Sheesh.
got another dreaded call today from the same boy. "Mom, I was in a car accident"
He's okay, has some back strain and his left shoulder is hurting some, but overall things are manageable. He was driving our 2001 Corolla and was rear-ended by a 2003 minivan. I'm calling it the Clash of the Junkers. Honestly can't see any damage to the Corolla, it already had some body damage as it's lived a colorful life. Boy thinks the van slipped under the rear of the car and raised it up some. Whatever happened broke the driver seat, it's now permanently reclined and won't sit back upright. So, he got whipped back and forth pretty good I'm thinking.
I'm not sure who he was talking to that put this in his head, or if it's just a severe case of BoyBrain, but he got it in his head that any insurance money on the Corolla will be his money.I have no idea why he thinks this. The Corolla is not his, he's not paying any insurance premiums yet, but he sure feels that's his money. We've made it clear on no uncertain terms that is NOT his money, now I have Sullen Teenage Boy. Well, could be Hospitalized Teenage Boy, so overall I can handle some silent treatment lol.
Beware that STB may have some lingering issues that you weren't anticipating: He may have a mild concussion, even though there was no loss of consciousness. The brain gets slammed around in an accident like that: he could have some head aches, perhaps some mood changes, some forgetfullness, decreased coordination. Also, neck and back issues can become problematic. I'm still paying for getting rear ended 33 years ago. My neck will never be the same again. I was much younger then, and the stiffness/pain went away, but left tell tale issues that plague me now, and probably always will. I have to be super vigilant with neck alignment.Sheesh.

Yep, that about sums it up. Not to mention that your insurance rate may go up.
Shop talk.
I am glad he is okay.
No accident is beneficial.
It's those stupid billboards that say,' So-and-so Shyster got me a 400,000 award!'
Yea. lawyer kept 600,000 and the 'winner' gets to limp through the rest of his life unable to work and in pain.
400,000 is five days in the hospital.
If there is insurance money tell him it goes to fixing the car, and if it isn't enough, then he will have to cough up the rest.
Reality bites.
