Hello Joe,

Thank you for your prayers and comments and listening.  This discussion are helping to get things off my
chest.

Daryl would have started receiving ACC (accident
compensation) very quickly after he signed papers
in the hospital. The hospitals have forms etc for
patients to sign as soon as they are able so these
benefits can get into the system and everyone
concerned can receive their payments etc.

No-one receives full payment from ACC, only about
80% (this is how it use to be, but I have not been
home for nearly 9 years so things may have changed a little)

I agree, where are all the ethical people? 
One of the reason's I am annoyed - the court system
that gave the verdict of $1,000.00 payable to Daryl
by the driver, is rediculous...
(whether the judge could only fine this driver $1,000
as the full amount he could fine him) then this law
needs to be re-addressed.

This driver has the responsibility to assist with payment
and the court should have also included in their fine
that the Driver pay a certain amount weekly or 2 weekly
(whichever he gets paid by) to ACC to help offset this
extra drain on this benefit.

ACC is for everyone in New Zealand that has an
accident (dangerous sporting has to have their own
insurance policies to cover accidents and injuries)
Accidents happen that are not always anyone to blame
e.g. You can be crossing the street and fall and hurt
yourself badly that you need medical or hospital assistance.  ACC will assist this person with their
medical fees and if they have to take time off work etc.

Working people who have an accident in the work place
are covered by ACC too, however employers and employees pay into the system to cover these - similar
to Workers Comp here in the States.

I agree, every car on the road should have by law
insurance.  I know here in the States when you buy
a vehicle from a dealer you have to have proof of insurance before you can take the car off their lot
after purchase.

These drivers that get caught driving without insurance
and even worse suspended drivers licence, the law just
seems so lienent towards these offenders..that they
can go out again because they say 'what is the worst
you can do to me'?  Some of them have even been in
prison so it is not a new and scary place for them to
go that they will obey the laws to stop from going
to prison!



Kind regards
Amanda

Hello Kathleen,

Thank you, I appreciate you coming in and thinking
about us.

Yes, I agree with you..It is not being able to do
anything that frustrates and turns people to anger. 

You try and put 'your thinking cap on' and come up
with a solution but being one person seems so futile. 

The people one tries to deal with have their rules and
whether they see your problem or not - they are not
in the position to be able to change anything..

As a member of the human race, we think we have
power to change our circumstances - yet the bigger
picture we really can't..

I think this is when you really realise that humans
a little more than a 'guineapig on a treadmill'.  We
are just spinning our wheels and getting nowhere fast.

First, I am sorry your son was injured. But, he is alive and will recover. Second, Please do not harbor any hatered or ill feelings to the officals or the other person. This will only hurt you. Third, see a good lawyer. If there needs to be corrections made, let the courts make them. I have been in similar position. God and his Son, Jesus will take care of those who trust Him. Thanks, John

I am sorry to hear about your son but I can not feel sorry for your problems After all your beloved son is still here mine died. The crap you are dealing with is minor Thank God every day that your son is still here. When the going gets rough your remember that. Mamajena
