DR. PHIL,
I WAS HIT BY AN 18 WHEELER SEPTEMBER 2004 AND HAVE NOT RECEIVED A CENT FROM THIS GUY. I HAVE 2 KIDS AND PAYING ALOT OF BILLS AND TAKING EXPENSIVE MEDICINE EVERY MONTH. I WORK PART TIME TEACHING PRESCHOOL AND TAKING CARE OF MY 6 AND 4 YEAR OLD. MY HUSBAND WORKS AS A HIGHWAY INSPECTOR BUT WE ARE TRYING OUR BEST TO NOT LET OUR KIDS SUFFER BECAUSE OF MY ACCIDENT. I HAVE MEMORY PROBLEMS AS WELL AS PAIN IN MY HIPS BECAUSE OF 3 CRACKS I RECEIVED IN MY PELVIC AND 1 IN MY BACK. I AM ONLY 34 AND WAS VERY ACTIVE BEFORE THIS GUY RAN A STOP LIGHT AND T BONED ME GOING 60 IN A 35 WHILE I WAS ALMOST AT A COMPLETE STOP TURNING ON THE HIGHWAY AT A INTERSECTION. I HAVE LAWYERS WORKING ON IT BUT IT SEEMS SO UNFAIR THAT I HAVE TO SUFFER BECAUSE OF SOMEONE ELSES MISTAKE. WE WERE LIVING A RATHER GOOD LIFE AND ABLE TO BUY WHAT WE WANTED, NOW WE ARE GETTING WHAT WE NEED AND DOING WITHOUT ALOT. CUTTING BACK IS VERY HARD WHEN YOU HAVE KIDS THAT WERE USED TO GOING TO THE MOVIES ONCE IN A WHILE OR DOING SOMETHING FUN. NOW IT IS DOING WHAT WE NEED AND THAT IS IT. PLEASE DON'T FORGET ABOUT THE PEOPLE THAT SUFFER FOR WHAT SOMEONE ELSE DID TO THEM. I KNOW THINGS WILL GET BETTER WHEN THE LAWYERS ARE DONE BUT WHAT HAPPENS IN THE MEAN TIME?
THANKS FOR LISTENING,
JENNIFER
