Dear Alt1268,
I agree with Sandy you do need another lawyer. I cannot believe an officer of the court would want you to get behind a truck while taking pain medication...He/she is an idiot. Ask him/her if he can write this information down and have it notarized so that if you should do as he suggests then he will be responsible for ANYTHING that could happen. I'll bet you will see him change his mind real quick haha. My best friend's husband is a truck driver for NY so I will ask them tonight what he thinks about that statement. Also, I thought you might want to look up the DMV for DE and find out their thoughts on the matter. You can prob check online for that type of stuff. Still, you do need a lawyer because now you know he does NOT have your best interests at hand. He only wants to settle the case so he can be paid. Watch out for him. Another thing he wants you to drive with your left foot!!!!!!!!!!!! I had initial trauma in my right foot and have not been able to drive because of pain (I can't bend my foot). I pray it would not be a manual tranny otherwise you would run out of feet to drive lol. I'll post when I find out things from my friend for you.
Take care,
kathy d
