To accidents back to back one at fault one my fault what do I do?
Last week I was rear-ended by a distracted driver and a completely destroyed one of my rear end collision sensors on my vehicle, I filed a claim with their insurance and obviously it's going to take a while because it always does. However, my dog started having a seizure so I wrapped her in a blanket put her in the trunk of my car to take her to the emergency vet and I guess I became too reliant on technology because I didn't hear the rear end beep so I thought I was good but I slammed right into a tree. Since then I filed a claim with my own full coverage insurance and I have to pay my deductible which is unfortunate, but obviously I understand.
My question is what happens to that initial claim? I managed to hit the exact area she hit so will their insurance even bother trying to cover any of the damages? Like will my company seek reimbursement for some of the damage? My vehicle is severely damaged at the moment the bumper is barely hanging on I had to attach it after the initial accident, and after hitting a tree due to panic for my dog the bumper is hanging on by a thread. Just a curiosity question there's really no difference as long as my vehicle is fixed. Thank you.
