I wake up this morning to a loud pounding on the door. My brave husband and my equally brave 21 yr old son
hear it and are peeking out the window downstairs. I think it is my husband who left his keys in the house and accidently locked himself out. (do I know my husband?? haha) I go to the door, in my pj's and open it and there is a man there with a clipboard. He asks me my name and hands me 2 papers. One for me and one for my 20yr old daughter!!!
She was in an accident in Rhode Island in September while going to visit her then boyfriend at college. She gets hit 1 mile from the college by a livery cab driver. He proceeds to push her car all the way through the intersection and up on the diagonal corner on the curb. He went through the light!!!! My niece, who was in the passenger seat immediately saw him and told my daughter that this guy is not stopping. Anyway she is in a little VW Beetle, he is in a Lincoln!!! Her car was crushed. She now is stranded 4hrs away and my husband and I proceed to make the trip to get her and my niece. Thank God no one was hurt, just a bit shaken. The police officer was so nice he drove them to the college. Her car was now up there for 6weeks getting fixed to the tune of $8,000!!! We had to rent a car and everything for her. There were no witnesses so its his word against hers. But I say my niece is a witness!! right?? There was no need for any ambulances at the scene at all. Now today I see he is suing me and my daughter for medical bills, time lost from work, damages to
his car. He wants a jury trial in superior court. I've never ever even been in court ever so I don't know the procedure. My insurance co should have taken care of it. I do know that my insurance co paid for my damage and supposedly his paid for his damage because they couldn't prove any negligence on either part.
Now I'm pissed and shaken up a bit. My husband is calling the insurance co as soon as he gets to work.
