Today in the wonderful world of Law

So I got a call from my lawyer today, I don't know if I hate him or if I hate the system.

Back story.
On the sunny afternoon of July 30th 2008 I was ridding my older brothers motorcycle when a 1999 Dodge Dakota decided that stop signs didn't apply to him. I was struck by the truck sending my body and 850 lbs of steel soring though the air. When I came to rest on the pavement beside my bike and behind the truck a man jumped out and said "oh I'm so sorry I didn't see you, are you OK" the things I wanted to say, the things I wanted to do to him, but I with held. I told him to shut up can call the police. I lay ed there for a sec or two trying to find my bearings when a few by standers started to come over and help me and my bike back upright. I could feel the pain swelling in my back, arm, head, and groan. I could see the small amount of blood smeared on my uniform from my arm. I felt as if someone kicked me in the nuts 1,000 times and than a 1,000 more. I stood up and all I could think is that my brother is going to kick my ass for wrecking his bike... lol... Than the pain really set in, I could walk but it hurt, I could see and hear and talk but everything took so much effort. When the cops came and so did the medics they strapped me in and took me to the ER, when I got there they gave me some of the most amazing meds I have ever had. They made the pain go away for at least the time.

Anyways I could go into every detail but Ill save that for the lawyer. So I went to the doctors about 5 or 6 times complaining about different pains that I was having because of the accident and they gave me pills sent me to physical therapy and all that but I guess I did it wrong, I used Army Doctors not civilian ones (in the army I don't pay of my medical cost so why would I go anywhere else). The doctors gave me meds to help me sleep to help with pain to make my penis work again, they told me that I would never be able to do some of the things that I had planed because of the accident. So I got a lawyer and told them my story.

They talked about how sad they where and how they felt I had a real case. So I got my hopes up, told my mom dont worry about things I will buy you a new ones... ya that doesnt seem to be happening, all I ask for is reasonable compenation for my injuries thats not too much to ask for. Well the innsurance company called and they will only offer $3,000.00. After the lawyer fees that leaves me with about 1700, thats bull! I cant fly anymore because of this guy, I cant go outside with out sunglasses on anymore because of him, I cant have sex like I use to because of him, I cant do my job with out being in pain because of him! ALL BECAUSE OF HIM! and the lawyer said its because my medical bills are so low, all I am asking for is reasonable compansation, I bet the guy that hit me, his truck is fixed and his life is the same as it was before, me not at all!

So like I said I dont know if I hate lawyers or if I hate the innsurance company!
