That's true, but it's good that Hamid isn't jus being selfish about it... Yes, I know he wants and WELL DESERVES compensation, but that doesn't mean ruining the other kid's life over it. I was in a boat accident July 2, 2001; a friend of mine hit us. I was in my Dad's boat, so he got the settlement $$ but I got $500 for doctors bills and pain & suffuring... that's pretty fair, I think.

1. If you got hit in the rear while you were stopped.
2. All other accidents.
... and my insurance is Allstate.

I was in an accident like that... and yea at first my back was just sore... and i figured it would go away but still even now... I get these really sharp pains and muscle spasms from my back that are excruciating... I mean yea I'm still alive and for the most part i can do what i need to do but having to live with excruciating pain because of some dumbass driver... i should recieve all the compensation i can get... its not his money its the insurance company's... and hey we all pay them more than enough!!

Sorry to hear of the death of your SC3....but it gave it's life to save yours. Glad your alive & walking & talking. Go see the Dr. ASAP!! You never know what kind of complications you may have later. I understand that you have no desire to soak the kid, and thats good. Just don't sell yourself short...make sure you get what is right and fair. (medical bills, lost wages, actual damages) Good luck with whatever route you choose to go.

saw a doctor, he says he will have to wait and see what happens, he gave me pain medication and some anti-inflamitory, and said come back in 10-14 days for xrays if i still have problems, he also said to get a lawyer to take care of this matter in its entirety....

That sucks about you car but as for you back ,once you injure it, it doesn't get any better. All fixes for the back including surgery are only temporay. I work in the orthopedic industry and see patients daily with back injury's. You should get a lawyer and sue for the max and put the money away for future medical expenses. Average cost of back surgery(one level fusion) 30K. That doesnt include hospital and medical equipment. I dont mean to sound negative but dont sell yourself short. Wish you a speedy recovery.

Suing someone is not the end all to their life. That's the reason they have insurance. As long as your medical bills and pain and suffering do not come out to more than their maximum coverage, they won't pay a dime except the deductible and insurance increase because of the accident.
I would gladly give back all the money I got from my accident last year to have my body back. Since I can't, might as well try to enjoy as much a possible. Don't sign anything from his insurance company until you have someone go over who has an understanding of the law. Even though you are trying to take the high road, they'll still try and screw you. Don't give up any of your rights to sue in the future. You never know.

back pain is no joke, and i will have it for the remainder of my days on this earth. I was in a wreck and come to find out two disks shifted, and i was in pain which slowly grew from not so bad to worse. surgery was no joke either. almost died from complications to the oxycontin and morphene. Just because you don't hurt now, who cares, get it checked out. I wasn't being greedy, but i tell you, when you tell someone to slow down 3 times, and they don't listen...its not your fault when you crack your head open and have to get stitches on your forehead, plus live with a messed up back

In another thread, on" what you don't like about your SC," sombody complained about the location of the gas tank - you are living, walking proof that the tank is in *exactly* the right place. Hit from behind at that speed, in a less well-designed car, and you might have been one toasted puppy - - the whole ordeal is horrible to go through, but thanks to your car for saving your butt - -

i think the gas tank issue was not important in this accident because i was hit by a new dakota, it is higher from the ground then lets say another sc300, had it been a lower car, situation could have been different, who knows....
