[Shotimes] OT/waaaay OT anyone here an insurance adjuster? or have this problem?

[James White]

I hate to shout, but, HIRE A REALLY GOOD ATTORNEY!

This person was injured at no fault of her own, so she should be entitled to
some compensation!  Talk around and get a good lawyer!  It may take a while,
but I have a close friend that does this kind of stuff here in Indiana and
he makes enough to buy a new Cadillac STS every year and send two kids
through college.  His clients (the real winners) get a lot more...
