Ridiculous! Just trying to appeal to the "I want money right now" side of us Americans.
When my sister got rear ended (by some idiot who was texting
and had an infant in the back), they made a similar offer to her and her husband for around $600 I think. As for medical problems being 'resolved', they both still have a variety of issues with their necks. Good thing they didn't sign it!
Interesting story related: last week, my mom and I were driving along, and we came across this terrible accident. Two large SUVs, both completely destroyed, clearly had been in a bad head on accident. Probably a total of 10 emergency vehicles around, etc. I didn't see the cars of anyone we knew, so I wasn't concerned. My mom decided to call my older sister though, just to make sure. As it turns out, she was actually one car behind the accident (but not in it, thankfully), and was talking to police at the time we drove by. Crazy coincidence!
Turns out is was some crazy teen, probably high/drunk/texting, that caused it. She was reported to have been driving, at high speed, on the sidewalk
of the oncoming lane right before the accident. Some peoples' kids! All 6 people involved in the accident were sent to the hospital I hear, but expected to be okay, thankfully.
The tangents I get off on!
Sorry life has been so crap filled lately, Yodaman Jer. On the bright side, I think we need to experience some crap sometimes to see the joy in life. I hope wonderful things are coming for you!
