So, today I became the victim of a car accident for the THIRD time in two years.
I was on lunch at work, finished up eating my sub sandwich and got into my car. I've been driving my stepdad's '01 Buick Regal because of the last mishap I had, in which I destroyed my '03 Cadillac SLS.
So, I pull out of the parking lot and up to the stop sign leading onto the main road back to my place of work. I sit at the sign minding my own business, two cars in front of me and two in back. Out of nowhere, a cross-eyed hick-lookin' dumb fuck comes peeling around the corner in a heavy-duty 4x4 GMC truck, going way too fast, peeling rubber, and fishtailing like a motherfucker. Driving like a complete asshole. He loses control, slides all over, and ends up smashing right into the front end of my car.
It happened seemingly in slow motion and almost looked intentional. His chrome bumper hardly gets a scratch and now I only have half a headlight and a gaping hole in the fiberglass of my front quarter panel. Luckily, my car is still drivable and the insurance will cover it, and it was obviously his fault.
I had to wait an hour for the cop to get there, who basically just took my registration, filed a police report and told me to leave. The only justice was I had a witness who stayed, which led to this dumb kid getting a reckless driving.
Luckily, the only injury I sustained was my knee (which is already bad) took most of the impact from the accident, and is swollen to the size of a grapefruit. 
Any of you guys ever been victims of senseless idiots driving as such?
How'd it turn out? Did you get hurt?

There needs to be a driving vigilante. Like Death Wish on wheels. Somebody who goes out and "takes care" of these asshole drivers.

A few years back I had some 18 year old bastard with no insurance T bone the passenger side of my SUV at an un controlled intersection, he caused 3000 dollars worth of damage and Progressive (screw you Flo!  ) gave me 345 bucks or so.
I really hate people who do not use turn signals, or turn into the far lane instead of the close lane.

That's horseshit.. what was your deductable, $2655? that makes having insurance pointless.. Glad i decided against them. Geico hooked me up when i was a dumbass and ran into a pole in a parking lot because I thought a bug was in my hair.

Though that was a pretty good read, it was sheer disappointment when I realized the image of the car at an 80 degree angle wasn't the product of one of your accidents. :\
Also, so you're more on topic, what kind of injuries did you sustain from all those incidents?

About a week ago or two we had a horrible snow storm. Everything was white. So I pull up to a 4way and look around like a good driver and start driving. Out of nowhere I see this car out of my window as it slams into me. Luckily I was driving my SUV and received little damage.
While this wasn't that bad really, I got super pissed when both the ladies in the other car get out laughing saying "I totally knew we were going to hit you." Then why the fuck didn't you stop?
I mean afterwards I got a better look at the car. A low, all white car literally covered in ice and snow, with only enough windshield undone to see out in front and to the side. Most of the car was pure white. In a snowstorm with low visibility. Of course I hit it. And they wiped off a shit ton of snow before the cops showed up.

I have been rear-ended twice in the 13 years I been driving. 1st time I had a 1983 Chevy Cav Station Wagon that was at a dead stop waiting to make a left turn, when a minivan behind me wasn't paying attention and plowed me. (Car = Totaled)
2nd time I had a 1979 Chevy Chevette and got rear ended (At a dead stop behind a bus reentering the road from a busstop, when I was nailed by a 17 year old chick driving an SUV and yakking on her cell phone not paying attention. (Again, my car = Totalled.)
I have never owned another Chevy, and have never been in a wreck since.
Go figure.
Injuries = None, strangely. In, the 2nd wreck the force whiplashed me forward and a slammed my head into my sun visor and bent the metal bar inside it. I think I had a bruise for a day or twoo, but that's it.

Back in 2001, while walking to school, I was hit by a car while crossing the street. The dumb bitch was talking on a cell phone and ran a red light. My left leg was broken, my left arm as dislocated, stitches all over my body, a gash in my arm that left bone exposed, shards of glass in my back from the windshield, just generally fucked up pretty good. I haven't been able to walk normal since though I can hide it pretty well.

I live in MN. Right now its -10 and the most roads are iced over. Needless to say it's like smothering your wheels in PAM. It's only a matter of time...

September of 06 I am sitting in an off ramp, traffic on it backed up a little, but not back onto the highway, let me also mention I was on a bridge, the 83 south bridge that goes from Harrisburg to Camp Hill, or East shore to West Shore. Anyway, this women in a Suzuki Gran Vitara Read Ends me, I am able to kinda pull of to the side of the road, but not really, being a bridge and all. At first I am pissed at her, but then look back an see this Saab all fucked up. I mean hood accordioned up, windshield smashed out, entire front end on the ground, engine mostly gone, everything. Here what happened is this jackass was going lord knows how fast and hit her, and then into me. I look forward, since she pulled off in front of me, and see her rear bumper hanging off, back hatch/door pushed way in, exhaust dragging on the ground, both rear lights busted out etc. I did get justice, I called the cops right away, apparently I was first to out of the 3, and they got their fairly quick. I told him everything, also because I wrote everything down that happened before, and he was cited heavily by the state cop, and his insurance paid for all my stuff and the woman's, and I found out that the policy was in his wife's name since he was such a shitty driver.

TAKE PICTURES AND GO TO A DR!!!
In the event that your leg doesn't heal correctly, you will be thankful you have done these two steps.
I have been in a few accidents, some my fault, others not. Thankfully no one has ever been injured in any of them. One day I'll list them, but not today.

This past summer I was driving to a staples looking for a part to my PC. I was on a highway and I came to my exit that I have taken alot. Well I turned right on red and if you know how I drive I am a fucking paranoid driver, I look 6 times back and forth. So I decide that it is clear and I enter the road. As soon as I am in my lane my next turn is my immediate right so I start to shift into the lane when an old lady swerves into the lane I was in, hitting the side of my car. So I slow down enter the parking lot, when the old bitch gets out of the car and starts yelling at me as loud as she could.
Well the cops showed up and I told them my story, she comes over start screaming "THAT LITTLE BASTARD NEVER STOPPED! GIVE HIM A TICKET, SEND HIM TO JAIL." So the cop's partner took her aside and began talking to her to calm down.
Ultimatly the insurance company decided in my favor 100% and the 89 year old hag is in the process of losing her liscense since it's not the first one she caused.

My guess is that either they declared it a "total loss" (not likely) or found him partially at fault.
You also need to remember that when someone hits your car, you need to go after -their- insurance company to get repaid...that's what the mandatory insurance laws cover (your insurance covers what you do to someone else). If their insurance company is a bunch of assholes, not much you can do about it.
And while it's on my mind, while I haven't been in an accident on the road (been nailed in a parking lot), I have a quick caps-lock rant:
IF THE TRAFFIC LIGHT IS OUT, IT'S NOW A FUCKING STOP SIGN! DON'T JUST CRUISE RIGHT THROUGH IT! STOP THE FUCKING CAR!

Nothing exciting for me, really...one accident in my 7-year driving career, although it was my fault...I was arguing with my ex-girlfriend and rear-ended a pickup truck when the driver in front of him slammed on the brakes to make a left turn and he slammed on the brakes. I was a little too late to react, and hit him going about 10-15 MPH.
Nothing bad, really....my brother's car (a '95 Mustang) needed a new hood, that was about it.

I suffered pain in my bursa(?) in my elbow after flying over the car with my bike. Other than that, not a scratch.
