When I went to the meachun site the expected price said $400 - $475 K
I didn't actually look. LOL I went through my "paperwork" (disorganized text files) and got the link for you.
I just got off the phone with my lawyer. It seems the insurance company is now speaking my language and they want to settle with more favorable terms. Alternatively, I can take them to court if I don't like their terms.
You knew they would come around eventually. It is helpful that you weren't desperate for money like most people in the situation would likely be
Yup... I don't actually need their money for anything. But, my injury has stopped me from doing all sorts of things that I enjoy. Hell, I can barely get in and out of my tractor - I have to be extra careful. I can't even jump down off the tailgate of my truck - I have to sit down and slide off carefully. I can't really ski or snowshoe, and even a snowmobile is rough and painful. I can't even run all that far - though I can kinda jog for quite a distance. Well, I could run or jog longer, it just hurts.
I'm not sure if I should discuss the terms. I don't think it matters.
Their current offer is 2.5 - minus medical expenses and legal fees of which I have none. They'll then continue to cover my medical expenses that pertain to my injuries. So, I'll make about 1.5 on the deal and they'll keep covering additional medical expenses.
That's not really what I wanted, but it's close enough. I don't want to pay any medical expenses, I want the 2.5 in cash on top of medical.
So, they're getting closer to what I want.
