My 8-year-old daughter was bit by a dog a few months ago by a neighbor's dog. The bite has healed, but the emotional scars haven't. My daughter is now absolutely terrified of dogs, and cats now, too. She won't play outside, except in our backyard and won't ride her bike which she absolutely loved before this incident. Before this incident, we were even planning to get a dog. This is obviously out of the picture now.
Our medical bills totaled over $800 before insurance. We gave them the bill, wanting $800 because we pay for our insurance on a weekly basis, and they shouldn't benefit from that. We thought that was more than fair because of the trauma my daughter suffered.
Well, today, they tried to give us a check for $87! Yes, that's $87! I was so insulted by this, and hurt! All that my daughter went through, they tried to give her an $87 check?!!! They only want to pay our copay!
Well, I typed up a letter and returned their check, informing them we will be contacting an attorney. So, instead of the $800 we wanted, I'm sure they'll have to pay a few extra thousand for pain and suffering, and also for the lost wages because we had to miss work because of this.
I can't believe these people! 
Thanks for letting me vent! |
