    AA> That's quite an account. Glad that you are ok.   
      
     Compared to the other drivers, I "walked away from the wreck". My   
   car wasn't so lucky.   
      
    AA> I'm surprised the medical work happened so quickly for you.  My   
    AA> mom was in an accident many years ago when a car rammed into the   
    AA> rear of the car she was driving. She was driving my car - one of   
    AA> the few that still had a proper "frame" construction.  The   
    AA> vehicle was deemed "totalled". The trunk was folded up like an   
    AA> accordian - so the impact must have been fairly significant.   
      
     I was notified by law enforcement shortly after getting texts from   
   these so called agencies and clinics. The guy involved with these is   
   a class A felon, and a level 4 sex offender. I canceled the appointment   
   they had setup for me (his clinics are guilty of insurance fraud)...and   
   blocked his numbers, as well as reporting this to law enforcement.   
      
     I may be able to get groceries delivered, but may have to change my   
   pharmacy. But, I have no way to get to my Post Office Box, and have to   
   take Uber to a clinic who works with Geico, the insurance company of   
   the driver who was charged in the wreck. The chiropractor warned that   
   sometimes injuries sustained in a wreck like this, take awhile to show   
   up.   
      
    AA> But she THOUGHT she was ok, and just came home - somehow. (I was   
    AA> in another provice and some nurse called me with the news).   
    AA> Later, she ended up taking physio for many months.  BUT she lost   
    AA> her work (for being unvailable to return within a certain time),   
    AA> and she lost special compensation. She fought for it, but it   
    AA> seemed that her lawyer was unsuccessful.   
      
     I contacted a local personal injury lawyer, and will likely go to   
   court to sue for damages and inconvenience. The NADA value of my car   
   was maybe $1500...and I'm sure it'll cost at least 80% of that...at   
   which point, the insurance company will total it. But, I think the   
   lawyer is one of the contingency ones...if they don't win the case,   
   they don't get paid. I know the insurance company is going to try to   
   get out of this with as little cost to them as possible.    
      
     The police report notes that the driver who hit me, was charged   
   with negligence, so it was "his fault". I just hope I don't get   
   counter-sued...but with him being at fault, I don't see how that's   
   possible.   
      
     Regrettably, I canceled a planned train trip this June "to get   
   away from things"...and have decided not to travel outside of the   
   Little Rock area again.
