Let's weigh this:
Makikipagmatigasan ka so you call your lawyer (magkano ba singil ng lawyer pag ganyan?) then you go the a private hospital's ER. You pay for the consulatation fee, for the x-ray. Most likely kahit walang makitang injury yung doctor he would write, "ligamental strain, left knee, secondary to a vehicular accident" kasi ligamental strains are unquantifiable. Parang nabatak lang nang husto yung litid pero di naman nabiyak. The strain was enough to cause minimal inflammatory reaction kaya sumasakit. A doctor would tend to believe subjective complaints.
Have you seen the documentaries of malingerers at Discovery channel? Di ba nagpapa-PT pa sila tapos paid leave, hindi nahuhuli hanggant walang PI na kumukuha ng video na okay naman pala yung tao? Yet the doctors would diagnose them with real diseases. Just like Post-concussion syndrome, natamaan ulo nila and they would complain of chronic headache. CT-scan, EEG, MRI shows normal findings pero naka-leave pa rin sila kasi unquantifiable din yun e.
Balik tayo: magkano na ba singil sa x-ray at ER consulatation ngayon? Tapos reresetahan pa sya ng pain relievers.
Magkano na yun? Siguro 2k for the hospital expenses? Tapos magmamatigas ka pa rin and you call your lawyer. Sisingil din yun, tapos? Ammicable settlement? Magkano pa kaya?
Sayang din yung isang araw na sinasamahan mo sya sa hospital, dapat nagtatrabaho ka di ba?
Against P500?
I would have given her her P500.
