I think we may have some resolution on the horizon early next week with our insurance company - although the irony is that his insurance company would now have to pay that plus the $1000 deductible - why not have just offered me something fair to start with and save themselves the $1000? Makes.No.Sense.<BR/><BR/>Ah well......schmidt happens.Holyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04125511831814948464noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15797136.post-25460272102854586432008-07-31T23:21:00.000-07:002008-07-31T23:21:00.000-07:00Wow - that is such a sad story.

Because I'd imagine that like most of us, you're not at all interested in the hassle or the ethical/moral implications of litigation which can seem awfully extreme and even frivolous. But still - it seems sometimes like corporate bad behavior can drive the average person to that extreme! Ugh.<BR/><BR/>I'm sorry you're having to deal with this, what a pain.<BR/><BR/>I'd be tempted to respond to your insurance adjuster, "No one sets out to deliberately defraud a paying customer either..." but escalation is usually a really bad tactic. };><BR/><BR/>I wish you the best!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15797136.post-20309393632055902008-07-30T13:45:00.000-07:002008-07-30T13:45:00.000-07:00Nat: Well I wish I had a lawyer friend.And I see w...Nat: Well I wish I had a lawyer friend.<BR/><BR/>And I see why some people do all possible screw the sytem - the 18 year old kid that hit me walks away, scratch and virtually dent free - his insurance rates go up, sure, but mom and pop are footing his bill. And they're not out thousands of dollars with having to buy a new vehicle.<BR/><BR/>To which the snotty nosed insurance rep retorts in her Mithith Hawiggenth voice to me, "Ma'am? Ma'am? Lithen to me, I'm talking here. No one thettth out to deliberately cauthe an accthident." As though she's possessor of the goodgoddamn biggest secret to the universe.<BR/><BR/>OK, deep breath. That's the entire problem with systems that designates victims and perps - I don't want to play victim, thank you very much. Been there, done that, writing the book. I simply wish to get out with a fair and equitable disbursement and with my integrity intact. But the system seems to fairly beg that you check your integrity at the door. <BR/><BR/>Ah well, chock it up to yet another schmidt happening.Holyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04125511831814948464noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15797136.post-90120843577829596242008-07-30T13:06:00.000-07:002008-07-30T13:06:00.000-07:00Hmmm...

Or not. They do have an incredible way of making personal injury totally... um... personal and debilitating and cost effective.<BR/><BR/>Sucks the way this world goes 'round.<BR/><BR/>When my car was stolen and then wrecked, my insurance co. tried to give me half of what I thought it was worth. Long (and boring, no doubt) story short... I had a lawyer friend of mine simply draft a letter. That did the trick!<BR/>Suddenly, my vehicle had actual value!<BR/>I dunno... it seemed somewhat dishonest but I could justify it 'cause I was dealing with a freakin' insurance company that had been making money off of me, for YEARS, and I'd never cost them one red cent.<BR/><BR/>Bastardos!<BR/>/rant.<BR/><BR/>Whew.<BR/>Good luck with that!NBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08693376789638443376noreply@blogger.com
