I strongly recommend you see a lawyer. The insurance co is using one and they will SEEM really nice and will push for you to settle. They will not pay a dime till you settle, you will be stuck with the bills if it take longer that a year or you PIP runs out, ( this is in Oregon, not sure all states are the same). I went through this with my daughter. We found a lawyer that use to work for insurance co. He was a nice, level headed person, that was to the point. He was not out to make a killing and actually was picky about his clients. Wouldn't do anything unless it was a REAL case.
The insurance Co will not help you out, just try to get you to settle less that they owe. I hated to do it, and we are not trying to get anything more than our bills paid in a reasonable time.

Not weird, bodies are generally loose and not tensed up expecting it. Stay loose your body goes with the flow rather than stiff and ridged trying to avoid the collision.

I fear something like this more than I should. I used to drink Alot and thank God I never did this to somebody driving home.

Glad you came out of it. The SD served you well. I agree with the lawyer advice. Don't go lenient on the Drunk Driver.

Speedy recovery!

Hate to see your truck messed up like that, but glad to hear you walked away from it. Looks like it could have been much worse.

Nasty one. Glad you didn't have any more injuries then a busted arm as that kind of wreck can cause all kinds of whiplash pain.

Your truck - I will that guess a little bondo, some paint and a buff wont fix it easily. Hope you are looking for a replacement.

The Superdutys have very week cab. They don't like being upsidedown.
