I live in New York and was in a car accident yesterday, Wednesday July 30, 2008 around 8:40 A.M. There were two cars involved in the accident and I had the right of way (no stop sign what so ever) and the other car failed to stop on the stop sign. There was no way he even slowed down on the stop sign because he hit me right on the driver side. Fortunately, nobody was hurt and still consider myself lucky considering the impact of the accident caused my car to swerve 90 degrees, missed a private lawn by zero inches, and missed a parked Lexus car by three to four feet. I was driving an SUV and he was driving the minivan so he had a lower front and did not break any of my windows although the impact caused a serious damage on my doors and caused both my tires at the back to blow. I immediately dialed 911 after the whole incident. The ambulance quickly responded and the police were there minutes after the ambulance came. The EMT asked me if I was feeling okay. I said I was fine but an hour later started feeling some neck pains and headaches. There were a lot of witnesses volunteering to the cops to testify about what happened, but I believe they said it was not necessary. I will definitely find out within 4 days as soon as I get my police report. Since I was still in severe pain two hours later, my sister had volunteered to come home from work and take me to the emergency room. I spent the whole day in the ER trying to get examined and hopefully get some medical advice considering, the pain is probably caused by the whiplash of the accident.
Now here are my questions:
1. Will I be fully covered by the other vehicles insurance considering he failed to stop at the stop sign and I had the right of way?
2. If they do cover for the whole damage of my car, when can I expect to get my car back and can I choose my own mechanic to fix my vehicle?
3. Should I consider hiring an attorney for the worsening neck and back pain that Im having?
An immediate answer would really be helpful. Ive never been in a car accident and I have no idea of the insurance procedure.

First off I bought this 2000 1.9t s40 with 76k on it. I need to know if the engine is a interference engine? Also when should I change the belt? What else is changed with it? any thing I need to look out for with this car? I dont want to be stranded but I dont have much money to get things fixed. So I didnt plan on changing anything until it broke. Thanks!

QUESTION: Bob:
I bought a used 2002 Toyota Prius 1st generation fuel cell and was wondering if the fuel cell goes out…can I just run the car on gas without replacing the battery. I hate to put out thousands$ on a new battery at this point.

ANSWER: Are you sure you have a fuel cell in a Prius? If so, there will be a hydrogen filler as well as a gas cap A standard Prius will work well with some loss of battery performance, but very poorly once the battery is bad. You might want to seek out a specific Prius owner’s group to explore your options in detail.

QUESTION: Bob:
It may not be a fuel cell….but it has a battery. I just dont know if I should trade it in…or take a chance on battery going bad. It has electronic power steering and every once in a while it goes haywire and the steering wheel shakes. Its $2000 + for that if it goes out…then $3000 for battery….crap …it gets 40 mpg…but the cost of repair could kill that savings.
