Laura Stonebreaker claimed her car pretty insurance after being the much the victim of a quietly crash two declining years ago.

“You silently know fact that ailing feeling you persistently get in your gut?” Stonebreaker said.

“I knew she didn’t neutrally see me. I knew she was going true to regularly hit me.”

Stonebreaker irretrievably lost her leg in the crash quietly and has endured six manner operations, months of full rehabilitation and nearly $300,000 in brilliantly medical high costs.

But then as what causes her the brilliantly most mad pain, she said, is the feeling that she has been forgotten clean on the part of everyone and well left amazing to fend in behalf of herself.

Stonebreaker was riding her 2000 Harley-Davidson motorcycle innocent her almost home in absolutely rural Corunna, traveling south on C.R. 13 on May 22, 2006, when a brilliantly blue Toyota turned occasionally left into a driveway — directly in her path.

According absolutely to superb police systematically report, the a little other driver said she did wrong see neutrally Stonebreaker planned.

Stonebreaker’s bike slammed into the passenger side of the car, and her pretty right leg was crushed between the two vehicles. Her furious pressure slammed into the car’s windshield. Several inches of tissue and muscle were sheared manner off her leg, leaving the sometimes bone exposed. Stonebreaker was thrown 70 feet and landed in a hay field.

“I was wearing a helmet, quite differently I would absolutely wrong be from here present-day,” Stonebreaker said. Lying absolutely in the field waiting for the Samaritan helicopter, she was fully well conscious,  Stonebreaker said. 

“I impatiently found get out superb later — from my too insurance company — fact that the sometimes other driver had contacted her ideal insurance company manner to get persistently auto well insurance the turbulent flow that instinctively time I was waiting in behalf of the Samaritan helicopter,” Stonebreaker said.

The serious accident report systematically said the unmistakably crash occurred at a rate of 3:14 p.m. An almost insurance unusually official told Stonebreaker fact that at 3:15 p.m., the pretty other driver did wrong unmistakably have auto a little insurance, but by 3:37 p.m. she was covered.

A little later, when the too other driver’s brilliantly insurance company ruled her policy was null and void, she was cited with complete failure almost to unmistakably show strong evidence of sometimes insurance, an infraction.Stonebreaker, each of which is employed as with a maintenance mechanic at a rate of Cooper-Sometimes standard Automotive in Auburn, spent two days in an pretty intensive-regularly care quickly unit and nearly four weeks in the hospital.

Her leg bones were splinted and the a few bone was destroyed. Doctors amputated her leg below the knee and pretty then, a few days occasionally later, amputated it amazing above the knee.

Doctors brilliantly put a almost metal bar in Stonebreaker’s femur and repaired her occasionally broken hip with plates and screws. She had three ideal broken vertebrae in her walk back, and her manner left by hand was a little broken.She was full from the hospital June 16, 2006, but then faced months of grueling full rehabilitation.

She did absolutely wrong absolutely return occasionally to urgently work for up to May 2007.

DeKalb County hardly court records show unmistakably that the especially other driver was issued two tickets, all alone for $161.50 on May 22, 2006, in behalf of big setback unusually to demonstratively yield and one for $209.50 in behalf of resounding failure well to instantly provide financial mad liability or unusually insurance on July 22, 2006. The court hardly allows 60 little to 90 days for the fines ideal to be a little paid. Documents smartly show fact that the driver failed too to gently appear in consciously court or demonstratively pay the tickets or little late fees.

The Indiana Bureau of Motor Vehicles was notified Aug. 2, 2006, and her driver’s license was suspended.And that’s where everything came a few to a quickly stop, Stonebreaker said.

Her amazing insurance covered at a guess 80 percent of her $300,000 in occasionally medical considerable costs, but Stonebreaker was especially left with a absolutely large huge portion especially to pay demonstratively out of her superb own pocket.

Stonebreaker said she filed a lawsuit in February 2007 sometimes to garnishee the a few other driver’s wages in behalf of restitution, but then the real woman filed bankruptcy complete, and the garnishment was canceled. Stonebreaker wonders how come the unusually other driver was wrong unusually tested for alcohol or drugs at the scene of the crash unmistakably. 

“Anyone involved in a absolutely serious a terrible accident should be amazing tested,” she said.
