So sorry this happened to you ... but good news that Ollie's better and hopefully you are not seriously injured! Let your Mom "baby" you and don't make any decisions about the accident until you have time to think it through rationally. Been there .... rear ended years ago by a college student in little white tennis shorts!!! I would have just let it go and paid for the damage to my new car .... but .... he absolutely "wedged" his little TR sportscar under the rear of my car, slammed into me so hard it threw my little peek-a-poo under the dashboard [this was waaaay before safety things for dogs!] .... but the clincher was, he jumped out of his car yelling "no brakes, I knew I didn't have any brakes but I was just going a short distance to play tennis!!!" In the end, I made him pay [out of his pocket] for the expense of the accident and for his irresponsiblity in dropping his insurance to "cut corners"!! He lived with his parents & they were paying his expenses!! The moral to this long story .... don't let the guy get away with this .... get all the details and make him pay for his irresponsiblity!!
Again, I am so thankful that little Ollie is better ... just snuggle up with your babies, let Mom make you soup and get well quick!!!
