my attorney called my yesterday morning, then had a confrence call with my parents on the line. in feb of 03 i was hit by an 18 wheeler that changed lanes over me. my driver's side back seat was ran over and i was pushed over a curb and into a poll. i ended up with a torn MCL, i went to the hospital got a MRI, did 8 weeks of PT. it didnt heal right so i had it scoped and then another 6 weeks of PT. i made a full recovery, which was important to me because i am a D-1 swimmer. the total lawsuit was $58,876 and my bottom line after paying back the insurance, court fees, and my attorney's cut is $25,300. It took under 2 years. its like im still in shock the money doesnt seem real to me. the accident happended so long ago i dont really remember it. i got some bills to pay off and im gonna save most of it, gave my parents enough money to take a weeks vaca somewhere and help my older brother move out. then im gonna trade in my bike.

Re: i settled my lawsuit yesterday
Well, its nice that you did something for the parents and brother. Sounds like you should have received a much larger settlement than that for all your pain and suffering. Usually in contingent case laywer gets 1/3 of settlement including paperwork and court costs, and this should be discussed before retaining. I have known ppl that have received much, much more for alot less injury. Anyway, try to save some or invest in something where you can make more, lol.
