Default Update about my car accident...

This thing is still being dragg along, because the insurance of the person who rear-ended me wants to total my car, but I refuse to, because the shop that it is in is my cousin's shop, and we both know that his insurance does not want to spend any money on me. We know that if his insurance gives me the value of my car, which is probably $7000 to $8000, I would not get a decent used car unless I had good connections. But everything will be paid for by his insurance,

The damage will cost around $6000 to $7000, because the guy who hit me seriously fucked up the frame on the 1998 Honda Civic Sedan I drove. The damage that you could see was that my exhaust was bent at two separate angle, the rear bumper was only being held on by the screws on both ends, the frame was sticking through at trunk and the undercarriage showed that it was caved in. My rear angle is bent, my right side passenger door does not open and the left side passenger door was problems opening. I know there is more damage, but I need to talk to the mechanic about it.

That sucks... I had to run around just to get the $250 for my car. You might be able to get a nice 97-98 Accord for $8k.

I had a case of whiplash and the doctor immediately put me on Ibuprofen (800mg pills), Flexeril, and Vicodin.

As of now, I am visiting the chiropractor three times a week. It used to be every weekday.

We are; the lawyer said that this is an open-shut case because of the overwhelming amount of evidence that the person who hit me from behind was at fault.

Strangely enough, the day that I talked to my lawyer was the day I met his mistress; my sister's friend.
