Wife was sitting at a red light this morning last one in line

Nov 29, 2023, 10:41 AM

dude behind her wasn't paying attention and hit her at about 40 mph.

She's fine, but sore. Her car took the hit pretty well, but his was trashed. Pushed her into the car in front of her too, so the Tahoe has major rear damage and minor front damage.

UGH

I told her she definitely needs to go get checked out.

She is already sore and her head flew forward and almost hit the steering wheel. She's going to be hurting tomorrow.

Keep records of any hospital bills, and demand treble damages for them

in your settlement. Or give Ford a call. If I suspected phone use, I would go scorched earth.

I'd sue the ever loving #### out of that aasshole

if I had my kids in my car, I'd be tempted to go chesty puller on his ### in broad daylight.

lawyer up now, go to doc too

Chesty Puller got his ### beat in his own house

Causing his chicken to get burned.

Don’t be Chesty. Be his former roommate.

I'm hoping they just total out that POS

Nov 29, 2023, 10:53 AM

and she gets something else.

Cool thing is we just paid $1800 a month ago for a new steering system...

tnet-military.jpg flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up


Ugh. Depending on the adverse driver's policy/insurance company

2

Nov 29, 2023, 10:59 AM

it's 65% to 70% ACV for them to total it. This is where it helps to have a body shop where you know the owner ;)

My Camry I totaled in 2006 was sitting right at 55% ACV based on the insurance company's estimates. Body shop then noticed the car would not go into gear when they tried to move it. Tranny issue, bewm. Totaled ;)

Hope your wife remains ok. Sometimes it takes a couple of days to really feel the problems from a wreck. Just keep an eye on her. I ended up asking for a new car from my wreck. The totaled value 70% check plus a settlement for pain and suffering which brought me right up to a brand new car with upgrades. Bruised sternum sux bad.

MauldinT, where are you???


My experience is don't go to the billboard ambulance chasers - like Morgan

4

Nov 29, 2023, 11:11 AM

& Morgan.

They will usually only go after the amount the dude was insured for - makes it quick for them and churns the funds.


Find someone smaller that will push beyond the insurance limits . . . . like replace her car in full, pay for all down time, inconvenience, etc.


I got hit and went with a billboard dude - never been involved in anything lawerly before - they said the person was insured for $25K - they fixed my car, paid for some Dr's visits, and took a big chunk but wouldn't push past the $25K . . . . and it was a mess.



Sucks dude - lots of T&P's . . . .

Nov 29, 2023, 2:00 PM

my lawyer also made MY insurance pay through the underinsured coverage

their insurance paid $25K, then mine kicked in another $50K

Re: My experience is don't go to the billboard ambulance chasers - like Morgan


Nov 29, 2023, 2:48 PM

Billboarders are often volume practices. They’ll recommend you to a chiropractor who will give you like 12 sessions of massaging and shock and hot/cold stuff. This will get your medical expenses up to around 10-15k. Then they’ll demand 3x meds to settle any lawsuit. Medical records do raise settlement value, given they’re not stupid. 10-15k is a sweet spot where it’s too expensive for the opposing insurance compan to hire an expert to invalidate billing/treatment necessity. Plus at some point it’s cheaper to settle than pay defense attorneys.

Someone with an insurance bad faith practice area will probably jerk around the insurance company a little better, depending on how they handle your claims. Bad faith is where the huge verdicts are these days. And insurance adjusters/litigators are very aware of those allegations.

hopefully y'all won't be responsible for car in front of you

I know crazy, but heard of that happening?

We asked about that. The cop said that in this case he could see that she

Nov 29, 2023, 11:18 AM

had plenty of room between and was pushed into the car because of the force so said it shouldn't be an issue.

That was one of the first things we asked because of stupid rear-ending rules.

Agree with a thorough medical exam and getting a lawyer to at least see what your options may be.

I suspect the dude was on his phone based on the nature of the crash. I’m not sure if the driver can have his phone records subpoenaed based on a mere suspicion, but that’s worth addressing??

A Deadly Wandering should be read by everyone who texts while driving or is yakking on the phone while driving. It’s quite sobering to see the Neuroscience dispel the notion of multitasking.

Hope your wife does well and glad it wasn’t worse.

2025 orange level memberbadge-donor-05yr.jpg flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

So glad to hear she is ok.

She can have pain that starts days or weeks from now.

Slow play accepting any insurance settlement other than for the car itself.
