Re: How the hell do I fix this situation?

Late to the thread, but I'm sorry about your pain/car situation. I think that you need to explore what exactly about the seats is bothering you. I'm short and so if the front of the seat doesn't tip down low enough, I either have to be 5 inches from the wheel or my calves strain to depress the pedals - and I don't have any chronic/injury pain issues. Pinpointing what exactly would solve your pain problem would possibly make a modification easier, like a cushion or some other fix.

All that said, accidents are called accidents for a reason. Yes, she might have been doing something supremely stupid, but unless it was intentional, this is the reason that insurance exists. Everyone makes mistakes. Is she truly a horrible person? (I've genuinely heard people who have *killed* people while driving say they didn't care about the life they took, so I can imagine this for a less serious accident.) Or is it her insurance and the whole situation that's horrible? I'm not trying to be harsh, but I think it's good to focus negative feelings on the true culprit and not red herrings.

I'm not sure what consequences you wanted her to suffer. A ticket? That's pretty much all that can happen to someone who causes an accident, unless she had been drunk (or possibly if you had been killed/very badly injured, depending on your local laws). I can assure you that she IS suffering consequences through her insurance though, if that makes you feel better. Her premiums will undoubtedly increase, she will possibly be dropped entirely from her insurance, and every insurer will see this accident in her past going forward. And some jobs could be possibly closed to her (commercial driver or anything involving transporting children usually require a clean driving record). While she is not paying for everything herself, you probably wouldn't want that to happen in reality - an insurance company has far deeper pockets, after all.

Again, I don't mean to be mean. I think that it's normal to go through a sort of grief-like process when you suffer through something like this. As someone who has gone through similar situations (and barely survived emotionally) and seen even more people go through it with varied results, my only advice can be let yourself go through that process without becoming mired in it. Your frustration and anger are understandable and valid, and your physical pain is compounding everything. You need to let yourself heal on several levels and take that time.
