I had a car accident today, I’m like 80% sure the other driver popped their vehicle in front of my vehicle causing the accident but because I was the one turning I will have to take the blame. My entire front of my vehicle (the bumper) came off while the other person only has scratches on their vehicle. I was OK with things until I got home and have to look into possibly getting a rental vehicle. It also puts a dent in my plans to travel next week since I was to drive there. I went to research vehicle rentals since I’ve never done it before and looking at the costs and possible issues I’ve just started crying. I keep replaying it in my mind wishing I had not gone that route today, at that time, or had done something different so that wouldn’t have happened. I feel traumatized and scared! Where do I go from here? My vehicle is now a mess and being held together by some screws and tape. Should I start online shopping instead of driving around to shop? I’m scared and just wish it never happened :(
