Kurt, this is for you and everyone reading this. Anytime you are involved in an accident of any kind, GO....TO....THE....HOSPITAL....IN....AN....AMBULANCE....Period!!!!!!
You never know what injuries will show up later that you don't feel now. Sharon and I operated a courier service in the Greater Phoenix area for over 2 decades. Each of us drove....in town traffic....over 100 miles every day, so we had increased odds of being hit. I was hit 8 times over the period of 23 years, none of them my fault. But the important part is.....sometimes I didn't develop symptoms of pain or discomfort for 2 weeks or more.

If you tell everyone at the scene that you are unhurt and OK, all of that goes into the record. Then later, when you begin to have problems, you don't have a leg to stand on legally. If you're not a doctor, you have no idea if you're injured or not. Go to the hospital.

I still have a chip of bone from my 5th cervical vertebra floating around loose in my neck where a delivery truck smashed into the rear of my car in 1980. I felt nothing but a little soreness at the scene, but had plenty of problems later. I related on another thread about pinched nerves in my spine, I think that's how I got into the condition I'm in, by getting hit all those times.
