Hi Izzy,
I'm not sure if I'm reading your post right but if I am (and you've reached a settlement) then I think good for you. I am waiting to hear about compensation for my son at the moment; if they make an offer - assuming it's not ridiculously low - then I'd take it rather than face years of battling through court processes.
I'm sorry there's no way to take away the pain and the physical problems. Living with constant pain is incredibly difficult and I think you've done amazingly to cope with that and the court case, along with the family stuff along the way. Life does seem unfair and unjust sometimes. I don't know why that is. I wish I did! But whatever happens now, I hope that life becomes as comfortable as it can be for you now. Lots of love xx

Oh, (((((((((((((Izz))))))))))))))).
Heartfelt wishes back, for some happiness, even in moments, that makes it all one day feel worth it.
I can so understand why you're feeling PSTD (post-settlement trauma disorder).
Except that I was a little confused too, since it sounded as though you already HAVE your settlement.
More white light pounding your way...also, did you mean you're NOT in court on the 15th?
love to you,
Hops

hi twoapenny,
It took about 6 days to move a bit out of my shock zone....though just baby steps. I still know nothing, and don't know what to do.
Reaching a settlement was the only way out of the tension and stress. Court would have done me in, after 4 years. I just cannot understand why the Insurance company took over 4 years to make a decent offer. I am almost in the same condition as when I was insulted with an offer of $75,000 (1/3rd for my lawyer = $25,000 and $50,000 for me.) I told my lawyer that it was an outright insult for the damage that had been done.
Thus passed by 4 years and 7 more offers, each getting higher.
We spent those years itemizing every expense, categorizing it, ....but I knew that no matter what settlement was reached I was still going to be in bad condition, for doing anything useful. ....and sure enough it hit me like a baseball bat to the skull, so I was obviously not prepared for the let-down.
The Insurance Company has not categorized, so I have no idea on amounts of 2 cheques, coming....then I sign a Waiver and it's over. No Court!.
This all for you too Hops, as yes. I agreed to settle, but now there is a mess of paperwork for the lawyer's office and the Insurance company to agree on which parts are refundable--- The Assistant telephoned me about an entry, and after that was explained, I asked if I were being refunded for all of my therapy expenses paid to Karla. she said, "No!'. I blew my stack---the first in 4 year-- she ran for her life to get my lawyer and he assured me "Yes!" while also stating that he is the only one in the Office who knows anything! That disillusions me!
I was given permission, back in 2010 to put groceries on delivery, 3 x only @ $9.50 . When the first time came it was $11.00, then the second and I sent the receipts for a refund. None came, (neither for about 5 others included). I explained to Julie and said I would send the agreement, which I found in about 15 minutes, and still haven’t heard back….agreed upon before I blasted forth--- poor wee underpaid thing!
Thank you two
Xx

Izz:
I'm sorry.... I don't understand what happened.
You settled.
Took a deal, but.....
what does it cover?
What did you get.... is it what you were asking for, or close?
You get Karla for the duration, right?
