Car Accidents, Would Monetary Payout Make You Happy?

Car accidents happen just about every minute of the day, everyday. With so many vehicles on the road. It really is no surprise that accidents happen for a number of reasons. Tiredness,driving for too long, mobile phones and other distractions all lead to accidents.

The reason i decided to write this post, was because i read something on the net that made me wonder if i would be happy with a monetary payout should i ever be involved in a serious accident.

I read about a case that was taken on by a Boston car accident attorney. The short version of it is, that a passenger was in the backseat of a car, when the car got rear ended by a truck. The dude in the backseat ended up with all kinds of problems, and even had to have an MRI scan.

The final payout for the dude in the backseat was $526,816.00. Which is alright i suppose, especially as it was an accident. Although he did suffer with on going conditions and 20% body function failure. But if it wasn’t for his Boston auto accident lawyer he may not of got that and ended up not being able to work without compensation.

So i wondered if i was involved in an accident and received a cash settlement. Would i be happy? I first decided that i’d be pretty pissed off with being in such a serious accident in the first place. Then i started to think “At least i’d still be alive, and have some money to spend whilst i couldn’t do much else”. I figure i’d be happy to be alive, and of course i wouldn’t refuse the cash settlement. Unfortunately, accidents happen. I just hope no one i know or myself are involved in something like what happened above. Not everyone is as lucky to survive a car/truck accident and live to tell the tale.

Stay safe people.

I Hear Wedding Bells!

Is there a better sound in the summer time than that of wedding bells? I suppose it depends on who you are really. Well if your a certain mate of mine who plans on tying the proverbial knot in just a few weeks, your probably waiting for those bells to start ringing pretty soon.

Weddings are fun, i don’t have a problem with them. Alcohol everywhere, people getting too drunk and making fools of themselves, and of course the happy couple themselves. (Plus bridesmaids ;) )

My only concern is, what the hell do i get them? Sure i could grab HIM something for fishing, Or i could get HER some shoes. But what in the world do we get for both of them?

I don’t intend to break the bank that’s for sure. So will probably look into some of these cheap wedding favors. It’s not that i don’t care, but i think he’s got a right bargain with his new wife to be. (Like they’ll have the time ;) to care what we bought them).

The most likely wedding favor i’ll buy, will probably be some photo holding coasters. Or something equally useful for their new marital home. Read the rest of this entry »
