    It must have been so very hard to stifle yourself. I would have been so po'd to hear them say that I was damaged goods
    I hope the judge sees things your way and you get a good settlement.

    I'll be thinking about you. (((HUGS)))

    PHEW!

    Much to my shock, the mediating judge made his decision on my case on July 1!!

    It's finally over. I can get my life back.

    I was awarded more than a jury could allow, more than I thought, but not what I wanted. Medical bills will be paid first, then the lawyer and then widdle 'ole me. No final figures yet, but in my calculation, I was awarded punitive damages and loss of income. The liability was already determined before hand.

    I won't be rich, I'll still be scared to go into my back yard and I will be reminded of my injury forever.

    But, it's done. Thanks for all your prayers and good wishes. I know that they were a great help. *Damaged Goods* my foot!



    I've been Boooo'd!

    "damaged goods" PFFFFT!!!!

    You're a WONDERFUL GIFT to us in a perfect package!

    SO glad you can put this behind you - and whatever funds you have you might be able to invest a bit of it to give you some residual income.

    HUGS!

    Glad the arbitration went well. I would nearly always prefer an arbitration than a jury trial. Juries can be so weird. I guess PA is different than OH. Here in OH, lawyers are paid 'off the top', then medical bills and costs (like securing medical records, expert testimony, etc) than the client. Hopefully your attorney can negotiate down your medical bills and you will realize a little bit more money.

    I am curious, in PA, are juries restricted to what they can award? Hopefully the judge's decision lays out what was what...medical, pain and suffering and punitive damages....

    Anyhow, glad it is all over.

    After all this sounds like a good result- and it's over which is good in itself
    Now relax - things are as they are and I hope that time will mend the rest.
