    Are you for real?

    Crawl back under your stone and think about what you have posted.

    If you had bothered to read the OP you would see the difference between a money grabbing ambulance chaser and a tragic set of circumstances resulting in a cry for help from an innocent party.

    You should be ashamed of yourself, your comments are a disgrace.
    All matter is merely energy condensed to a slow vibration, we are all one consciousness experiencing itself subjectively, there is no such thing as death, life is only a dream, and we are the imagination of ourselves.

    Having been involved in a major RTA which has left me permanently disabled due to a third party who was drunk (3 times legal limit on wrong side of road and speeding), I have been in a similar position.

    Unfortunately the news is not good, in my case it took 9 years to get a court date and the insurance company offered their first settlement figure less than a week prior to the court date I accepted this offer because I was due to go into hospital for major neurosurgery which I was unlikely to survive according to the doctors (they were wrong fortunately) and I wanted my children to get something (Death is far cheaper for insurance companies than a permanently disabled persons claim or it was at that time).

    However like you I suffered major financial hardship and did lose everything as a result (House repossessed family break up, no longer able to do my job and health-a total of over 40 operations) the only advice I can offer is hang on in there since the settlement has not happened your prognosis which appears to have severely deteriorated can and will be taken into account but it will still be a long and difficult road.

    Sorry I cannot be the bearer of better news but just hang on in there things do eventually get better.

    Uncalled for - I think the OP was looking for advice, not comments
