Safety Message: Red Light Runners

[clublights]

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.

True it is .. but the company was trying to stall ...
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.

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.
