What a screwed up week we've had. Yesterday topped it all.
My fiance was driving a bit behind me. I was at a stop sign turning right and there was a lady next to me turning left.
A truck comes barreling north on the street that we were waiting to turn on, makes a huge right, barely misses the lady next to me, drives up on the left hand side sidewalk and hits my fiance's PASSENGER side of the car. He takes off. I flipped a uturn around the lady next to me and gave chase, as did my fiance.
This asshole hits a stop sign, 2 street signs, drives over a front yard and then crosses the street and hits THREE cars in a driveway and pushes them into the garage. He drives a bit down the street where an off duty cop stops him. I don't know much about that story. I just know that there were about 10 cops there and it was crazy!
Anyway, my fiance just finished 4 nerve blocks for 2 broken vertebrae in his back. Now his back is killing him again.
So, my question is, what does he say to the drunk asshole's insurance company, which is Progressive? They are calling tomorrow. Does he not say a thing to the adjuster tomorrow and just get to the doctor? I've never been hurt in an accident before so I don't know how to handle it. It really sucks that my fiance was just feeling better again and was back to work.
