I got rear-ended and the guy who did it admits fault. I have a pre-existing neck problem and there’s this thing called the eggshell clause or something like that–where if someone hurts you when you are fragile, they are responsible for all of your care thereafter. my question is– what is a reasonable settlement here do you think? i think it will be a problem for a long time. i’m not a litigious person and it’s wierd, this whole thing. but what is a reasonable settlement? does anyone know? should i get a lawyer?

I’m researching the Nativ American tribes of the Charleston area prior to European settlement, going back as far as the data will allow me. I’m utlizing other resources, but thought I would put out feelers here to find anyone who may have knowledge of this subject, or specific resource suggestions.
Prefer serious replies only, I thank you for your feedback.
I was reading about HP’s .5 million settlement today and it got me curious.
When a company loses a case or settles, is this money coming from pre-tax revenue (and hence, would be a tax deductible cost)? Or is it coming from post-tax profit?
Do any of the following factors affect the answer?
- It’s a settlement vs loss/guilty?
- Paid to the government (as a fine) vs paid to another company/individual?
- Punitive damages vs compensatory damages.
A related question I have is, for example, whether a traffic ticket given to a driver working for a company at the time of the ticket is a "cost" that can be written off by the company?

A few images of the very beautiful Castle Hot Springs Resort found in the middle of the desert like an oasis. Castle Hot Springs enjoys a rich and lengthy history reaching back to the pre-settlement Apaches who gave healing powers to the hot, clear water that poured out from the canyon rock. Castle Hot Springs also served as the first territorial capital of Arizona as well as a retreat for many wealthy businessmen, politicians, and even presidents of the United States. During its time as the territorial winter capital of the Arizona Territory, Castle Hot Springs was both the residence of the Territorial Governor and a local jail. Castle Hot Springs attracted many of America’s wealthiest and most well-known families, including the Rockefellers, Carnegies, Cabots, and the Wrigleys. United States Presidents; including Theodore Roosevelt, Warren Harding, Woodrow Wilson, and Herbert Hoover also stayed there. John F. Kennedy actually spent three months at the resort in 1945, when he was recovering from wounds received during World War II as a Naval officer. The actor, Clark Gable and actress, Carole Lombard also spent their honeymoon at the resort. The author, Zane Grey also stayed there.
