Just for Schlitz and giggles, i just sent an email to may lawyer. last week when we were coming out of the court room, my lawyer had told me, the insurance company wanted to know if I had wanted to settle, i not only said no, but i said, HELL NO....
I had just asked my lawyer (in this new email) if any figure was thrown out there.
so in the email, i threw one out to him.....(i will not disclose that here, but IT IS HEFTY indeed), as the lawyer by law, will get a 20% fee from that, from me, (the settlement).
it's a matter of do i stall and hope that i can get these other operations and hope for the best outcome, or take the money now and run.
of course, i'd want to have the operation(s) as i want to have a longer pain free life.
but then too, what "if" i am denied any more, (operations and such), then the insurance company can settle for far less, knowing that they got ME by the short hairs.....
see where/why I am going in this direction now...??
right now, everything is still pending.....MRI's (at least 2), @ $5,000 each..then xray's, more costly pain meds, more days in the hospital (after each operation, and this is a neurosurgeon specialist, not a general surgeon), more rehab (after each individual operation), more court time, more lawyer's fee's, more court fee's.....etc..etc....
the insurance company may fool me and actually pay for all the above costs just as easily too...........
then also, i have "on stand-by", another lawyer ready to get me on full disability.......
so, maybe the cards are in my hands right now, then again maybe not, it's a crap shoot.
it WAS STRANGE that the insurance company wanted to settle, usually they bleed you till you give up, then settle for far, far less.....
if they want to be done with me, i want them to pay.
wouldn't many of you say so as well.........????
