I've been in an accident!

Darbji,

So sorry to hear about the accident, :( I really hope you feel better soon.

As E and Jimmy already said, don't sign anything just yet.

Some 20 years ago I was in a car accident caused by another person. I was hurt a little so I went to the hospital to get checked out, just in case.

Then, I fought hard to get them to pay up on my car. When we finally agreed on an amount, the adjuster offered to bring the check to my work. In a moment of stupidity, and needing the money to buy another car, I ended up getting the settlement check and signing for a $500 limit on medical.

Later I received some additional hospital bills that the $500 limit just covered. It was then I realized I had made a big mistake as any further medical problems could far exceed any money I had.

Settle on the car (per the others already excellent advice), don't settle on the medical.

If you can, get an attorney. Otherwise see us here on the board. I for one will help with what I can.

Most importantly, get well soon. We love you.

Al

I hope you're okay -- you can replace a car, even a Z, but we can't replace you. Listen to all the good advice that's been offered here and get well soon.

Oh God, Nitro!

Darbji I had this strong gut feeling that something was amiss last night, and sure enough when I check today I find out this has happened!

I hope you're okay lady, we have some serious catching up to do!

Thanks everyone for your concern. And yes, it was Nitro, my baby. She's been toatled and I will buy her back and slowly repair. As for me, I am in a metric ton of pain and the Soma they gave me hasn't done anything at all. I have a bunch of phyisical therapy and doctor's visits in my future. They offered me $3500 if they take her and $3000 if I keep her (and I most certianly will) The estimate came to almost $6000. They offered me a mere $400 for my "pain and suffering" I guess they don't realize that I do not sleep any more due to the tremendous pain I'm in. Oh well. I don't think it would have hurt any more if it were the Z. I love them like they were my children. All of them. And now I feel dead inside. Everyone tells me that she's just a car... but it still hurts like I've lost a loved one. I suppose time will heal my sorrow and the good thing is that I still have my life.

Please remind me that I still have my Kharma.
