Alessandra 5,542 Posted October 16, 2013 Report Share Posted October 16, 2013 Broken ribs, hips, possible knee and clavicle. Definite bruised lung. Tremendous pain. Possible surgery. Saw orthopedist, waiting on trauma dr. Can't breath or move w/o searing pain. Car totalled as his the truck that hit me on a side street going 80 mph. The passenger of the truck was injured. The driver ran - lterally - away. Don't know if he was caught yet. I have no car, no health insurance, no income while I am here. It took them 30 minutes to get me out of my car; the back seat was shared by 2 trees! I didn 't have any passengers. I am glad your head wasn't injured. It sounds as though you've still got a great brain and a sense of humor/perspective. But the bolded stinks, as does the surgery and everything else. I am so sorry!!!

SunnyDays 2,288 Posted October 16, 2013 Report Share Posted October 16, 2013 Oh, Joanne... my gosh, how awful. I'm so glad your kids weren't with you, but I'm so, so sorry you're in pain and dealing with this. I am sure they will find the guy, and I hope you take him for all he's worth!! In the meantime, do talk to the social worker to see what benefits you might be able to get, at least temporarily. I'm so sorry... please keep us posted on how you're doing. :grouphug: Quote Link to post Share on other sites
aprilleigh 178 Posted October 16, 2013 Report Share Posted October 16, 2013 Like a few others have already said, the driver was probably drunk and that's why he ran. They'll catch him, and the financial side of this is his responsibility. You don't worry about anything except getting better unless your lawyer or social worker tells you different.

Susan C. 840 Posted October 17, 2013 Report Share Posted October 17, 2013 Oh no! First things first, you getting better. So glad the kids weren't with you. The rest will work out. When you see the social worker, ask when you need to get the lawyer. You can sue for hospital expenses, ambulance, car, lost income and pain and suffering.And, ask for a rib belt, that should help with the pain. Without it, every breath hurts. The belt keeps ribs from moving when you breathe. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Orthodox6 5,511 Posted October 17, 2013 Report Share Posted October 17, 2013 She's in TX, which is notorious for not providing health insurance to those that need it the most. Joanne, I hope they can get your pain level down soon. I think she is near Houston. If she lives within Harris County, there is a program called the "Gold Card" program which is for low-income residents. Could someone convey this information to her? I feel silly because I should assume that she knows about this program; however, just in case she does not, it might be a financial life-saver for her. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
