This person won't be driving again. I highly doubt it.
Not to sound like a nasty wet rag, but do not discount the power of the AARP in keeping senior citizens driving. My XH was a paramedic in a predominately retirement community (Sun City, AZ) and ooohhh the stories he would tell about accidents and the total lack of penalties.

So will be up to Dawn's attorney to force the issue of compensation and penalties. Or at least compensation. There's civil law and criminal law. I agree, this should be criminal. It's criminal to beat someone to a pulp but often only civil to run them down (unless there's intent).

Must get back to that %#&* report I'm supposed to be writing.

Hope you get to feeling better Dawn. Gentle hugs to you!
