super yay!

I WAS being sued :(

Was being the operative word in that sentence. I had a deposition scheduled for today. Earlier in the week i finally scheduled the day off, as with 3 days to go i figured it wasn't going to get rescheduled anymore :( . (i had an earlier date in Aug for this, that had been rescheduled to today). I call the lawyers office yesterday afternoon just to make sure, i don't need to bring anything... And hear that my lawyer.. is in talks with the opposing party at that moment.. I get a call at 5:30 yesterday, and case if officially settled. YAY!!!! no deposition, no court trial dates, thank god.. done.

I was in a car accident over a year ago. It was my fault, i rear ended someone at a stop light. i was going pretty slow 10, 15mph and had a chance to slam on the breaks for a split second. My truck had a lot of damage, but the other cars not so much. She was an older lady, didn't even want the ambulance called. I called them because she seemed stressed and was breathing heavily and i was concerned for her health. Police came.. tow truck.. yada yada yada.. everything taken care of. Mrs. X seems not too bad off, just shaken up. About a year later.. serious official paperwork comes in the mail for me. I'm being sued for a bit over my insurance policy limit because of the accident. Reasons: health damage, missed work.. and the best.. her husband was even a plantiff.. Unfortunately, due to the accident, Mrs. X ... was unable to perform her martial duties (nudge, nudge, wink wink if u know what i mean). Now did i mention she was older.. i don't know perhaps 60 ish. now i would hope that she's still enjoying all possible extra curricular activities at that age, as i would hope i would be. But seriously...

... come on now.. if the accident were worse, if she were really damaged, then i wouldn't make fun of a claim like that. but personally my take on it.. is they got greedy. I'm a big believer in Karma, and very happy with the outcome, as i don't even have to go to a deposition. So that's all i have to say.
