Thanks for the encouraging words Rymfire. My injuries were minor; shoulder and back pain. My doctor says I most likely had these pains before (which I did), but were aggravated by the accident. When I mentioned getting an MRI and submitting it to the ins company, he suggested it was not a good idea because THEIR doctors could claim that the injuries were there before the accident especially with the work I do. (lots of lifting, physical work on concrete floors) and they may argue over the medical claims.
I'm not looking to retire off this ordeal. I mainly just want to get my life back to normal, get a new vehicle and the 2k on top of that is money in the bank.
Oh and the girl that hit me? I had my brother-in-law who is an officer where I live look her up. She's still in jail, unable to post bail. Her license is suspended for a year and her court date is coming up soon. So she's reaping what she's sown.![]()
