A friend of mine's step dad, a trucker, was coming back in from out of state. He had an accident, and got out to talk to the driver of the other vehicle, when another care came flying in and hit him! He lost a leg and had to spend weeks and weeks in the hospital. Really bad, right?
Well. Tonight I learned that they own a million dollars in hostpital bills and boarding fees. And the man can't work because he still isn't great with his prosthetic leg yet.... So their car was repossessed today. And the same is being threatened agasint their house, because the insurance company of the woman who hit the man with her car somehow 'weasled its way out of paying' them. Ridiculous.
So... Be thankful that kind of crap doesn't happen to you!
