Accident update

Well, I guess I should update you all on the progress of my accident. Some of you know about the new car. For those who don't know, or don't remember. I got $15,000.00 for my car, a '03 Toyota Corolla, and went thru AAA for my new car, and got a '07 Corolla, and it only cost me $17,000.00, so I only had to pay $2,000.00 more out of pocket, for a brand new car.



Also, I got a check from AAA, for a really good amount. They are still working with the hospital on the other part of my settlement. I was able to pay off ALL my medical bills, plus my Visa...so I am dept free, and have around $20,000.00 in the bank. All & all, I think I came out pretty good from this, and I feel I am getting what I deserve.....all without a lawyer...lol

Health wise, I'm doing better. Still have back pain, and stiffness at times in my shoulders & neck, and I get tired really fast, but I am getting better. Still not working, but hope to at least by the end of the year.

Just wanted to update you all, because...well....I love you all...lol

I learned how to drive in a Corolla. It was a 1971 though. Small payoff for the crash huh?

Thanx everyone.....well, it's all settled. AAA got the hospital bit sorted, and are sending me the balance of my settlement.

Long story short....all & all I got $100,000.00 plus a new car.....oh and my life.

thanx again for your words.
