Hit by a drunk driver.

Thank you for all of the kind words and help offerings. We will see what the Doc has to say in the morning. I hope all of this turns out well.

I was rear ended by a drunk driver that was actually stopped behind me, and let off the brakes, and hit me at about 5mph. Slow enough there was no damage at all to the car, but about 3 days later I'm begging my doctor for skelaxin to make the back spasms go away.

This is just stupid. Insurance fraud is the main reason why insurance rates are higher than they need to be.

Oh come on Stuart, lighten up! I was kidding for Christ's sake. But the man DOES need to talk to a good lawyer, injured or not. Even if the other driver is (hopefully) fully insured, it might take some squeezing to get a fair settlement.

A lawyer won't really help you get more money. Lawyers get more money from the insurance company to pay themselves. If you are having a problem getting fair treatment from an insurance company, either threaten, or actually make a complaint to the DOI (Department of Insurance). Nothing will get an insurance company's attention and reaction faster, not even a lawyer.

When Gloria's sister and mother got t-boned by a drunk driver who ran a red light. Every single lawyer her sister called refused to take them on because the guy didn't have insurance, so there were no deep pockets to go after. They eventually found a lawyer, but they are still just as much shit out of luck as they were before.

Is this light enough for you?

glad you are okay and hopefully you get a nicer car out of the deal and no problems with back/next etc.
