[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 570154, member: 1233"] Star, I am so very sorry that you and DF were in the accident and were hurt. the paralysis thing is a BIG deal and needs to be thoroughly checked out in every possible way. You and DF are going to NEED an attorney. Don't just pick one out of the phone book, talk to several and ask some of the cops which attorneys they would use, which they respect and recommend. They often know which are sharks and which are shysters. One BIG reason the kid has an attorney stems from his comment that an accident would 'ruin' him. It sounds like he either has a history of accidents that were his fault, or DUI or some other reason that makes this a bigger than normal deal. I would suspect it isn't his first accident and that he may have drug/alcohol issues and this could prove to be more than just an accident for him. Do NOT sign anything until you are sure your atty has checked to make sure he doesn't have a history of doing this or other reckless driving. Do NOT hesitate to go back to the doctor for something other than naproxen. I hate the stuff because it makes me break out and it also makes me very, very dizzy. There are a ton of other nsaids they can rx, and you can also try tramodol or other pain medications. Flexeril? problem is making you grumpy because it makes you tired but interferes with sleep. It does absolutely nothing for me and never did, but I know a lot of people who are grumpy on it because they are exhausted but they cannot sleep for more than a couple of hours with-o waking up. It is why my pain doctor doesn't usually rx it. Please be extra careful with this. It is possible for damage to not show up for weeks or even months after an accident. Witz is right about the seats coming unbolted meaning the van is totalled. Insist on replacement and NOT just compensation for the cost of the van. Esp since you must fit a wheelchair and a walker in it. Don't forget to ask for lidoderm patches to help with pain. It could be very useful. (((((hugs))))) [/QUOTE]
