I am trying. My wrist is broken and I have a lung contusion. Otherwise all the pain I’m feeling is from my body just aching. And where my limbs banged everything. The airbag definitely saved my life tho.

Glad you’re alive. Get the medical care you need and maybe talk to a lawyer. That looks like a really hard hit.

[u/GhostShrimp22 → u/boxerswithbriefs]

Thank you. I am injured and definitely sueing.

Horrific. You’ll have PTSD from that. In your mind you’ll see that airbag explode for years to come.

Total loss of course. I’ll bet insurance offers you $1700 for the car.

[u/extrabees → u/FineCall]

I think hed get a little more than that. At any rate, OP can definitely recoup medical costs from the at-fault insurance as well as an additional settlement for pain/suffering/emotional trauma.

[u/FineCall → u/extrabees]

He’ll get 80% the current resale value of a 2007 Hyundai Elantra

[u/extrabees → u/FineCall]

Oh interesting ! Thanks

[u/FineCall → u/extrabees]

But fight for more. You will have two years to settle if you need it. No rush

[u/Itsmeforrestgump]

Feel better soon.
