Update to the car accident last Friday 16th May:

Had to go to the Doctor twice last week, and going again this coming Monday, she has given me a baja (sick note) as I'm self employed. She is quite concerned about a large lump in the bruised area of my chest.

I still cannot drive, and it's painful to get in and out of a car or my bed.

Went with friends for lunch today (to relive the boredom) and bumped into a couple of Mossos also dining. One of them is a friend of a friend, and the other one actually attended the accident, and he recognised my Son.

Apparently the driver of the other car was over the limit when breathalised (no surprise there after menu del dia time) and the police report is all in my favour.

Sammy Thomas the Insurance broker who is handling my claim has recommended a private Lawyer who has previously represented Nestle and Pepsi here in Spain, so I have accepted his services to claim for my injuries and also to sue Chevrolet for the non deployment of my air bag.

Chevrolet were fined only last week in the US for 35 million dollars for faults on different models of cars, so maybe they can now add air bags to the list.

Will keep you all posted with any developments, and thank you Sammy for your continued support and professionalism.
