If you have insurance then your insurance carrier should pay for physical damage to the car. I hope that under such circumstances that you had notified your insurance carrier of  the accident.  Second, did your husband suffer any  physical and/or emotional injuries?  Were there any other expenses incurred? Even if your husband feels fine, it would be a good idea to have him checked out.  ... Read More
