That sucks man. But like others have said, at least you are OK now.
He's driving illegally without a license or insurance, he runs a stop sign and injures someone, and all he gets is a ticket??? *sigh* I'm pissed for you.

No, I wasn't really on the top of my game when I was in the ER. Maybe I'll have to go back for a follow up visit... "Hey Doc, want me to turn my head and cough?"

Saab? Good riddance!
Just kidding, sorry to hear about this. I just moved back 'home' to Florida and have already witnessed 4 accidents. And I don't mean drove by the wreckage, its been a little over one month and I saw someone hit someone else on 4 seperate occasions. I'm just waiting for it to be me.

Man, there seems to be some Saab haters around here  . If this had happened in my old Integra, I'd probably be dead. Say what you will about Saabs, but that thing was built like a tank compared to my old car.

Sue him anyway, I'd say. The problem with immigration is that for the most part there really is no incentive for them to become legal.
They get paid tax free under the table or use someone elses SSN. They get reduced or free health care. And they smash into legal abiding drivers in their un-insured SUVS with a slap on the wrist. IIRC, there is no citizenship or legal resident requirement for auto-insurance.
Make that fu*ker pay by dragging his as* to court. If nothing else, he'll be too chickensh*t to show and that will put a warrant on his tail. My wife and I spent 4 years and nearly $2K on immigration proceedings. My wife is now a naturalized citizen and she is more passionate about the immigration situation than I am.
The INS may be an overfunded, understaffed, undertrained, forrest of paperwork joke. But it is our system and has laws to protect it and us.
