Gee solman, so sorry that your ride got crunched by a moron, but sore wrist set aside for the moment...you're OK, and that's the most important thing.
Make sure to get copies of your medical exam reports for yourself and your insurance company, since the other driver was found to be at fault, and received a citation to that effect. He's liable not only for your wrecked vehicle, but your medical expenses and time lost from work.
At this point, his carrier should be contacting you tomorrow at the latest.
Do not agree to anything until you have discussed things with a representative from your insurance company, or an attorney representing you.

Sore, but the safety equipment did it's job properly.

To bad the air bag wasn't designed to slap the idiot driver of the othe car upside the head!!
Get a good lawyer if you haven't already!
Make sure you get to keep the wreck to part it out or sway some parts to your replacement HHR
Ever dream of a panel? There are some posted here!

Got the "preliminary" from my insurance yesterday. Totaled. They are going to run some numbers and get back with me in the next day or so. They have stated I can accept what their payout is going to be and then file with the other drivers insurance for my deductables, loses, etc. My lawyer stated that was not a bad idea as I have a good company. Or I can wait for the police report and file everything through them and get a comparision as to what mine was offering for just payout. I hope to have the police report soon, I've got to call them today and see when I can pick it up. By the time I called them yesterday it was after the person that handles it was gone for the day.
So I've been doing some light online shopping. My goal is no car payments for now. I've found what looks to be a very clean 07 CTS Lux that seems to be promising, under $8K and 93K miles. Private sale, need to get a car fax ran on it. But keeping options open for now.

Solman,
So very sorry for your loss. I know it's not a life, but when you've had your vehicle long enough, it's like family! You're okay too, and that, as Mike said, is the biggest part!
Keep your chin up, and definitely wait for the report, then file. Have all the facts!
Talking about Boydie's?
