Got clobbered by an Acura tonight. - Page 5

Thought I'd update the original story.
Had my deposition for the initial accident that started this thread a few weeks ago.
They got an experienced and aggressive atty for the defense.
Can't say any names.
Dude tried to make it seem like I was inaccurate and exaggerating.
A very unpleasant experience.
So... It looks like it will take years to settle this.
God I wish I could just go to court tomorrow and get my side of this heard

I was wondering how that was going. The defence atty will try to wear you down till you just give up and say screw it all. Looks like it may be a long road to justice but do hang in there if you feel there is a good chance of winning your case. You should definitely be compensated for suffering and potential later health problems if they should occur.

Letting time go by may be to your advantage. The longer it takes the better the chance of a health issue from the accident and the atty knows that. Any lasting side effect could potentially change you life and not for the better. The atty knows that too. He might just try to p*ss you off into signing for a small sum before the full extent of injuries are eventually known with the passage of time.

It is business as usual with the atty. Realize he is only doing his job for a pay check but don't ever feel bad if he looses. Be happy that you won, of course you would be very happy if none of this had transpired in the first place.

Be patient and hang in there. Hopefully, justice will be served. I will pray for a good outcome for you. If not, I know a guy who knows a guy (after all, this is Vegas).

At least you have the legal wheels slowly turning. Be patient and don't worry too much in the mean time.
