I'd find a reporter at a big paper in your area. Explain your story to the reporter and see what s/he thinks.

You should absolutely sue the hospital for negligence. Your concussion alone could have been something that could have developed into something serious (subdural hematoma anyone?).

Write everything down today right now in as much detail, get each page notorized. Because lawsuits take years and you'll be amazed at how much you forget. Especially dealing with the cops. Names, small details, etc.

If you have health insurance, figure out how it works. Get a box with folder dividers and keep copies of everything. Billing in hospitals is the most ****ing retarded thing ever. Every department will bill you, they can never keep track of anything. They fire out bills at everyone in hopes that someone pays. Plus medical insurance reimbursements that insurance is supposed to pay the hospital, always gets screwed up.

Complain about the emergency room doctors that initially treated you to the medical board.

Ohh, and run everything by your lawyer before you talk to anyone, especially your insurance agency.

I spent over $250k and over a month in the hospital, 6 months before I could walk again because some moron ran an intersection at 40 mph and hit me head on. While I was on a bike going 10 mph.

Ohh and one more thing. Do all your physical therapy. Seriously. It makes a huge difference. Also, ask about scar therapy if they dont' mention it.

my 1g DSM my car was found off a cliff, 55 feet down, 125 feet off the road.. according to the police report.. was at 2am. my car went off the road where there was no guard rail, and rolled taking out a 30 year old tree.

ended up spending 22 days in the hospital and had a 80,000 dollar hospital bill.

first 3 days were ICU, didnt know if i was going to make it. came out with serveral broke bones, including my sternum from the steering wheel. funny thing is my seat completely broke, and my seatbelt was still buckled when they found it. i was actually ejected from the car and the car ended up ontop of me in soft dirt, and they had to dig me out. 3rd degree burns from the antifreeze leaking on my legs.

i guess the reason im posting this is to say this stuff does happen, and people should enjoy life.









car ran 13.2 @ 99 before i got my TRE trans, evo 3 16G, walboro 255, safc II, and ported the crap out of my exhaust manifold and O2, which killed my previous boost creep. was my first and much loved car. RIP.
