Update
Just a quick update on the wife. She's doing better.
Her back is still pretty sore and pinchy, but that was what we expected based on conversations with the ER doc. By tomorrow it should be getting better, if not we get her checked out more.
I'm now having the fun of playing "Find the Damaged Car". My mission is to find out what towing company has her car and then get it to a body shop.
USAA has been very helpful as far as insurances go.
Hopefully I won't have to get lawyered up. USAA is going to reimburse me for out of pocket expenses and deductibles (they're going to sue the bad guy driver) etc. The only thing not covered would be pain and suffering and missed work. Because she was at work at the time (driving on assignment) I'm curious if it's a worker's comp issue.
More to follow of course, and thanks for all of the well wishes.
Comments
Glad to hear she is doing better. Good question about the workmen's comp. I would check into that because "technically" she was hurt on the job through no fault of her own.
I'd still go get a lawyer's advice. In a situation like this it is worth the hour you pay him.
BTW, who was the dude in teh truck that started the acident? Some drunken redneck in a pickup is my bet.
