Paul Read Posted September 14, 2007 Share Posted September 14, 2007 Hey Tom, I seem to be having trouble contacting you. Can you contact me direct? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Read Posted September 18, 2007 Share Posted September 18, 2007 (edited) Tom seems to have dropped off the end of the world. Anybody know another way of contacting him? Edited September 18, 2007 by Paul Read Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wntrmute Posted September 18, 2007 Share Posted September 18, 2007 If Tom comes back I would suggest quite strongly that he verify his legal rights before selling off valued possessions. Either his car insurance, the other drivers' or both should be picking up any medical expenses that aren't covered by medical insurance. Not to quash someone else's bargains, it's just sometimes people's lives get ruined because they aren't forceful enough with the insurance people. The insurance will, eventually, do the right thing -- sometimes you just have to be the sqeaky wheel to get them there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel Hersh Posted September 19, 2007 Share Posted September 19, 2007 This statement about insurance is unfortunately not necessarily true, at least here in California where Tom and I both live. But it's my hope that Tom did find some other way to deal with those expenses and was able to hang on to his concertina.
