Once again, it's time for the FNGT!

If you don't know how this works, click this link. That link will take you to another site to give you some additional information and tell you about some of our off-site features. That's also the site where we will host the weekly guitar threads, should Poal go down.

NOTE: That site is by invitation only. If you want an invite, and you're a regular participant, then just ask Crazy, or myself.

If you do know what's going on, you probably don't need to click that link - but you may want to, to make sure you know of the other features, such as the archive or a separate forum that's invite only.

Remember, we are guests here on Poal. Let's act like it. If you're interested in supporting Poal, then you can donate.

I may just start court proceedings - not taking their offer - and see what they offer as the hearing dates get closer and closer. I imagine they'll offer quite a bit more right about the time we finish picking a jury. (Civil trial, not criminal - of course.)

As you mentioned, I don't have any pressing reason to settle. I don't actually need their money. But, they're getting closer. They're starting to speak my language.

Oddly, this means I make more out of the deal than someone poorer than I would. Simply by having a modicum of wealth means I end up getting paid more. It's somehow magically worth more when I can't go skiing than it is if you couldn't go skiing.

That's not really fair, but, if a normal person working a normal paying job misses out on several months of pay they will be desperate for money

I suspect most of them that went through my ordeal and came out with the femur the way it is would be also filing for disability.

My physical is pretty comprehensive. I couldn't work if I wanted to. So, they'd likely be filing for disability.

Which, as you pointed out, means they'd likely be even more desperate for money. I could see someone settling for 50k or something like that. Man, some suckers would maybe even settle for less. Ugh... I am kinda disliking the whole process right about now. For a whole lot of people, 50k is considered a lot of money - especially if they'd been out of work for a few months.

A few months after the accident, I still couldn't walk more than a few steps. I was probably only using my chair on bad days and using crutches the rest of the time.

Yeah they would have to apply for disability. That 50 grand is not going to last very long. I remember when Opie's mother passed away, he inherited a little less than 50 grand, and he thought he was set for life LoL What an idiot!
