| No, unfortunately Donnie did not have insurance, fortunately we do have substantial evidence to show that the injury he has was indeed caused by the accident. All of the doctors I have mentioned before states as much, even the independant doctor from my fathers' insurance company. Donnies' two bulging discs are herniated and they cause him pain everyday, from 6-8 on the pain index. He gets shooting pains down both his legs, numbness in the inner and upper thigh area, calves and feet. He is constantly in pain unless he takes his pills on a regular basis. The surgeon says that he needs to take the bone out of his spine, put new bone in and then pin it in place. Sounds like fun. He then will be out of comission for at least 2-3 months, and wont even be aloud to lift his 9 month old daughter, who is 20 lbs., for 6 months. He already is not aloud to lift her or carry her around. The driver was at work at the time and I know that our lawyer has put in a lawsuit against the employer, should we do the same against the employee since he was the one high on cocaine and his negligence caused the accident? Thank you so much for your replies, you have all helped alot. Tracy & Donnie |
