Dec. 13, 2004 to Feb. 23, 2010

Fuck. How many days is that? Somewhere around 1896?

I was hit by a cab while walking across a street in Waikiki on Dec 13th, 2004.
I just heard from my "lawyer" this morning (Feb 23, 2010) that we can settle the case for x amount. Well, that "x" amount equals less than a few dollars per day for the past 1896 days.. and NOTHING for having to live with a bad knee and a strained neck for the rest of my life.

American justice is a pile of crap.

Think about it - two people walk across a marked crosswalk and are hit by a cab. One person does NOT have injuries that will stay with her for the rest of her life and her case settles for the maximum amount possible with the type of insurance policy carried by the cab driver. The other person - who HAS injuries for the rest of his life - will get less than half of that amount for his case - SAME "LAWYER", SAME CAB DRIVER, SAME ACCIDENT, SAME NIGHT, SAME INSURANCE COMPANY.

Same BULLSHIT is what I say.

Jesus this sucks.
