BAd driver

Last time my RV was hit, the driver that hit me had no insurance! Made things very easy for me! My insurance company took care of everything!

Drunk got off in the county it happened in..Was arrested in Tarrant county and was deported AGAIN !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The driver will more than likely pay nothing,being in country illegally and all that..The owner on the other hand is another story. A well known local family...I just want ALL my stuff replaced..Already cost $1500 to replace pickup.

Glad to hear your injuries are minor. Assume you were belted.

As for the Drunk Driver... I am of the opinion that driving under the influence is a "reckless Driving" practice, as the driver who dies that does recklessly endanger the health and property of everyone on or beside the road he travels.

As you prove in fact.

And for that he should PAY!!!! and I mean PAY (I'd like to see two commas in the price tag myself).

Just a thought, back a couple of pages ago someone mentioned being hit by a kid with no insurance and living with his parents. Here in Florida (and I believe other States) if you have an Un-Married Child under the age of 26 (IIRC) you can be held responsible for damages done by that child. Usually your Homeowners Insurance would kick in but this is something that everyone should be aware of.

This situation happened to a friend. There 24 year un-married old son was living with them and got into a Bar Fight. They were sued and were found responsible for the damages.

Happened to me, son 17 serious accident with major injuries to passenger in other car.I was sued for $50,000.

I was was lucky the car was in his name and he had his own insurance if he had been on my insurance or if it was considered a "family" vehicle I would have been responsible. The accident was the other drivers fault but that didn't stop them from suing me. Since it was decided this was not a family vehicle the suite had no merit.

We had a unlicensed and uninsured motorist hit our coach in Arizona. Are insurance company Geico was right on it payed all of our bills, then Geico tried to get money out of the guy via a collection agency to no avail! So Geico had to write the accident off. Don't know what happened in court to this guy? It's a felony to drive in AZ. without insurance. Good Luck to you, glad you two survived and sorry about your pet to me that's like losing one of your kids!

Most ---- insurance companies try to have a damage claim settled in 30 days , but , they also need a police report on file and police departments can take up to 2 weeks to provide that. They also need an appraisers report for your vehicle and many times use a 3rd party company. They need financial information from your lender if there is a loan or it was a lease. Have to called to ask what the holdup is? Don't be afraid to ask what's taking so long.

Got a 2015 Toyota Tacoma,had a 2013 toyota Tacoma..At least Sheriff Office emailed police report..We will see how other insurance pays off before we decide to go after them for other losses..

2012, at the rally in Goshen, Indiana we had our toad hit a service station, right rear. Damaged wheel and fender and quarter panel or really the whole rear quarter from windshield back. Called State Farm and they called a Ford Dealer for us. The Ford Dealer got us a rental and got started on the Edge right away. The guy that hit us had his brakes fail and came upon the sidewalk and on down the rampt to the station. Nod DLand no insurance. The car's Owner did. Subregated to Ford and they handled everything. Had to go get Sheriff's report since the idiot would not give it to us. Said we were ugly to him. Got everything taken care of in a week, including the extra space rent for our Mh. We could have had a motel room also. Only thing is we did not go after the other Car's Owner for loss of value, until we were ready to sell the car. Problem there our Dealer didn't want to put on paper the loss, of value, In our state no such allowance available, tn. There is in Indiana though. Their fault but we lost about 5,000.00. Won't let that happen again. Can't think of the Dealer's name or I would give him a plug. He did a great job and took the time. Met his family. Really sweet shy little girl. That's the way it is in small town America. We also got loss of vacation time. Believe me my wife made big bucks.
