call a lawyer, sue for everything you can get. that's how the system works, especially involving serious injuries.

especially if he was being negligent or, even worse, drunk. my mother's best friend was hit by a drunk driver, now she lives in a nursing home because she doesnt remember how to use a bathroom.

a fractured sternum isnt bad, its a bone that was made to protect i think. when i broke my collar bone (much less important/front and center, i know, but hear me out) it was similar. they couldnt do anything but say "hey, we have a sling to remind you not to use your arm for 6-8 weeks. you can use it." the whole situation is unfortunate, thats for sure, but in the end, what matters is that the only things truly broken are replaceable. your mother is not, but she will be fine.

I am grateful that her injuries weren't worst. Considering the list of things that could have gone wrong is huge...

See the weird thing is, I haven't been able to get contact with the officer..so I have no fucking idea what is going on. For all I know, it could have been my mom that made a reckless swerve and was the cause of the accident.

I feel like it's a huge conspiracy. But then again, I haven't really tried that hard to get in contact with the officer (only twice). Although seeking legal council seems like a hassle.

Anyone know of a good lawyer?

Sorry to hear about what happened :( But yeah, I third the notion of suing. When I was younger, my parents and I always had the bad luck of being in car accidents that weren't our fault. But in the end, we would always sue and at least make some money out of it, even when we weren't injured.

Good luck with the next few weeks!

Small claims court does not require a lawyer, but it typically helps.

Casual googling will yield a bloodsucker lawyer that can help you.
