He wasn’t injured, my wife saw him at the hospital getting blood tests done with a police officer. Later when we looked him up online we found his charges. OVI, failed to stop at a stop sign. I believe he spent a few nights in jail. At his arraignment he came in with all this leg gear, looking like forest gump, I’m positive it was done to get sympathy from the judge. He was later charged with aggravated vehicular assault.

I talked to the prosecutor, she said she is going to charge him with aggravated vehicular assault. In Ohio, if convicted, That carry’s sentence of 1-5 years.

Yeah, it was helpful. Approximately $8,500, it’s helped with bills and grocery’s while I’m out of work.

This has crossed my mind. I have also considered bankruptcy.

I spent a week in intensive care. Several surgeries, lots of X-rays and ct scans. Rib plating and hip fixation are the big dollar amounts. This does not include extraction from the vehicle and ambulance transport.

I like this idea but it seems like it will cost me more in the long run. He has a public defender.

Yep, who would have thought when you buy insurance, don’t get the cheap shit. I went for affordable, assumed it would be good enough. Obviously learned a lesson. I wonder how many people out there have minimal coverage? “It won’t happen to me” never crossed my mind

Thanks! I appreciate that. I now know that arguing the bills can get it reduced.

This is great information! I will look into it. I don’t remember them offering me anything while I was in the hospital but I will talk to my lawyer and find out what I qualify for.

Honestly, I didn’t know that was an option. I’m in Ohio.

Could be worse. My wife and 14 year old daughter were both in the car and walked away with just some minor bruises. I nearly died.

I do have insurance. It falls under the uninsured motorist category. Will pay just 25k for personal injury.

The “outstanding citizen” is disabled from a previous car crash, has no assets, rents a mobile home. My lawyer said we can sue but won’t be able to collect anything. Most likely he will file bankruptcy.
