The experienced attorney I had at the time told me it would have to go before the legislature for approval. Anything else granted would just go in the insurance company's pocket because of the subrogation clause. It would have been costly to proceed because it would have been out of my pocket. 7k to start and upwards of 25 to 30K to conclusion. Basically beating a dead horse. My insurance company hired him on their behalf. I can assure you I didn't have the funds to fight at that point. The first 10k came from the auto insurance policy. That was gone on the first claim. Then everything else medically went to our health insurer. On top of that the bank repossessed the totaled van even though I had been paying on it. I had to battle them to restore my credit because they labeled it an involuntary repossession. The insurance company paid me the book value of the van and paid the storage fees which was about $600 less than what I owed on it plus I had made 3 or 4 payments of $350 while it sat in the junk yard. The perfect example of let no good deed go unpunished. On top of that I got a bill from the county for $1200 for the air medical evacuation and $150 from BellSouth for a telephone pole. All that was 30 years ago. Water over the damned. The tractor of the tractor/trailer that broadsided her was totaled. Our insurance company gave them 25k for the truck. The driver fortunately was not injured. Later I was able to get the ticket for failure to stop nullified due to the state's acknowledgment of their fault in the matter for having an obstructed stop sign. ... But that was yesterday .... Yesterday's gone. And good riddance. |
