Car accident, that wasn't your fault? Did the other drivers insurance pay you directly or pay the body shop?

If you don't panic and slow gradually and move to the side, probably not very. Funny, my frequent date had exactly that happen 2 weeks ago. The problem becomes serious and expensive if you don't get over as fast as safely possible. If you lose the tire carcass, you are down on the rim, so you lose all traction and a lot of control on that corner. The resulting wheel damage and possibly more can get really spendy fast.

Rear ended on monday , head on collision today , what to do ??

well if it blew out u would notice it, so I am going to asume that it is a slow leak, a low profile tire, is not as bad as a normal tire, this is how much rubber is between the rim and the outside of the tire. A normal tire would have more rubber, this would cause a greater difference in size, this can cause problems to ur drivetrain. Either way is going to wreck ur rim. Then when the tire shreads this may cause damage to ur fenderwell. But, unless ur driving agressively it should not adversly affect ur driving, I have drove many miles on a flat at 60 miles an hour and never noticed. If u had to swerve suddenly the lack of traction at that wheel, could cause u to spin out of control. I hope this info has helped.

If you didn't notice it...then it's not to dangerous..but most accidents in my area are from speed and flats and overcorrecting.when a person gets a flat they tend to step on the brake, something they shouldn't do.just let your foot off the gass and concentrate on the steering..the car will slow to a stop...braking could lock up the car and send you careening into a wall or other vehicle.
