1. Sitting at red light, a drunk driver hit us hard directly square in rear bumper. Damage to his car=totaled. Our vehicle $600 and bumper's main support system absorbed impact. It crushed the shell and absorbance foam. Impact was estimated to be at 20-25 mph.
2. My daughter in back seat sustained neck, shoulder and lower back injuries. All soft tissue.
3. Hospital bill was $2000, chiropracter $12,000. MRI that came back normal in the shoulder area, showed limited findings. $1500.
4. Today, the aduster contacted our medical provider and said he would not pay any of the medical bills! His reason, "damages to our vehicle was only $600! He did not call us, he called our doctor! Is this unethical and intimidation tactics? When the accident first happened, he said his party was at fault and to seek any medical treatment we needed, now this? He waits until my daughter is almost done with treatment?
5. Talked to several experts, said despite damages, impact was significant. help
