--- Quote ---If you were a Judge or on a Jury would you believe this from such a Specialist and in particular if I "tremor out" in court? Would you believe this to fit into" loss, pain and suffering" ?[
--- End quote ---

I would Izz.  I would.

Did I read right that some of your tremor episodes were triggered by certain sounds?  As you were being hit, there must have been countless sounds with that car hitting you and your chair.  So in essence, if it is sounds that trigger it, you may experience tremor episodes in the future if you hear a sound that you experienced as you were being hit.  Frightening.  You're amazing.

April?

Of 2013?

It's like watching incompetent asshats drag you down the sidewalk, quipping off what they feel they want to pay for without any regard for best care, while pieces of you drop off as they go.

Then there's this (years out) distant courtdate, with who in charge of your care?  The people who're likely hoping you won't survive long enough to attend the far far farrrr away courtdate? 

::smoothing skirt::

 I forget, did you say that you'll likely not receive anything for your pain and suffering?  Are these karma challenged bean counters, dickering over paying you monies that will barely pay for your care, dickering over care of the damage to your teeth, or are they dickering over paying you anything at all?  WHY do you have to go to court if they've set the amount they'll pay, and there's no chance of asking for more?

I understand the Judge can change the amount, but is it just for the care you need, or something more?

hi Hops

Yes everything is documented, and also in my mind. The specialist noted that my recollection was right on with the documents he studied.

Hi tt

Sounds, yes, but sounds that startled me...usually a temporary fright...but the last three startling experiences sent me into the whole tremor scene. I wondered then, to Karla, if this was 'psychological' . Upon researching, some people have them forever. The nighttime tremors could be from the many ' scary'  dreams I have been having since the accident.

Hi Lighter

Court is 7 months away. I waited 15 months to see the Specialist. At my age time goes faster. The Insurance company is not aware of the report from the Physical therapist, who designed my therapy sessions for Karla to assist me in implementing.... nor the report form the Physiatrist..... nor the yet to come report about the damage done to my teeth from the gnashing, during tremors.

After the Examination for Discovery, the Insurance lawyer dropped their 3rd offer by $18,000.00.....to scare me into accepting? No! These reports were in the making

There is "non-pecuniary damages" ("loss, pain and suffering") (the Cap here is $300,000.00)
.. then "Special Damages ( money from my pocket, as in paying Karla for 2 years +,  meds etc.)
.. then "Future Care" (will be Supplies and Therapy for my lifetime) I have independent therapists etc, saying I require lifetime therapy, or deteriorate.

I expect that the insurance lawyer is not in the postion to offer "Court monies' The big corporations try to get away with scare tactics, but a judge can overrule them and set his amounts that he sees fit maybe even the jury can..??  but the amount set by my lawyers was too high for a large corporation to just agree and not fight, and perhaps hope that I die first.

However, with people saying I look 50, not 73, it will likely shock, in Court, as it shocked the Insurance lawyer at the Examination.

In quitting smoking (Nov/10), getting plenty of sleep (at the expense of my socialization) and adjusting my diet to more healthy food (in particular no red meat) it will count about my " helping myself".

I research a lot, and one guy who gained a lot of weight, was penalized in his settlement for NOT taking care of himself, and try hard to heal.


Nevertheless, all is still unknown!...just like everything else in life.

Love
Izzy

P.S. Do I sound mentally disordered? I don't think so, but I officially have a mental disorder....that will go over well with my family, so I have to be quiet about some details.

Hopalong:
It's like this. The word "disorder" sounds threatening, but it's just a word.

It can be used to describe physical, psychological, or combo symptoms.

It's perfectly okay to have one, Izz. NO SHAME. Don't act like it's anything to be ashamed of, don't treat it like a secret. It's a matter-of-fact description just the way MS or asthma or depression or NPD or whatever...or sensory processing disorder or ventricular atrial fibrillation or whateveritis...

Don't add shame for a name (that you didn't cause) to the weight on your plate.

It's just a vocabulary word. Mature people know that and wouldn't use it as an excuse to be unkind. Ignorant people who'd bash you for something you can't help? They can go back to life-school....

love
Hops

That's what I thought Izz.  I was also thinking that with the brain being infinitely complex and considering that it records virtually every thing that goes on around it or in it, then each and every nano sound that happened as you were being hit has the potential to trigger the tremors.  It makes perfect sense that dreams/nightmares would have the same triggering effect if they mimic sounds that took place (even those sounds in the surrounding area that were not caused directly by being hit) when you were hit.  If I were a judge/jury, I would be very sensitive to that information and the effect it has on the quality of your life.
