$400? That doesn't seem like enough

Presumably that's not her settlement, that's just the damage to the bike and clothes (which must have been what she asked for). When I had my accident, I quickly got a check for the bike damage based on an estimate from my bike shop for what it cost to replace my bike since it was totalled, but the settlement, which include the medical expenses, lost wages and pain and suffering comes later. I didn't think to ask for the bike clothes (they had to cut my nice sugoi shorts off my), good call fredwina). You don't want to settle until you are sure what your final medical expenses are.

Clothes : don't thank me, thank Gary,
Also got money for a new helmet.
Yes, it just for bike damage - The final settlement will come after I m discharged from PT/MD care(like you said), since from what I have read, I will not regain 100% Range of motion, and there is a possibility that I may need joint replacement surgery down the road

wow, I'm really sorry to hear that you were that badly hurt. I am SO glad you got a lawyer..

[OakLeaf]

Oh man Fredwina, sorry to hear that. I didn't even know they did elbow replacements.

Hope the PT is going as well as possible.

TMI?

TMI?

Never TMI....but I'm weird that way.
I'm sorry you have to go through this. Good luck with it all.
FWIW: Most that I know that have had joint replacements have done VERY well, and been very glad they did it. Hopefully it won't be necessary for you, though. Hang in there.
