Shouldn’t you just have the police go after him? Wouldn’t this be a pretty easy hit and run case? I mean, you have his license plate number. Get the feds on this.

sorry to hear about your accident…glad to hear you got medication for the pain. I was in a head on collision in Sept, the guy turned in front of me & his insurance company (mercury) still refuses to take accountability….it’s a huge trauma to be in an accident and I can totally relate.

cold pads also help, my physical therapist started me out w/cold pads that helps loosen the muscles and he also had me on the T.E.N.S., not sure if you are seeing a physical therapist but I really think the cold pads, TENS, and some meditation helped me recover w/i months (i got off the meds w/i a few days).

not sure if you have filled this form out http://www.dmv.ca.gov/forms/sr/sr1.htm
I actually do a lawyer (whose also my friend) working on my case so he took care of a lot of the minor details, which also helped me to focus on recovering

All the best to your recovery and getting the jackass who hit you.

I’m sorry to hear about your accident. I don’t understand people who don’t stop to help. I always think one day that will be me and i hope someone helps me.

[...] Here are the graphics RJCP wanted to post with his “Hay=Bad Boy…” post the other morning. He sent them to me as his own computer was not enabled to upload these graphices. They are very relevant still and out line nicely how the same computer was used for different message. My apologies for not getting these up earlier but I’ve been kinda laid flat since an auto accident Tuesday. [...]

Oh man! I glad to hear that you’re not too hurt and I hope that they get the person who did that. There’s no call for that kind of nonsense. No call at all.

Good golly. Glad you are OK, sorry you’re in pain. I’ve witnessed two accidents that I didn’t stop for — one because I was very, very pregnant and the other because by the time I pulled around the block there were no less than six other witnesses stopped to help.

I say we all get together and stomp the asshole who hit you.

WTF? How do you rear end someone TWICE? Here’s a guy that needs to have a code red. This totally pisses me off. Get well, Fraz.

Will…The dude rear ended me twice moving me nearly a full car length from where I was before stopping. The cops came but I have no idea what happend as an ambo took me away. I’m on the mend thx to great drugs and working from home so I can just kick back and rest my back.

DM…I understand the sentiment. I can tell dealing with crappy pltf atty’s cappers who try to get a beneficial slant on a statement is a pain in the ass. I know insurance company atty’s don’t contact witnesses for statements by the time they show up litigation is in progress and all they do is issue subpoena’s for depos.

After getting one thank-you from a little old lady years ago I can tell you that made the difference.

That sucks.
But as someone who used to always stop to give a statement, I’ll tell you why I quit:
Freaking nagging lawyers. First phone tag to arrange a time to talk to them, and then in almost every occasion, the lawyers will ask for a statement, and after you give it, they try and get you to restate stuff so that it benefits their client.
I’ll always stop to see if someone is okay, but have stopped waiting around to give a statement unless its something truly egregious. Thank crappy insurance lawyers for that.

Sunofabitch! Glad you had a cam with you and that you emerged unscathed, or at least relatively so.

I’m not clear. Did he rear-end you? Did the driver flee after the shot you got or is he positing in some way that he was not at fault. Did you call the cops? Did they respond? Too many questions? I’ll shut up then and just hope you’re better quick.
