LETTER TO THE READER ⟩ The woman from Lihula who was hit by a car regrets her silence: I rode my bike home and didn't document the accident; now I will be in pain for the rest of my life...

A woman from Lihula reflects on her decision not to report a traffic accident that left her in chronic pain after being hit by a car while riding her bike.

Maire from Lihula shares her painful experience of a traffic accident that occurred a few years ago when she was struck by a car while cycling home. Initially, she dismissed the incident as a minor bump, but it was only later that her health issues began to manifest, leading her to deeply regret her inaction at the time. She expresses her hope that others can learn from her story and emphasizes the importance of documenting accidents, regardless of how minor they may seem at the time.

In recent discussions, Maire's situation has been echoed in a report featured on channel Kanal 2, shedding light on similar cases of individuals who have faced long-lasting consequences from seemingly minor accidents. The story of an 81-year-old woman named Elbe, also highlighted in the broadcast, serves to illustrate the broader community issue surrounding traffic accidents and the often-overlooked repercussions they have on individuals involved.

Maire's experiences raise awareness about the significance of taking accidents seriously and encourage others to confront their incidents decisively. Through sharing her narrative, she hopes to foster a culture of accountability and proper documentation in traffic matters, which could potentially prevent others from enduring long-term pain and suffering like she has experienced.
