    They might fire him. Knowing how you were injured with photos to prove it, Western might fire him thinking there's a lawsuit on the horizon.

    Just tell them you were never informed of the seatbelt? Were you informed?

    I hope I don’t have to get involved in a lawsuit. But I got hurt in their truck and the accident occurred in their yard, because they didn’t fill a pot hole in. I’m just hoping they take care of me properly. The ER made it abundantly clear they would send me the bill if western doesn’t pay.

    Talk to a recommended attorney. You might end up owning a truck.

    I actually am glad. He’s living a stressful existence. Paycheck to paycheck on a lease purchase he can’t afford with dwindling miles and weekly NYC trips. He wasn’t the happiest dude. And he did not care at all about me getting injured.
