wow im glad youre okay! did you both have insurance?

remember....seatbelts save lives

Wow. Thats terrible.
It sounds like you got banged up but good to hear it wasn't any worse..

This is when you start to appreciate the fact that Volvo has stuck with fully welded steel cab frames when other manufacturers went over to bonded aluminum...

Was he a company driver?



Yes, depending on the state. In Chad'* case, hell, no. He had his blinker on, which means the other driver is in deep sh*t.
Chad, don't screw around. If his insurance comes back with anything less than total replacement and full medical coverage, sue the sh*t out of them.

That was my next question. I have no idea what to do lawsuit wise. If the company is reasonable and willing to pay, I see no need to sue for more. However, my back'* pretty jacked up, and I don't want to risk later problems that I'll have to pay outta my pocket.

Yeah, I think he was a company driver.

Kinda funny you say that, I said the exact same thing about the clash of the titans right afterwards.

Do NOT settle. If you settle, that'* it. No more money if you have later medical problems related to your injuries...the thing to do, RIGHT NOW, is talk to a lawyer. Make certain he understands that you won't settle for anything less than total cost, complete medical, and lost time/productivity.

Don't let his username fool you. His name is Shadd.

I knew that...my bad...

wtf.... thats all I gotta say...dont those trucks have like multiple blinker lights in the back?

You're assuming he used his blinkers.......like we assume he should have had a seat belt on.

Shadd lives in country where the biggest truck rules the road and is exempt from the rules
