Does the driver or his family have money? If not, then her family is squeezing blood from a turnip and will never recoup much. If the driver's family does have money then it's likely that they spend more than her on a legal defense so she may lose the case or get a low monetary award; even if the guy and his family have money, the girl and her family will probably have to take pro bono work or settlement stipulation work as they will likely have to spend every nickel they have to pay for medical care. So either way it does not look promising.

This is a tragic situation that makes me hug my family a little more every day.

I know some people were offended by this, thinking maybe thinking of this poor girl in the same thought as sex is disgusting.
Well she is a human being with needs. The same hormones course through her blood as any other females. She gets horny too. So don't automatically dismiss this. You don't know that she wouldn't hit PoyeBoy. jc

Wrong. "Disgusting" is not the word for the situation that you are trying to justify. No one said anything about how she looks and wanting or not wanting to have sex with her. This girl is going through things that most of us cannot imagine and to have it lessened by yours and others insensitive remarks inappropriately aimed at being somehow callously funny IS disgusting.

you're right. i should've said that if poyeboy meant it just for shock value (which he probably did), it was wrong.

however to dismiss all possibility of sexual activity for the stricken young lady is unfair to her.

joking about it and thus stigmatizing it further is wrong. however to buy into the whole aspect of dissociating her from her sexuality is wrong too.

this is not a joke.

Figures, she was hit by an SUV, I bet the driver did not have a scratch on him.

The only one who is making an issue about "dissociating her from her sexuality" is you. No one on here said how they would not have sex with her because of her appearance. It was inappropriate to joke about it since the thread was meant to let people know about this tragedy and offer a way to help the family out. No one is saying that this girl should not have a sex life or that it should not be talked about. Don't try to turn this around into something that it is not. Sex was not the topic nor was her sex life even mentioned until someone did it for a laugh. That's simply not the issue at hand. Defending immoral and offensive comments on the basis of theoreticals does not validate it nor deserve further discussion.

Comment as you like but I'm dropping this part of the issue because it is a diversion from the real importance of the topic.

A young and smart attorney would probably take the case for free and then get a % from the final result. I knew a girl who did that. It was her first case and the client was poor as hell.It took her more than a year before getting a dime but when she got something believe me, it was worth 10 years of labor.

I read this 2 days ago. Saddest thing I've ever seen. I don't think anything else in the Internet has shocked me as much as this girl's story. And I've seen some fucked up shit...
