Sorry

NUUUUUUU I HOPE YOU GET BETTER SOON ╥﹏╥ You do a lot for us so don’t stress about uploading it so fast. You do a lot and we appreciate you <3

We are all adults here, and I don’t really care either way, so I don’t mind being public about it. I am in a lawsuit with an internet/ cell company because they improperly installed a internet wire, which lead to a recycling truck snagging it and it becoming a 7ft high tight trip wire, from one side of the street to the other. I turned on the road on my e-bike, heard someone on the sidewalk yelling “holy shit, watch out”, turned my head to look at him, and hit the wire dead on. I obviously crashed out and smashed my head on the pavement so hard my helmet shattered. I hit the wire on chest level just below the neck, so if it was even a tiny bit higher it would have hit my throat. The internet company who installed the wire have claimed full fault, but until they find out the full rundown of all medical symptoms, I can’t hire or a lawyer or claim for a settlement amount. I am fine and can function normally for the most part, can walk and go about daily life, but I do experience dizzy spells, intense headaches, stress caused head flares (I legitimately almost passed out because I missed a bus, a little after the accident lol), halo tension around my head that doesn’t stop, and my neck is consistently stiff and is painful to move. It does slightly affect working on the chapters because it is hard to lean forward to clean for long periods of time, and if I hyper focus for two long I get horrible ice pick headaches that force me to take breaks. The things that aren’t a big deal are that my left eye and left arm feel like it has less nerve recognition singles to my brain, but I haven’t lost normal functions like sight or grip strength at all. The biggest problem from this accident is that I permanently lost all sexual feeling, I have zero signals to the brain, and it could also mean I’m infertile now, but I will never know unless I try (unlikely lol), because they don’t don’t check unless you are actively trying with no results… other than having to update anything medical to my claim representative via email, nothing is happening in the legal end and could take 2 years to see any compensation. So yeah, that’s everything. I didn’t lose my ability to walk, translate or die, so it definitely could have been worse, but I still want a hella big claim amount. Unrelated to the accident, but I am going to a specialist because I get the same stabbing pain as Garam under my rib and it has been ongoing for a year, while I’ve just ignored it lol The author has convinced me to actually care about it and not let my ridiculous pain tolerance dictate whether I should care or not.

Man that’s crazy ╥﹏╥ You have the AO3 curse but for translators. I’m glad this story has helped you in such a real way. Also Jesus Christ thank god you wore a helmet ╥﹏╥

If they're claiming you can't lawyer up until they know the full extent of your injuries, you might try anonymously posting about your experiences on one of those legal advice subreddits (try to be as vague/generic as possible so that whatever you post can't be linked to your actual legal cases) to see if anyone has some helpful insights regarding your situation and what rights / options you have.
You might also check with anyone who lives near where it happened to see if they have Ring or dashcam footage (though it might be to late for that if footage is overwritten as the driver travels).
