I am so very very sorry about this. No question, the wieght and bulk of your SUV saved you. It's good you were in one, when it happened, imagine if the DRUNK guy was in one and you were in some little tin can of a vehicle.

Take care, and USED your insurance, check the policy, get reimbursed for EVERYTHING, pain and suffering, loss of use (rental), and get the SUV fixed right the first time. If you have Uninsured Motorists BI/PO coverage, keep in mind that in a situation like this basically you are in an adverserial situation with your own Insurer, because they are standing in the shoes of the Uninsured motorist here and will try to get out of it by paying you as little as possible.

Good luck
I was hoping he'd croak but the wife insisted on doing what she could to keep him alive. I lack medical skills so all I could do was stand by.

The wife suggested we get some tin can which got better gas mileage to take her to work. Told her that she could earn more money to pay for the gas but she cannot earn more money to pay for body reconstruction.

My insurance is footing the bill less my deductible. I have Uninsured Motorist coverage so I will be very careful and watch my insurance.

Thanx.
