VX collision closure!

[WormGod]

Finally!

I had my ADR hearing Friday to try to resolve the insurance claim before a jury would hear the case.

For those that dont know or dont remember, THIS is what happened many years ago. The driver at fault was DOA, had state issued insurance (high risk driver), and was in the US on bad paperwork. So, that complicated things a lot and dragged this whole thing on for 4 years.

Anyways, Friday, I saw closure. Nothing to bring back my proper leg use and allow me to play sports again, but at least the monkey is off of my back. After 4 hours of pushing and shoving with words and paper, I settled on $85k and called it quits. I had a $100k max on the policy and considering court would cost roughly $10k and lost wages from court would run another few K, I would risk losing more in court. It was a no win situation really, but then again, it's blood money and blood money is never a winning situation.

So, now the old Dragon Green from the accident can rest in peace knowing she saved my arse and that the whole legal situation is over.

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!RIP !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

my soft standing still roll over cost $17,000 in damage to repair and it was bad.
I also, know how you feel settling over blood money. You want all you can get, but it doesn't make things ever right again or the same. There is always that part of you that is numb for the rest of your life.

Wow WG. Is there a thread that describes the sequence of events that led to that pile of mangled steel?

It looks like it was horrible.

Maugan, click on "THIS" in Wormgod's original post for more story.


WormGod, you are luckily (i'm sure you have heard that before). In all the pics I have seen of a wrecked up VX I think yours is the only one I have seen with the airbag deployed. Of course, your wreck looks worse than most those other ones too!

Doh

Holy mother of all things sacred GT, you are one fortunate cat. The angels had a hand in your survival, I know you thanked the all mighty.

Glad to hear the courts gave you a little something to help get over a lifetime of pain. Here's to therapy $85k buys a lot of beer
