Auto Accidents

That would depend on how many vehicles are involved. If only two vehicles are involved, and they both stop after the crash, then there is one collision

That's not what is meant. There is ALWAYS more than one collision when a car crashes. There are THREE (3) collisions in every crash. The car itself hitting the other car; your body hitting the dash or other part of the car depending on where you're sitting; and finally the collision that is inside the body, your organs and bones hitting against the inside of your body.

they would be hurt physically, financially and legally!

Bad..... very bad!

They have to pay for your repairs themselves

Normally you will have a no claims premium discount of up to 60%. when you have an at fault accident you lose part of this discount for the next renewsl, it may go down to 40%. If you have a not at fault accident you shouldn't lose your discount. However each insurer handles this differently sometimes - pay to check with you insurer

It acts the same as a "roll bar" in a racing car protects a driver. It creates a "cage" around the person to protect the vital organs from trauma in accidents.

I'm pretty sure the first car that hits and starts the accident pays.

Apparently, it is 30 days if you are a professional Football player

Apparently, I need it for a regular person (^^^)

You have to do a civilian accident report. you can get one at any precinct and you mail it to the DMV.

around 3000 people die each year in a car crash

This is a strange question. I am not sure why any driver would leave the scene if it was clear that another person was at fault. Your question stated 'if the driver you hit', not the driver who hit you. The only reason I can imagine this would happen is if the other not-at-fault person did not want an encounter with the police department or to have any type of claim activity, even with YOUR carrier.

Are you sure you meant if the driver YOU hit left the scene?

I believe you probably did mean 'who will pay for the damages to your car if the driver that hit YOU left the scene." Is that what you meant? The other party may well be at fault, but if you do not have his insurance information or were not able to write down year, make, model and license plate number, you cannot find his insurance carrier and file a claim with them.

You can, however, invoke your own UM coverage, if you carry it on your policy. UM is Uninsured Motorist coverage and will 'step in' and provide the same coverage the at fault driver's carrier would have provided, if he had an in-force insurance policy. Also, if you have Collision Coverage, you can also use that. You will have to pay your deductible, and your insurance carrier will attempt to recover both their paid costs and your deductible, if the driver becomes known. If you have and use UMPD coverage, you will also have LOU/Loss of Use available to you. This provides for alternate transportation while your vehicle is non driveable. If you do not have UMPD, but do have Rental Reimbursement, it will be available to you, to provide alternate transportation. Should you use RR, you have a limited number of days available to you and a limited dollar amout; however, if circumstances allow LOU under UMPD coverage, you will be able to have the rental or other alternate transportation until your vehicle is repaired and fully functional.

This is a very vague question. You should talk to your agent. If you go through Geico or Progressive, cancel your policy immidiately and get a live, local, licensed independent insurance agent. These are the only people who can be there to help when you have problems.

Water can stand in any low spot. As long as there is even a small area that is lower than the surroundings water can stand.

The Dany Heatley accident happened in Buckhead off Lenox Rd where the speed limit is 35 mph.

It's almost impossible to say exactly what to expect. It all depends on the minor details of the accident, such as the point of impact, the vehicles involved, etc. However, you can certainly expect a large amount of damage, and one or both of the vehicles will likely be totaled.

Assuming you are in the car that stopped at the light and you hit the car that was passing, It is obvious the car passing illegally on the right gets the ticket and the blame and had better have insurance.

about 40,000 in a year

An average car will go 0-60 in about 8.4 seconds

No. There is no statute of limitations in any state that would permit you to sue someone 9 years after the accident. There is a policy rationale for this based on the fact that all of the witnesses and evidence will be difficult or impossible to find after such an extensive period of time. Most state statutes of limitation are 2-4 years for auto accidents.
