Got Some Really Bad News This Morning, No Idea What To Do.
Location: Atlanta, Georgia
My girlfriend (23f) got in a really bad motorcycle accident in September of this year. Broken tibia, several lacerations, bike was totaled. She’s had to go in for surgery multiple times already. The guy who hit her just drove off afterwards, leaving her to bleed out on the side of the road.
We thought we had a strong civil case against him, criminally there is a strong case, he’s facing five separate charges, including a felony. However, he was driving a rental car, apparently not registered in his name, nor under his insurance.
We were holding out for a big payout, at least something to look forward to after all this pain we’ve been put through, her almost losing her leg, not being able to walk for months, having to take time off work while already struggling financially.
But this morning, she got a phone call from our lawyer who is pursuing a civil case against the guy. Got told the best they can do for us is $25k. Thats not nearly enough to cover all of the bills resulting from this, of which are nearing $400k. The little cherry on top is that today happened to be her birthday. I genuinely have no idea what to do, if there is anything we can even do at this point. I am just…baffled. Any advice would be very much appreciated.
