I was thankful that someone else handled all of the details.
On my way to my house from work on Tuesday, I got in a traffic accident. The accident wasn’t my fault at all, but that doesn’t change the fact that I am hurt. I was waiting in traffic on the freeway and the woman behind myself and Max did not realize that traffic was stopped. The girl was driving a very large Heating, Ventilation, and A/C maintenance truck. As soon as the accident happened, I jumped out of the car. I almost passed out due to the pain in my lower back. I did not realize there was so much pain until I stepped out of the car. The driver of the Heating, Ventilation, and A/C maintenance truck called for help as soon as she realized that I was hurt. The state police arrived about an hour later and they assisted with all of the paperwork. Since the other driver was in a work van, they needed all of the commercial insurance information for the Heating, Ventilation, and A/C contractor. The whole event was completely overwhelming to me. I was thankful that someone else handled all of the details. While I was at the hospital, I gained a dozen peculiar PC calls and a few room visits from lawyers and a lawyer referral service. It seems clear that I have a solid case against the driver and the maintenance contractor, but I am not sure that I absolutely want to pursue any legal avenues. After all, it was just an accident and the Heating, Ventilation, and A/C contractor already agreed to pay for all of my medical bills and my time off from work. I don’t want to ruin a career or business over a little fender bender.
