She was 7 mos pregnant and the engine come into the car and basically cut her foot off. The baby is fine (check avatar) they had to put my wifes foot back on. She has not been the same since. Maybe 10 years and she will have it amputated and she might end up in a wheel chair. My wife is 25. The rest of her life is going to be hard but God has helped us alot. The money helped with bills and such, but not with the nightmares. Not with the depression of her feeling like she is not a good wife and mother. She has come a long way and with God's help she will continue to improve. Not only has affected her, but it has affected our relationship of communication and such. We had a real strong marriage before and that is the only way we have made it this far. Even though you were rearended and might get some money out of it. It is never enough. Thank God it was not as serious as my wife's deal. But remember that the money will not touch the change in life that can occur from something like this.

Wow, I am very sorry to hear this. No, money isn't everything & I would much rather have "no accident" than money any day.

Praying for you & your wife.

PS, I was rear ended (hard) by a drunk driver 7 years ago & my back hasn't been the same since.

God is still good!

Yeah she is. She is the second strongest women I know. The first was my mother that died 3 months ago. But my wife is an amazing and strong women.

Brother, the simple fact of the matter is that if you do not have an attorney the insurance company is not going to take you seriously. They know you have to have an attorney in order to sue them and the law limits the amount of time you have to sue. Without an attorney, they can simply wait you out until it's too late for you to do anything. Also, with an attorney you are much more likely to end up with more money, even after paying the attorney his commission, than you would going it alone. Trust me. I had to learn this lesson the hard way. I waited almost two years before hiring an attorney and could have saved myself quite a bit of aggravation and gotten my daughter's case settled faster and for more money, had I had an attorney giving me the right advice from the start.

These insurance companies are devious and much smarter than you are. (nothing personal, just stating facts) Don't believe the hype you see in tv commercials or hear over the radio commercials. Insurance companies do not care about you. All they care about is MONEY. I highly recommend that you find yourself a good attorney, one that is experienced with your type of case. Depending on Jesus is great. I'm not knocking that one bit. Pray that He sends you a good attorney to represent you well. The insurance companies have attorneys working for them. So should you.

Physio or Pyscho? J/K!!!! LOL!!!

I used to think whiplash was just a scam until I was in a car totaled by a hit and run driver on the interstate about 15 years ago. My back and neck were a mess. My back got better in a few months but my neck took about a year.

AMEN! When someone came up with the saying "health is more important than wealth"
I now know they knew what they were talkin about, once you lose health, its a long long way back to regaining even a portion of it., and $$ may pay the bills, buy a few nice things, BUT I'd rather keep my health, thank you., Workers Comp paid me a pittance, even though I had an attorney I fired him after I saw he wasn't doing squat! I so wish I'd not hired him., I lost about $800 that could've been paid to me, but went to him, i was sooo mad., but the LORD makes up for some of the bad things that happen to us, now that same injury may help enhance my SSI/Disability case., for which I've got an attorney., its just a 'time' thing.

AN attorney is the best way all-around to protecting your rights, and informing you, of those rights., youd be surprised what you don't know, until you know it.

Irregardless with or without an attorney JESUS is still "in control".

PRAYING FOR YOU BRO.RON!
