Awh Gene!!!! That's great!!!! I wish all of my bill collectors would send me a letter like that...lol.

Good for YOU! 

Wow, that is truly fantastic geneco. Im so happy for you! I remember when I was a lurker before I really posted and became part of this forum, reading about your tragic experience. Im glad everything turned out ok, and Im glad they wiped out that bill for you...You really deserve it. Take care of yourself.

Another very important thing I found out, that in this economy, if you don't pay for anything else, pay for your car insurance. My car insurance, even though I was not driving my car. It was my policy that saved me and your Insurance Adjuster will ONLY pay (if you are very lucky) the POLICY LIMIT on your policy. So if you have $30,000 (which is standard minimum) bodily injury my attorney told me he could have killed you (the 20 yr old who hit me)  and all you will EVER get is your policy limit. So of course my policy now is $100,000 uninsured/bodily injury. I pay alot more for it but it is worth it. Now of course you can sue someone civilly and go before a jury, and they could award you millions. But here is the kicker GOOD LUCK getting it. I know from experience just because you sue someone and get a judgement means absolutely NOTHING if the person you sued has nothing. 

That's great news Gene!  I'm in Vancouver, WA- worked and lived in Portland for a long time with dh so I'm in the area too.  Legacy is pretty good, I'm so glad they 'comped' you!
