rearended pregnant

I was 22 weeks pregnant when I was rearended with my 4 year old in a carseat also and I'm just curious and anyone else been in an accident while pregnant? If so, believing that it wasn't your fault, how long did you wait to settle... the other insurance keeps calling so I've started to ignore their calls since I don't know what to say at the moment.

My mom and I were rearended when I was about 12. The insurance company didnt want to give us hardly anything. But my mom got a lawyer and he took care of everything. All we did was go to a deposition with our lawyer to tell the insurance representatives what happened. My mom ended up needing surgery on her neck and I have problems with my shoulders all the time so it's very important to get checked out.

When I was around 30 weeks pregnant with my first we were traveling with our friends to spend the day at the beach and I was sitting in the back seat of their car when we got rearended. It was the other drivers fault and my friends car did need repairs and the girl that hit us was at fault and it took about a month for everything to go through and the car to be fixed (it was still okay to drive). the other girls insurance company wanted to talk to me and my hubby too to make sure we were telling the same story.

Did you go to the hospital? If you did their insurance company is responsible got those medical bills as well as any since then to recheck you after the accident which could include a few ob visits if you were injured like say with whiplash and had to be off work for a week or two they are also responsible for any lost wages that incured from missing work if you were injured i would suggest you contact an attorney bcuz you could get paid for injuries that you sustained their insurance company keeps calling you bcuz they want this info from you its good that you haven't answered any questions yet without getting proper advice bcuz once you answer their questions you can't really change them like if you said you were fine but then later tell them you have doctor bills you want them to pay there's a chance they might not pay up hope it all works out for you good luck :)

Just make sure you hire an attorney and have them handle it! Go to the doctor andale sure to check yourself and baby, and see a chiropractor for your injuries since you will have side effects later on in life because of the impact. Be safe!!

Never admit fault ever! Also if you were rear ended you are not at fault.

Theyre calling to ask about the wreck. They'll ask you tons of questions its very important to give them exact details so they can decide who's at fault and whos insurance has to pay for any repairs.

Was their a state trooper called to the scene? He would have been the person to decide who's fault it was. I was in an accident when I was at a complete stop at a stop sign, dude lost control and hit the driver side of my car but was found at fault. Unfortunately he did not have insurance so the only way I could have got my truck fixed (it was totaled) was to go to court. But since they have insurance they'll need your insurance info to go about settling the claim.
