Welcome to the Colorado AR-15 Shooters Club Discussion Forums.
People bullshitting about lawyers never scared me into action when I was a claims adjuster. A drunk driver rear ending someone stopped at a light is a pretty open and closed case.

They had not talked to the other driver ( since he was either still in the hospital or in jail ) I was under 25 at the time .. didn't have a Credit Card, so renting a car was not going to happen. I have no family in colorado, so getting a check cut to replace the " brand new to me " car ( I had it for 3 days when I got hit ) was pretty important and waiting was not an option.
The one at 2:17... holy crap that truck looks like it just exploded!

I was going to mention that many times a company's hands will be some what tied when they can't get a hold of their a-hole driver. Sounds like they knew what was up and just took the chance. If they were going to pay you anyway, they also should have put you into a rental.

Well doing it this way saved them some money anyways........
I bought a new( used) car that very day with cash LOL
My sister in law, was hit last year just before her wedding with my brother. The dumb ass who hit her admitted he knew he was running a red light, but said he figured he could still get through before traffic started. He said this to the cop on scene. The same cop who knew my brother is a cop.
So in the wedding pictures you see her bruises, cast, and sling. The only reason why it isn't settled yet is they are low balling my sis in law, and she doesn't want to get a lawyer involved yet because it's a slam dunk.
That sucks, get your car totaled and be all messed up in your wedding photos, tough break.
Man that was scary to watch

That was so disturbing to watch. As the father of a 15 year old who has visions about his drivers license...he will sit and watch this video.
About 4 years ago Texas A&M was playing CU at Folsom Field. My son's school gave away tickets so we went and enjoyed the game. We decided to walk to the game, we only live about a mile from the field. After the game we were walking home about to cross the intersection of 30th Ave and Baseline Rd in Boulder right across from the dorms. They had recently done road work and had just completed a major change in the intersection, turn lanes, flashing turn signals, etc. We waited until we had the walk signal and proceeded across the intersection. We were headed South across the stree and a car coming from the North decided at the last second to make a right and turn East except we were already in the cross walk. His tires squealed as he turned as hard as he could to make the turn in front of us. I grabbed my son by the back of the shirt and literally pulled him to safety, the car missed us by barely inches. My blood boiled instantly and I yelled (pardon me men and woman who wear the badge) "WHERE'S A FUCKING COP WHEN YOU NEED ONE" Well, I'll tell you where he was, he was watching the intersection from the gas station and immediately took off after this person full lights and siren. The chase was on and he wasn't stopping. He made it about 3/4 mile down the road where the Officer conducted a FELONY stop at gunpoint. Attempted vehicular homicide and failure to stop for a Police Officer were just the 2 first charges. Add resisting arrest, suspected DUI, and to top it all off...a large bag of "unknown white powdery substance". I even got to see the eventual traffic stop as it happened on my block of all places. I contacted the CU Police Department and gave them my name and contact info. I was later contacted by a Corporal who gave me the info and I let them know that I was READY WILLING AND ABLE TO TESTIFY should he try to go to court. About a month later I was contacted again by an ADA who told me matter of factly that had I not come forward he would've plea bargained for a 10th of what he eventually got....which was lots of time to think in a small 7'x9' cell. Hopefully his "cell-friend" thinks he's cute!
Great story!
