stepee Posted September 2, 2023 Share Posted September 2, 2023 Like, do they want to jump in and get money for themselves or what? Everyone asks me this first thing. It’s happened here a few times. Irl it’s often the first question if someone knows what happened to me. I guess what I’m trying to say is, it’s not worth it, please don’t put yourself in danger. Nothing in the world is worth the initial pain, and not even really worth the persistent pain either. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CastlevaniaNut18 Posted September 2, 2023 Share Posted September 2, 2023 I'd never ask that. But I also see human suffering on a daily basis and it's not something I'd ever choose to experience, even for a nice payday. I wouldn't want to live with pain the rest of my life. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

best3444 Posted September 2, 2023 Share Posted September 2, 2023 I never once thought that about your situation. You are extremely tough not only physically but mentally as well. You're one of the nicest people I know (yes, we are in internet land) and you are an extremely positive individual. That right there is what amazes me about your situation. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheLeon Posted September 2, 2023 Share Posted September 2, 2023 I’m sure I made a joke or two about it at some point, because that’s all I know how to do. But yeah, it’s obviously not something I would want to happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Biggie Posted September 2, 2023 Share Posted September 2, 2023 I wouldn’t mind getting into an automobile accident that wasn’t my fault and not having life endangering injuries. Just enough to sue the other drivers insurance company and get a big fat settlement. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Posted September 2, 2023 Share Posted September 2, 2023 Until you find out the person who hit you is uninsured. If you gonna do it, better make it a public worker who hits you. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted September 2, 2023 Share Posted September 2, 2023 Sorry fam if I added to your angst here, definitely not intended ❤️ Growing up with my Dad having chronic back pain from a rear-end collision, not a dollar amount that would satisfy living with such pain and discomfort.

I almost wanted to add a note that this was not aimed at you! I totally get that, and definitely appreciate bad back pain oyyy. I’m fine with it from you, it’s random people that don’t know me that makes me raise an eyebrow. I know you are actually just curious, other people are different.

Bacon Posted September 2, 2023 Share Posted September 2, 2023 I would not think it was worth it and I don't think most people would like to go thru it. I mean, I bet there are some people where it would improve their life because it's already pretty bad, but for most people, I think they would come to regret the choice and think themselves foolish for making that decision.

Fizzzzle Posted September 2, 2023 Share Posted September 2, 2023 I had pain for the first few months of this year that was probably a lot less than you deal with day to day and it suuuuucked. I wouldn't wish it on anyone, even if you do get paid. I couldn't even sleep or took enough non-narcotic pain killers that I was constantly throwing up. Not worth the money. And I hope the pain gets better, even if it will never go away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You know when your foot falls asleep? That pins and needles feeling. It’s that but a little more painful 24/7. The worst part is just that it never ends. But the overall is definitely tolerable. If I constantly felt like throwing up, I would take the first out I could get. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GeneticBlueprint Posted September 3, 2023 Share Posted September 3, 2023 My dad was plastered by a car when he was yielding at a turn on his motorcycle. The driver’s insurance kept trying to close the case before all of my dad’s medical stuff was taken care of so he sued and won. He received a handsome sum. There’s not a single day he would choose that money over getting a healthy back and knee back. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My ex has a cousin who’s father was killed by a power company employee while drunk when he was like 18 and him and the mom live off the couple million settlement they got.

DarkStar189 Posted September 3, 2023 Share Posted September 3, 2023 A lot of people don’t realize you get a “nice settlement” because you are fucked up for the rest of your life.
