Bike Accident - Helicopter

[indysteel]

Oh my gosh. How terrifying. I'm glad you're mostly okay and I hope your rehab goes well. Hopefully, the provider (not sure if the helicopter is a service of the hospital or seperate entity) will be willing to negotiate with you. Thanks for bringing the issue to our attention. I can't say that I've ever thought about what would happen if I needed a helicopter, be it from a bike or car accident. But now that I live outside the Indianapolis metro area, that is something to think about.

Glad you're healing featurile. That is scary.

And that helicoper airlift bill-- shocking. Let us know of outcome.

First of all I'm glad that you are healing fine and sharing your experience with us here, TODAY. A big hug from me!!

I'll echo what others said here, you should get a lawyer with accident/injury experience to help you with this and to negotiate the bill with the helicopter company. Hopefully he won't charge you more than what you owe to the helicopter company . I do really hate the "get a lawyer" route but, what can you do? Oh, also thanks for the helicopter service heads up. I live in Orange County FL and I will search for this service and how it works here.

This is funny (not funny like ha ha) but yesterday when we were driving back home through the Florida I-4 route, I saw hundreds of billboards of lawyers offering the: Did you have an Accident? Are you Injured? service and I was so tired of the billboards that I told my husband that if I see one more I was going to throw up. And look at me today, advising to you to look for one. Ironic...
