My bil (dh's younger brother, 40 yrs old) has had a string of great luck followed by a string of terrible luck.

Here is the good luck - He, finally, after two marriages that lasted a total of 2 years and many lonley and unhappy years following, has found the love of his life. The factory he worked at shut down but he was able to find another job just in time, before the plant completely shut down. He was fortunate, because many people are still jobless. And, lastly, him and his wife just found out they're expecting! I'm finally going to be an aunt! The baby's due the end of November.

Now for the terrible luck - He somehow seriously hurt his back and had to have back surgery the beginning of March. He was in terrible pain but was getting better. Then, last Friday night he was going to work on third shift and he was sitting at a stop sign when some drunken a-hole rearended him going 40 miles an hour! The guy who hit him had some crap kind of insurance, and bil's insurance is giving him the runaround. The sherriff who did the report totally screwed it up and I don't even think they did a breathalizer test. There was a girl in the truck that rearended him who's head busted out the windshield, but she and the driver refused treatment, obviously. Bil's vehicle was totalled and the amount the insurance will give them won't buy one like he has. Bil can barely walk at this point, but is afraid to not go to work as he hasn't even worked there a year yet and has already had to take off for back surgery. His wife is a total mess, not good for someone only 7 weeks pregnant. We're all worried.

So anyway, prayers and positive thoughts needed, obviously!

I am sorry your BIL is having such terrible luck.
I hope his back is feeling better.
Is there any way to sue these people for the accident? Somehow something should be done. I can't see nothing happening. I would complain to the police station and ins co.
