Couple of scenarios:

If this is a work truck, The business will have insurance and pay out the wazoo to keep it quiet.
If it is a guy on cell phone, and speeding, then it is negligence. thus upping the stakes.
If it is a teen showing off in daddys overpowered truck, the daddy will be covering for him and I will be getting my lawn work done for free the next few summers (just kidding)

Lawyer will only be brought in if the insurance company becomes d!cks. No way am I paying an ambulance chaser 33-40% of what I am going to possibly get out of this.

OK, but just beware that the chances of the Ins company being dicks is a good one. Also, you should get advice on making sure ALL costs, including compensation for pain and suffering are covered.

Oh, and on a positive note: The xray tech was a little hottie, the nurse was a hottie, and the 2 EMTs were both cute females as well. I at least 1 set of bewbies hanging over me at any given moment. :D:D:D Major BOOBAGE!!!!!!

Trust me, My dad will let me know if I will have to bring in the Rail Guns or not. If I do, I will sit back and watch the lawyer frag fest with some coke and popcorn.

Were you able to snap any pics while doing spins across the highway?





















I'm just kidding :) Good thing your cat-like ninja reflexes from playing CS:S saved your arse. Hope things turn out for the best for you.

No pics of spins, except when I close my eyes. Damn that wall came up awfully fast.

Damn...I half expect to see you in a Cops episode. Glad to hear that you're well enough to be chatting here so shortly after an accident like that.

Enjoy the weekend ;)

Well, I do have a high tolerance for pain, and it happend yesterday at 1:30. I was out of the ER by 7:30. XRAYs cleared my spine by 5:30, then waited on ortho for sling and script.

I know that I am very lucky.

That is a good Idea, see if you can get ahold of the cops that were behind you, and talk them into letting you have their dashboard cam videos (or copies of 'em) and then post online pls!!!!:thumbsup:

heh, with cops for witnesses and family insurance connections, you keeping the truck upright, not to mention not encountering the grill of a tractor trailer on your wild ride, I really don't know how an accident like that could have gone any better for a person :D

Hopefully no lingering neck or back problems creep up in the next few weeks. I lived there for a while and saw more than a few kamikaze lane changes, still amazes me that cops were there to witness it this time :thumbsup:

Somebody's feeling those painkillers ;)
