My cousin and i were t-boned in a road rage accident and his driver side door wouldnt open. Then the people who hit us got out and tried to fight us when we were stunned and dazed. My aunt only has liability and no Collision coverage on her 2005 honda and im not sure if the other people even had insurance. We went to the hospital and got X-rays and i just got a mail for 4000. Im not sure what i should do as the passenger.
Monday I clean cut my hand right below my knuckles in the top.. Basically, the top of the palm of your hand. Cut my thumb off and 3 fingers completely in half big knuckles included. The pinky finger was the only one keeping the other three fingers held on. Lucky me they re-attached fingers but thumb was sadly found way too late to reattach. My mother found my thumb the next day which she only looked for once she realized I didn't have my thumb after surgery when the doctor let her know. FREAK ACCIDENT... My hand was cut with a table saw and thumb was missing yet the fire dept showed up and the individual who was supposed to be wrapping my hand and helping stop the bleeding requested to take pictures on his phone the guy took the photo and started to wrap it and then a 2nd fireman asked him to hold up so he could get a photo as well on personal phone so they unwrapped what had been done 2nd fireman took photo then they proceeded wrapping my hand. The chief and 3 other fireman showed up shortly after and stayed on the sidewalk overlooking the guys wrapping me up but were stepped back and talking about their weekends.. Looking back I will never forget their lack of efforts because my thumb was 3 feet from the saw and now my life is changed forever... Fire dep. and Ems didn't even look for it. Not sure which one of the two groups checked the saw, but they basically just looked at the blade and told me they think it may have been mutilated. so search stooped there... IT GETS WORSE. I get loaded into ambulance and they basically take me to the nearest big hospital even though there is only one hand specialist and he cant reattach anything.. I get there and nobody is ready at trauma for us, so we wait 5 mins by the door inside while EMS made sure we were at the right location before being pulled into a room. Once in the room they give me a little pain medicine but it is nothing compared to what I am taking now 5 days post surgery in other words it didn't do shit.... I could tell nobody knew what to do or had a POA. Looking back now I know this hospital couldn't do anything for me that's why they all walked in circles clueless.. The hand doctor gets there decides to undo my bandages and take an Xray... This was excruciating.... Then he comes back and basically says he can't do anything for me there and I need to be taken to a hospital 25 mins downtown that is known to reattach and fix hands. They called the same ambulance to turn around and come back and re wrapped my hand together. Then I waited 20 mins before they arrived and was given very little pain meds for the road. I later found out the doctor had called the specialist who would eventually pull off the miracle on my hand and told him I had all 5 fingers but my thumb was crushed. This was after he had a visual and x ray so yet again the opportunity to find my thumb was lost. On the way there the ambulance hit the highway and decided to turn off lights and sirens while on the highway and cruise to the next hospital. This pisses me off to think about now giving my pain. I finally arrived in good hands and was taken straight back for a 8 hour microscopic reattachment surgery. It took so long a 2nd specialist was requested by my doctor to help. After a very smooth reattachment it was finally addressed that everything went well but I was missing my thumb which is sadly the most important part of your hand. My mom immediately went to look, and she found it immediately around 3 ft from the saw just under the edge of the kayak that was sitting behind the saw in the garage.. She brought it back and it could have been 1000% reattached based on the cuts because it was perfect clean cut: however, at this point it was too late... So I very emotionally watched them take it from my room and throw it away....... Not sure what to do. Going to talk with some attorneys Monday because of how mad I am about those these 3 groups completely fucking up and not looking for my thumb. Am I justified to seek a lawsuit since I can no longer do my construction job at work which loses my family majority of our income or go fishing or use a can opener etc etc etc.. Very frustrated let me know thoughts.
