Wow it's so sad that something like that would take 6 years to settle.

Even sadder is the same six years it takes to settle a fatal car accident claim when the driver drunk at the time runs down two females at a bus stop while they waited to catch a bus  early morning , one being my wife dies and the other her sister spends 3 months in hospital with multiple fractures to her legs, a broken pelvis broken left arm, broken jaw all her front teeth removed two large rods inserted to support her legs eventually removed and he pleaded guilty, the Insurer finally made a settlement six years latter on the front step of the court house the day of the trial, according to my sister in laws Lawyer the amount was pretty much what she would have been awarded if it went to judgment and the Insurer was always going to pay up so why six years ?.

I'm sorry man.

That's terrible. What was his sentence?
