Awhile ago, I was driving along a local road and was hit by a bigass Escalade (that was racing another car) going 90 mph (according to witnesses); my car flipped and rolled 5 times down a hill.
Mr. Hit & Run was never found.
My child racked up $9K in med bills in about 2 hours and he is THANKFULLY fine.
My injuries were different and I am still treating and my med bills almost $70K right now.
They will soon exceed $100K due to a second surgery.
Our health ins has paid most of this; the auto ins's med pay paid $12K ($6K per person).
Yes, there will be a settlement from my uninsured motorist coverage, but the point is that our health insurance was a true blessing under these circumstances.
