Car Accident

Last week I was in a small car accident. I was in my Subaru waiting as number two at a crossing when I got smashed into from behind, and thrown into the car in front of me.
I saw the car in my rear-view mirror when it approached. The driver was looking down to her right and did not notice the cars in front of her until it was too late.
Luckily nor I, who was prepared, or anyone else got any personal injury. My car hook (is that what it’s called in English) took most of the smash from behind – and then my front bumper took the hit in front.
I had to file two reports - one with each car. And then I had to take my car to the shop to get an insurance assessment.
Although the blame was easy to fix the they told me that it would probably take a long time to get it settled since three insurance companies had to write each other back and forth for a while.
