Alison receives a call from her sister, Diane, telling her that her older brother, Mark, is in hospital with appendicitis. In shock, Alison rushes to her car and races off to the hospital. Although she drives at the speed limit, distracted by the worry, she fails to indicate that she is turning left and is struck by a car behind. The police report finds that the accident was not her fault, despite her failure to signal. Alison's back is jolted violently in the accident and she suffers severe pain which will take four weeks to heal, according to medical reports.

Alison's brother, Mark, has his appendix removed and is on the road to recovery. However, Alison is forced to miss her trip on a two-week luxury cruise and becomes exceedingly depressed when she turns on her hospital TV to see the ship set sail. She calls you, her solicitor, stating she wants every cent back plus an additional $10,000 for her distress.
