While jogging in July, Daniel was accidently struck by a delivery van and injured. After being hospitalized for 3 days, he was released – very bruised but with no permanent impairment. The driver of the van was arrested and ticketed by police for reckless operation of a vehicle and was later prosecuted for drug use. To avoid any adverse publicity of a lawsuit, the owner of the delivery service paid Daniel’s medical expenses of $5,000 directly to the hospital and sent him a $50,000 check on September 1, 2017. The check stated that “$50,000 is a settlement in full for physical injuries sustained.” Daniel accepted the settlement and cashed the check. He incurred no legal expenses relating to this settlement.
