Uninsured driver vent

[skysprite 0]

I didn't need this today or any other day!

On my way to work this morning I was cut off while a driver made an illegal U-turn right in front of me (and the lane next to me), then was sideswiped and hit by the guy as he merged into my lane, via me. Immediately afterwards, this other driver drove off the scene. About ten minutes later he came back and cooperated with filing the report, and I got his insurance information and I took down information off his driver's license.

I called his insurance claim number and found out that he's in fact not insured, and that there was no policy in force on that vehicle!

Grrrrr. My insurance is going to fix my car for me, but I do have to pay a deductible of course. Going to have to rob Peter to pay Paul and do a little tap dance to make this all work.

The good news is that while this was all happening, I got a call for a phone interview for a new job! Please think positive thoughts for me that I get the job, and that this whole mess gets resolved as quickly and painlessly as possible!

I'm going to go turn my phone off, take a hot shower, and go to bed now.

Do not believe that possibly you can escape the reward of your action.

Make sure your policy for sure doesn't cover uninsured/underinsured. If it does no deductible or other costs to you.

They might just be trying to hose you and make it an "at-fault" accident to get the deductible and raise your rates.

Glad you're okay and congrats on the interview.

Last week someone hit my wifes car sitting right in front of the house.
Insurance is making us pay the deductible. At least you have a story.
The sad part is the car has less than 9k miles on it, 2007 Model.

If it makes you feel any better, in los angeles, they will no longer impount the vehicles if the driver is driving with no insurance or liscense. they are let go, free, no ticket, no nuthin!

I'm going to say good luck to both you getting your car fixed and for the interview!
My 2007 Honda Civic had less than 3500 miles on it when some asshat sideswiped it and drove off. My insurance company SAID they would pay for it after I paid my deductible. The collision center called me when the car was ready and told me that they were having "issues" getting payment from USAA. FINALLY, after about 15 phone calls and me bitching for endless hours, they paid for my vehicle, and I was able to pick it up a week and a half later (it was finished, but they wouldn't release it without payment). So, good luck with that, and hopefully, you don't have USAA. Oh, and another thing... If your insurance company has "preferred shops" they want you to use, take it to where YOU want it fixed, NOT them.

You wanna talk about the "uninsured"? Here in San diego we have our southern neighbors to worry about. It's hard to chase down a hit and runner when they can flee to Meheeeko!!! It's bad enough they use the Interstate 5 as their personal bedroom furniture dump.

Add "dangerous" and you're describing the lady herself

I am not the man. But the man knows my name...and he's worried

Don't forget easily amused also. BTW, did you know that she can scarf a McDonald's garden salad in mere seconds using only a pair of tweezers?

You 2 are funny. Ralffers has had the 'displeasure' of meeting me a few weeks ago. That boy just doesn't know what he's in for yet.

Basically confirm if she is being treated fairly or if they are trying to screw her out of coverage she paid for.
