Seasider Posted October 17, 2013 Share Posted October 17, 2013 I'm wondering if perhaps she had some sort of surgical procedure today and is sleeping off the anesthesia now. Or at least getting the pain meds she needs for rest. Thinking of you, Joanne. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Twigs Posted October 17, 2013 Share Posted October 17, 2013 Either way isn't the driver the responsible one? Are you responding to creekland? If so, yes he is still responsible, but if he has no assets, there will be nothing there to meet that responsibility. … Also hoping they found the driver and that he has insurance.

clarkacademy Posted October 17, 2013 Share Posted October 17, 2013 Are you responding to creekland? If so, yes he is still responsible, but if he has no assets, there will be nothing there to meet that responsibility. But he will be the one to deal with all the bills right? It can't be her fault. My room mate hit a car when she had no insurance. It didn't matter, she had to cover all bills. That driver paid nothing and the reason I know this is he was actually someone we knew. I know that years later my room mate filed bankruptcy on all of it, but the hospital, car repair bills all of it went to her not the victim. He never paid up front or had anything to do with any of it all once the police report and all was filed. It just doesn't seem like she would have to worry about any of it since it was nothing to do with her and he ran. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ktgrok Posted October 17, 2013 Share Posted October 17, 2013 Yes, get a lawyer. Even if the other driver had no insurance you can sue him, and more importantly, the laywer can negotiate with YOUR car insurance. My dh was hit by a driver with no insurance. We ended up getting a lawyer, who negotiated with our own insurance company (car insurance) to get all medical bills covered, plus additional for lost work, pain, etc. It was about 5 times higher than what the insurance company initially wanted to offer us.

Scarlett Posted October 17, 2013 Share Posted October 17, 2013 That sounds all hunky dory, unless the hit and run driver did not have a license, or insurance, or any other money to be sued for! I think she rightly has a lot of worry, no matter what, unfortunately. As for another poster's question--I don't think she's in Harris county anymore. In the past, she looked in to virtually every option available for healthcare. This is just so unfair. I hope she can just focus on her physical recovery at the moment.

nmoira Posted October 17, 2013 Share Posted October 17, 2013 That sounds all hunky dory, unless the hit and run driver did not have a license, or insurance, or any other money to be sued for! I think she rightly has a lot of worry, no matter what, unfortunately. My eldest daughter was hit in a crosswalk last year. The driver was underinsured and without substantial assets. Fortunately, we had underinsured motorist coverage on our auto insurance policy which will cover the balance of the settlement (which will not be for another year or so as we're waiting until her growth plates seal to rule out the slight possibility any ongoing issues). But our insurance company doesn't deem it worth the expense to go after the driver's assets because their likelihood of recovering the money is small.

Liz CA Posted October 17, 2013 Share Posted October 17, 2013 Glad you can still write a post about this! Glad you had no passengers!
