Default Got rear ended today

All of about 2 hours ago. Back is killing my and the wife's back is having spasms.

Jeep was hit on the trailer hitch. I was stopped, the other car was going about 10mph pushed me about 2-3 feet. Now my Jeep doesn't sound or drive right .

If y'all are having back or neck issues go to the hospital. Take it from a medic. Better to make sure you're ok first then worry about the jeep.

Seriously , seek medical attention if you and your spouse are experiencing back issues this soon considering the two of you were in an auto collision .

There doesn't have to be much speed to cause some significant injuries when getting rear ended. Take care of yourselves. A hospital is not out of the question.

Also, resist the temptation to settle out any injury claims until you actually know how injured you may be.

X2 go get yourselves checked out. I got rear ended a few years ago in my old car. I was at a stop sign and got hit at 45mph in the rear. Car (tc) saved our lives. I was okay, but pissed and adrenaline flowing and wanted to kill the guy. My girlfriends back wad hurting her so we got her checked...just a pulled muscle

Take the advice of others... go ahead to the hospital or Urgent Care and get some x-rays. This is totally worthwhile if you have issues later on. Documenting your medical issues is KEY to a positive outcome with insurance (not to mention you should go simply because you are not feeling normal).

Trust me I know what I am talking about... I got rolled 3 times by an uninsured motorist (see link to pics in my signature).

We both are going to the docs tomorrow AM. I am .mil so its free for us. If we get worse tonight we will head to the ER, if the .mil wont cover the visit, her insurance will pick it up.

I would go to a chiropractor rather than a doctor for neck and back pain...
