My son was a front seat passenger in a singal car accident. He is a very nice looking young man, he was thrown almost completely out of the windshield. His face is scared very badly his eyelid is severe it will not close all the way and has a V in it. He is going to have plastic surgery. I have never had to get a lawyer for anything before in my life, the highway patrol said we needed to find one. my son was hurt the most out of the 3 young men, the driver had an airbag the passenger in the backseat had my son's seat as a shield. the attorney says that the max policy the driver has is 50 thousand, my insurance is paying 10 thousand of medical bills. i want to make sure my son's face is repaired and that he is ok, the attorney is ready to seattle with the 50 thousand before my son has even had his first appointment at the plastic surgen. any good advice i am grateful though I don't have a clue about any of this leagal stuff. I am confused that it happened so quickly. 2 months ago. i am not sure if in the long run the cost of all the medical bills will be paid and the health of my son. he was knocked out for God only knows how long. took at least an hour to get him to the hospital because the driver was scared he was going to jail and the people that picked up the 3 boys had to take the driver and the other passenger home before they could get my son to the hospital. my son was bleeding very badly, his eyelid laid open his forehead cut badly and the whole side of his face awful. thank you all in advance

Plastic surgeons charge for consultations? I really don't now but I would have thought they would not charge for this. Your attorney can offer no insight on what is normal in your area?

My goodness!! Everyone, in that car are lucky they are still alive!! I'm sorry your son was seriously hurt, CONSERNED. Also..I read that the "car was on probation." I know PEOPLE can be on probation, but...a car?! How does that happen? Wow!! I have a feeling, because Daddy has money, THIS may be 'swept under the rug.' Just my opionion, of course. I live in a small town....I 'see' alot of this. However...I'm NOT saying this IS going on. Just reading this story, that's the impression I get. Hope things work out for you. CONSERNED, can you update me on the 'progress' of the case?

the driver of the car we thought was on probation, we found out the next day after the wreck he the driver of the car was on house arest. and i live in a small town and a lot of things get swept under the rug around here. this boy the driver should have been in prison or at the least jail a good while ago his record includes.. the first charge grand theft, VOP & dealing in stolen property, VOP & sex with a 13 year old girl, and of course now the attorney said VOP & DUI, leaving a scene of an accident with serious injurys, and did not report, driving with no licence, wreckless driving. as i have said before i don't want the boy to go to jail

Just going to let him continue on and do this to yet another person? Can't imagine why he just continues on this path. Perhaps next time he'll step it up a notch.Sorry, but not only should you not be ignoring the problem, you should be pressing the issue. A nice letter to several key folks outside your town would probably help (State Attorney, Governor, etc).

Grand Theft
VOP
Dealing in stolen property
Sex with a 13 year old girl
DUI
Leaving the scene of a accident with serious injuries
Driving witout a license
Wreckless driving
I don't mean to sound harsh but...with this laundry list of offenses, his sorry ass should have been in jail a long time ago. And, sorry to say this but...if he was in jail, you wouldn't be going through all this.
Why...please tell me...WHY in the world do you not want this guy to go to jail?

Bet if it were your 13yr old daughter or next time he's out driving drunk hits your child/spouse/mom/sister and kills them or leaves them in a wheel chair or bed the rest of their lives...you'll be singing another tune....see this is one of the things that's wrong with the world....no one takes a stand....if someone before you had you wouldn't be in this shape...I think you are a decent person from what you have posted...but I would like for you think about something....in six months or a year from now if he kills a child driving drunk...or knocks up a 12 year old....aren't you going to feel just a tiny bit responsible that you didn't do what you could to get this loser off the street?Posted: Wed Oct 01, 2008 01:27 am Post Subject:
*shakes head*
conserned - go back and read your posts. Then sit down and think about all the money and time you have spent. Think about how much more time and money you will have to spend.
And..sorry to be blunt - think of the pain your son has gone though - and will go through...probably for quite a while.
You still want to keep the guy out of jail?
If it were me in your shoes, someone would have to keep me out of jail - no body hurts my family.

I'm all for giving EVERYONE and ANYONE a second chance...but this boy has had about ten it sounds like....time to suck it up and do what's right...tell you what...I'm with life I'm a mother grizzly when it comes to my family and my husband is the ultimate male protector...not a doubt in my mind that we would go to whatever lengths necessary to get some justice....wonder if you'd have felt different if you were visiting your son in a cemetary...only by the grace of God you're not...

WOW!! I understand this is ONLY a boy, however..............he knows the 'rules'. He should be held responsible for what he did. I DO have a question, though. Because this boy is a minor, when he turns 18..is this issue STILL on his record or is it just 'gone' because he was a minor at the time? It's not fair to 'sweep all of this under the rug.
