About a year ago I posted this blog about the lady that was suing me for 'rear ending' her:

Well, I recieved a letter in the mail this week saying that they settled and so now I can finally talk about how ridiculous this whole thing became. And a funny story that came out of this whole experience.
About 3 or 4 months ago I had to go give a deposition regarding the events of the 'accident'; and in this deposition they are just wanting you to say something that they can use against you. So my canned answer was "Yes, to my recollection" or "No, to my recollection". I didnt dare expand on any of my answers. It was then my lawyers turn to ask Mrs. X (wont use her name) questions regarding the 'crash'. (Who, by the way, thought this was the most RIDICULOUS case he had seen). So he asked the standard questions "is this your car [showing her a photo]", "what did you do the day after the accident", etc. He then asked Mrs. X "Is there any activities that you used to enjoy before the accident that you can no longer partake in?" Now remember, she is suing for bodily damage and loss of enjoyment of life. And she answers, "I used to be a runner; I liked to run...and now I just can't do that." Here is what you do not know...the woman EASILY weighed 350 lbs! And my lawyer, with a straight face, said, "M'am, I find that real hard to believe."
Do you know how hard I had to try to not just burst out in laughter?!

Holy crap that is hilarious!!!!
What does that mean they settled? Did your insurance have to end up paying for any of her "loss of enjoyment of life" or did they throw the case out?
