If you can still use your hands properly, you should be fine. Think positive, you propably wouldn't gotten car for a long time without him.
yeah who the hell cares drunk idiots kill thousands every year, it's cool, not like they do it on purpose

That really sucks man. If it were in Nevada, he probably would have gotten a few years, at least. Especially if this was more than his first DUI accident. Glad to see he'll be off the road for awhile, but that's bullshit your operation was ruled as unnecessary. :/
Also, nice on the ride. Funnily enough, I just purchased a 07 Civic myself (LX, though  .)

I'm going to agree with you 100%.
Drunk driving is asinine. If an adult is too inconsiderate, stupid, self-absorbed, ignorant, etc. etc. to realize that drinking and driving is an easily preventable, serious offence that can cause harm to the community, they deserve a far greater punishment that what this tool received.
There is no excuse for drinking and driving these days. Everyone knows the rules, everyone knows the potential outcomes. The stats for alcohol-related driving injuries are staggering. The only reason shit like this continues is because the punishments are paltry and offenders have little to worry about.
I'd be furious. I'd want this prick to spend time in jail; pay for surgery, pay for damages, and pay for their own stupidity.

Sounds like you have a nice job and a good life going for you. You seem like a thoughtful person as well, even if this guy hurt you in many different ways. Hope the money comes to good use and you enjoy yourself. Best of luck
|
His punishment seems right... Just because he didn't get years of jail doesn't mean he was let off easy.
|
Wtf??? He should pay all. If he dont pay make him pay...
Where is the justice???
Btw i was in bike accident not so serious like you but i kinda understand what you feeling.
Be strong. Gl

So let me get this straight. You have no money for a shoulder reconstruction surgery, but with the money you recieved so far you bought a Honda Civic.
Priorities..

The problem is obviously your healthcare system and not your justice system ^_^ glad u're ok! don't let yourself be bothered by thoughts of revenge and all that bullshit, im sure his life will be quite miserable.

Man if that had happened in Texas he would have gotten raped. You being injured isn't a DUI anymore it's Intoxication Assault which is a felony...
The problem with DUI's is that's it's a damn crime that knows no social lines. Every culture circle does it. This means that it's very lucrative for lawyers to fight them because rich people try their damndest to not have a DUI on record.
Just for sake of comparison a DUI report is on average 9 pages... a typical aggravated assault is only about 2 pages.
Our justice system is fucked.

I hope you'll get better soon.  The guy who hit you was a bitch and needs a more severe punishment.
Edit: I think a death sentence would suffice.
|
In the netherlands you used to get a fine for DUI (and a revoked drivers licence depending on the severity of your drunkeness). I'm not sure what the penalty was for an accident caused by DUI driving but I don't think it was very high.
Lately however they are starting to treat an accident caused by DUI driving as manslaughter so offenders are getting a much bigger sentence.
I'm not sure about the severity of your injury but I would have taken the surgery. If needed I would even have taken a loan for it if needed. It will benefit you in the rest of your life I think and most likely will greately increase your chances of being accepted into the military.
Anyway good luck.

fuck this shit.
he fucking destroys your fucking clavicle and leaves you fucked up for life, which will affect your job situation and your confidence just walking around and trying to live a normal life...
and the worst things that happen to him is... honestly, 5 years of suspended license and a 1000 fee??? that is bullshit. fucking death penalty that son of a bitch.
but then again, i'm unreasonable biased against people being irresponsible. there's a lot of other worse things that don't get me as much, but when people are irresponsible and hurting other people, that just lights my fuse really bad.

Your shoulder's messed up too badly for you to be able to join the military? If that was the case, dosen't the military have a policy where they would pay for it?
|
DUI is just stupid.
The worst is when cops break up a party and force hundreds of teens to drive home, most of them drunk. I've seen it happen so many times here it makes me sad.

Don't blame this on the cops please. Them being to drunk to drive is not the cops fault. They would have driven home eventually anyway most of them being even more drunk. If you are drinking it's your own responsibility to find an alternative way home. If you go to a party by car ALWAYS make sure you have a designated driver who stays sober.

Wow, u serious?
I got caught with a DUI in Atlanta and had to pay 7800.
FUCK.. he hits you and $1000 and random nonsense time burning?
That angers me. For me and you.
And I was just driving down a block to my home man...
|
glad your safe man. thats teh first priority
|
shit that looks like it hurts like hell! Good thing I don't drink that much anymore.. most irresponsible thing I've done in the past.
Yeah, the punishment your guy had was pretty minimal (since he did injured a lot of people) Man, America's not that strict I guess.
for a shoulder that's scarred for life versus a Honda Civic... hhhhmmmmm pretty hard to choose between the two
