Default got rearended

was taking sister to skoo (hs) and got hit by some chick in a protege. her excuse "my brakes suck".

no real exterior damage it seems other than a scratch in the paint about the size of my pinky. my sister says her neck hurts but that's the extent of it. prolly have the car looked at tho - impact wasn't a joke and afraid the absorbent material might be damaged.

I was rearended like this a couple of months ago - 1st time in my Accord, and 5th time in my life... most people just need proper driving lessons as they don't pay attention to their driving (cell phones, food/drink, thinking about work etc.)
I had the dealership look at and it turned out that the styrofoam material was compressed and the plastic bumper cover was cracked on the inside surface. The repair bill to his insurance was $850, while there was no apparent damage to the outside - not even a scratch to the paint. They replaced the bumper, the styrofoam, and painted.

Get it checked out.

Have your sister go to the doctor & get checked out. If her neck starts hurting worse over the next couple weeks, they'll just laugh if you didn't go get checked out RIGHT AWAY.
