Was in an accident last night that was not my fault. My apologies to anyone traveling southbound at the time!

Things were kind of a whirlwind at the scene, and I was pretty shook up and dealing with the kids in the van so I have not been in the best state of mind since then. I have contacted both mine and their insurance companies and they are sending out someone on Monday.

I am wondering, is there anything else that is obvious that I should be doing? Obviously medical stuff is being dealt with, should we be keeping track of it any more than what is being done with the doctors? Is it reasonable to expect a rental vehicle until things are resolved with repairs etc? I don't have collision insurance, does that change much?

Anything else I am not thinking of?

On a related note: If you have a call center in a foreign country handling your calls related to automobile accidents, the idiots you hire should probably understand English enough so that when someone says "Fifth ", you shouldn't have to clarify that Fifth means 5.
