Op, I really think you need to take a deep breath and do that thing about reactions. You can only control your reaction, not others.
You have openly said you made a mistake.
you have checked and nobody was injured at the time.
no ambulance was called.
no charges were brought for careless or dangerous or drunk driving.
you have had a NORMAL human reaction for a decent human being.
it was only a week ago.
the cynic in me would say,
if someone really was injured, other than sore, it’s very early days for am injury claim.
Yes, whiplash can appear, and blah blah. But it’ a week.
so, be a little kinder to yourself. Remember that being so honest with strangers can result in some circumstances in them taking advantage of you.
and let the insurance sort it out. You have done your bit.
My elderly dad was hit by a drunk driver two years ago. He never recovered or drove again. The standard question as I called insurance to have his sway shed car removed was is he injured. He spent weeks in hospital. His nerves were shattered along with bones. The insurance fought it out and there was no injury loss. Dad recovered, to an extent, he doesn’t work, the injuries were temporary.
and that was an immediate obvious injury.
so be careful people don’t take advantage of your upset 😢
