What is the name of your state? Texas My husband was hit by a man pulling a cattle trailer 100 miles from our home. Trailer driver was ticketed. He has min. limits. The Dr. that did the 8 hour emergency surgery said he would not walk for a min. of a year. Has very serious injuries. Left hip, femur, knee, ankle all broken. Flew him back to houston by life flight 2 days after surgery. Next doctor removed screws holding rod stable in femur to "close the gap in the break", said the amount of weight put on the leg would be touch-down. Therapy came in, said get up and put 20 pounds of weight on the leg, even brought a scale. He got up balanced with a walker and tried to apply a little pressure. He had a lightening bolt of pain in his leg, turned white as a sheet, and told the girl he could not do it and he had to get back in bed. She then asked, "what are your injuries? Rod was driven into knee 1/2". Got 2nd opinion,next Dr. put screws right back in.Will probably have to have hip replacement and bone grafts on femur in near furure. Hip was not set correctly.We have 4 individual auto policies, can we claim our um/uim on all. With all of these screw up we are now looking at maybe 2 years.
