OP here, It is not about the money, it is about, a sense of fair play. Why does someone get to violate the law, cause injury and monetary harm to another party and then just skate.
Another poster a few pages back, commented folks without insurance may not be deadbeats, but have fallen on hard times. I get that, and am sympathetic to a point.
So will this gal, who hit my DD, take any responsibility nope. Not her fault you know, she needed that big screen TV, and that trip to Vegas. All much more important that paying that pesky insurance bill, and thinking about others.
That is my beef and opinion,
While I'm not condoning driving without insurance. $500.00 is not a lot of money in today's world.
If your daughter was involved in an automobile accident and the worst of it was a $500.00 bill consider yourself lucky.
The outcome could have been much worse.
Since it's not about the money would you have posted your story if the bill were $100.00?
You say it is about fair play? One concept I try to instill in my kids is that life is not always fair.
The definition of fair of is sort of like beauty, It is in the eye of the beholder.
Where we draw the fair line can be very questionable at times.
In the end be grateful your DD was not hurt.
Money can be earned and easily replaced,organs and body parts are often not replaceable.
While you feel your daughter was treated unfairly consider there are lots of people permanently in rehab hospitals,clinics and wheel chairs that were not as fortunate as your daughter.
