I was at work and they sent me to go get a battery from the other PepBoys. got sideswiped by a small truck, I'm not even really sure what happened it just sounded like the mirror got hit pretty hard so I looked over and it was folded in pretty far so I figured that was all that happened and kept going. I got to where I was going and when I was bringing the battery back to the car I see this...







I know its hard to see cause the car is really really dirty but the mirror is fine and the damage is much worse than I thought it was and now I have no info or anything on the truck.

thing is, I was on the clock when it happened and we aren't supposed to be driving our own car for work related things anyway. I spoke to my manager and he said tomorrow he'd make some calls and take care of me, which I'm hoping means they're paying to repair my car and get me a rental while its being worked on.

no worries just yet. we'll see what they say tomorrow.

so yesterday I talked to my manager. he said he called up HR and they told him there wasn't anything they could do, he thought that didn't sound right so he called someone else and left a message and is waiting for them to call him back.

he didn't want it to go too long before I reported it to my insurance just in case I need to go through them so I reported it yesterday and told them to hold off on arranging to have it repaired so I can see if my job will pay for it. at the very least my manager said they'd pay for the deductible and the rental car.

I know my work would have to pay for it if I sued and everything but I really don't want to turn this into a massive legal issue, I just want the car fixed
