Our prayers are with both the PSD and the drunk.

Prayers for the full recovery of the PSD.
Praying that the drunk has the worlds worst and longest hang-over.

Wonder how he got DCS from a reg malfunction? Sure hope he is ok!

probably just ascended too fast (this is just a guess) once the problem hit

OR

the reporter got it wrong and there are no decompression injuries at all

Drunks always get the better end of the deal. I'd stub my toe, get a blood infection and die the next day!

First and foremost, it is good that he is alright. This isn't fun work and to get injured doing it is not cool!!!! I will say that from my experiences, newspapers follow the 80/20 rule. 20% of what they print is correct.

Unfortunately, on Saturday night, I found myself on the working end of a drunk driver. May have very well totalled a 2003 Tahoe. Still waiting for the adjuster but I am relatively certain I am going to get screwed financially on this deal. It sucks when you are simply going about your normal day and some "A-hole" decides to get wasted. You get smacked and then you lose out financially.

Any suggestions, I'm looking for help from the LEO side here.

Thanks,

Dan

Don't sign anything without a *choke, cough, cough* Lawyer.

hehehe just kidding about the choke, cough, cough thing.

Get a Pit Viper Lawyer and not a TV "One Call That's All" ambulance chaser.

Take some time and research out a good one that will fight to win.
