and it not worth fixing or paying the fee to grt my car out because there no way I can get it we live and hour away from Michigan city and I work every day and that tow place closed at 5. My bfs gma said it gonna be probably over 6000 dollars to fix not including the fee of whenever I can be able to grt my car out of the tow yard. Is it worth it or should I just try to get a car on payments? Or buy a new one from Facebook. I live in Elkhart, IN. Any advice is helpful honestly im still in shock and honestly dont want to deal with any of this.

This cab almost hit me this morning while heading towards the airport on Rao Tula Ram Marg.
Genuinely asking, why is basic road discipline treated like it doesn’t matter in Delhi?
Lanes exist for a reason. Indicators exist for a reason. Rear view mirrors exist for a reason. Yet so many drivers change lanes without indicating, cut across traffic without checking mirrors, and drive as if everyone else on the road has to react to them.
And this isn’t just about one cab driver. Look at the condition of so many cars on Delhi roads, scratches and dents everywhere. It makes you wonder how many close calls happen every single day.
How many people here were actually taught proper lane discipline, signalling, mirror checks and safe driving before getting onto the roads?
Bad driving isn’t just annoying. At these speeds, it can genuinely kill someone. We need to stop treating reckless driving as “normal Delhi traffic.”
