Sorry to hear that. Not sure how the tort laws work down here, but if this happened in NY, NJ CN or MA, you pretty much hit the lottery.

No amount of money is worth a bad back, but it beats a bad back and no money.

Dude, this isn’t a “slip and fall” PI case that all the ambulance chasers that advertise on late night tv are tripping over each other for...

Again, in NJ there is a state run uninsured motorist pool that EVERYONE pays into. That’s separate from the under/non insured policy you can pay extra for.

If you required surgery, you are entitled to pain and suffering.

Unless you were performing brake checks? JK...

Budget: I think the wife freak out level for a used car would be around 40k.

B&W_Evader 07-17-2019 04:12 PM

Any more than that and I'll have to buy her another new car effectively doubling by cost level. LOL

Tell her you were psychologically traumatized by the accident, a new used sports car is the best way for you to regain your bearings, and surely your mental health is worth $50-60k...

Happy to read you are ok. I would stay with the 370Z or maybe have a look at a pre-owned C7 Grand Sport. Good luck.

Then you got the wrong shar... uh, lawyer. ;)

I was on a Jury where a dude was rear ended by a Dr. He went straight to a lawyer after the accident. Didnt see a Dr. for a few days after the accident. Then had tons of therapy with a chiro.
He claimed that he couldnt stand or sit for prolonged periods of time, couldnt play with his kids like he used to, etc. Was suing for 30k+.

He sat on his @ss the whole 3 days of the trial. Showed no discomfort. Needless to say, deliberation was quick, he lost. Awarded him less than 2k.

I’m talking about the people that are legitimalnly injured.

I have no use for the thieves that game the system with slip and falls and chiropractic claims.

Nobody fakes surgery on their neck, and should be compensated for it.

Glad to hear OP is ok. If you decide to get another Z, look into a VR swap; at least, that is what I would do if I wanted to stick with the Z.

Lvcky69 07-18-2019 08:17 PM

C7? save more money and get yourself a 911!

markesc 07-21-2019 11:07 AM

that new vette is sweet. I'd go for that or a used ZL-1 in a heartbeat.

B&W_Evader 07-22-2019 09:31 AM

Right now I'm leaning Corvette. 911s get a little pricey once you start looking at the good ones.

B&W_Evader 07-22-2019 09:32 AM

I need to find out if I fit in one.
