I remember the last car accident I was in… we were all girls in the car and we were really shocked when it happened because our car wasn’t even moving because we were waiting to make a u-turn. A few days after that, my friend, who was also in the accident, already left for the US. When we talk on the phone, we are sometimes reminded of that terrible day and she would tell me stories about car accidents near her place. She even had a friend from Maryland who was involved in one and was injured badly. Good thing her friend found a good Baltimore car accident attorney who helped her with her case.

Here in the Philippines, I don’t think people really rely on their attorneys when they’re involved in a car accidents, unless of course it is a big one. I think the process here is to report it to the police and just hope the insurance company will pay for the damages. Sad but true. I think this is because those who are involved in vehicular accidents usually are those who can’t even afford to pay the damages. Like in our case, the driver of the van who bumped our car doesn’t even own the vehicle he was driving. He was just a hired driver and he was drunk at that time and the owner of the vehicle didn’t even care about what happened. Sad isn’t it?
