Lets Say....

(This happened to my brother)

Lets say you were driving home one night and you maybe fell asleep at the wheel. And lets say you hit a traffic light pole head on.

Your car is totalled.




You sheared the light pole off the ground completely disconnecting it from the ground, even.
You hit so hard that your tire even completely fell of the car and the other side if flat.
Now lets say that the airbag did not deploy. And your face smashed into the steering wheel so hard it smashed out your teeth. Over $5000 worth of dental work worth of smashing.
Now lets say within two weeks your car company sends you a recall notice on defective air bags.
If an airbag had gone off in the head on collision you would not have smashed your teeth out.
Now lets say your car was a GM model. They would tell you it is inconclusive on whether or not the air bag should have gone off and they will not take care of you.
Lawyers are not taking the case because you only want to repair your broken teeth and that isn't enough money for lawyers to bother with. That is pretty piddly compared to what could happen with a lawsuit about a defective airbag not deploying, isn't it?
Why won't State Farm take care of his teeth? He had full coverage insurance. They covered the cost of the loan when the car was totalled. Well, he was possibly knocked out, he does not remember what happened, and he was rather out of it and did not go to the hospital. The police report has pictures of him. They can prove he was injured in the accident. Why are these two companies not taking care of their responsibilities?

You'd think the case would be a lawyers dream, I wonder that the backstory is...
Happy WW!

Stupid lawyers. Stupid Car Companies. Stupid Insurance companies.

Maybe you should just go give them a piece of your mind. Take all your kids with you, and all those accident pictures, and tell them,
"Do I look like someone who can afford this!! What is insurance for, anyway!?" =)

Oh no. That is awful. I am sure you can get it taken care of it just may take a lot of paper work and time.

Prayers for you.
