What is the name of your state? Florida
Daughter and her husband and 4 children were hit head on in May 2005 right outside Disney World when they were on a 3 week holiday
The at fault driver had driven too fast around a bend in heavy rain and crossed the centre line smashing head on into my familys 8 seater Van rental from Hertz
At fault driver was given a careless driving citation which is merely a $113 fine ( 6 months in prison in the UK )
Thankfully the chldren are recovered and her husband is nearly recovered
However my daughter took the brunt of the accident which reactivated a pelvic problem she had during pregnancy and also triggered a serious spine condition which no one knew she even had
She was taken to hospital by ambulance and made to wait 5 hours before being seen while the at fault driver was treated for minor injuries first !!!
Result is she has been unable to work or care for her family , has lost the business she built up over 7 yrs ,has spent 3 weeks in intensive rehab to be partly mobile again and is on heavy painkillers inc morphine derivatives
Her $10K PIP from Hertz is exhausted and she has had to borrow $30K from us just to pay medical bills etc
At fault driver only had $50k per person BIL (100K per accident)
Hence USA lawyers will not take the case because they also know that Florida Insurance Cos are exceptionally difficult with anyone from overseas especially when they know your injuries mean you cant fly back for depositions
The Insurance Co have changed adjusters 3 times the latest one is a *******
They are even refusing to pay for an $8 International phone card for the phone call to my daughters travel insurers along with the $13 taxi fare from the hospital back to Hertz depot
They are also insisting that they are only considering a claim for "aggravation of pre existing condition" and that they see no reason why my daughter cant work since she merely sits at a desk !!!!!!
Daughter is unable to sit comfortably anywhere for more than a few minutes ,can barely walk and is in pain from head to toe
She has been told she now has a lifelong severe back problem and will never be able to do what she did before
May need spinal fusion although theres huge evidence that the pain could be just as bad even after an op
We need help desperately as the Insurance Co and Floridas ghastly No Fault Law means our daughter and family can starve for all they care
The at fault driver has a new car and sure as heck wont be worrying about Christmas and 4 children
