Its Gone!!! hit by a DUI

[iliveintn]

wow that sucks something awful. It's a shame the lengths you are having to go to get any money out of it. At least he didn't hang just a little more left or things could be really bad for you.


PS - that gun kinda looks like a pellet gun to me, it looks like it has one of the twist things at the bottom of the grip to reload Co2. It may just be the picture though

Spinning wheelies in a gigantic van? He must have a rear mounted 454 or something.

I have a great idea, a wonderfully great idea (sorry, watched the "Grinch Who Stole Christmas with my nephew earlier)

get us the e-mail of the man who signs the check, we all send him an e-mail with a picture of our Burb and how much it is work, after a couple of thousand e-mails he'll be more than happy to pay you off.

we'll make him an offer he can't refuse

[watahyahknow]

if only there was a way to make the drunk driver pay for all the damage .
in a way he made more than one life misserable youres and the cop who i guess just didnt wanted to become the hardnose cop we all know and hate , he may thank god on his knees he didnt kill anyone .

That is a great idea. I agree.

[19723DR]

Sorry about your burb. I hope everything works out.

[Big Block]

I just saw your post and I could not believe it. My old Suburban totaled!!!! I feel your pain. I always regretted selling it. I'm sorry for your loss.

[Longhorn Man]

update?

[mvpco]

Update:

The PPD have suspended the officer for 3 weeks no pay, I am waiting on the Risk Mgt Dept. from the City to send over their INS Rep for payment.

If that does not work the way I believe it should. I will ask to see the Dash Cam Video from the PO car the night he was cited for Careless Driving. Alittle birdie told me there is some interesting stuff on the tape. I will use that if need be.

Stay Tuned.........


Thanks!!

[Bishops Trucks]

Sounds like it is getting very interesting.

[Longhorn Man]

good to hear!!!!!

[old Rusty C10]

you wont get anywhere better get a lawyer to line up for that dash cam video or it will be right next to those ones from the detainees in Gitmo..its amazing how the government can lose things when it benefits them to lose it

make sure you have collision coverage

Make sure you have Rental coverage
AND MAKE SURE YOU HAVE FULL REPLACEMENT OR AGREED VALUE COVERAGE!

The Uninsured Motorist coverage is only if YOU GET HURT!
LAWYERS only will help if YOU GET HURT

on your home owners INS,:
MAKE SURE YOU HAVE REPLACEMENT COVERAGE on stuff like: Fence, sheds,

Remember you will have to pay the $5oo deductables right off the bat first, (Homeowners and Auto, etc)
so have about $2000 setting in a savings account some where that you can get to quick!!!

sooo, if you wake up in the early morning to a crash in your yard:
make sure you get hurt running out to see what the hell happened......DOH!

The 1st questions the INS. & Lawyers ask when you call for help is: Was anybody hurt???

Now I know why.

Well i know i am going to call and make sure i am covered now. Thank you for your inputs please if you have any others let me know! I have been with USAA for nearly 10 years now and i really dont want to switch.

Thanks

I just talked to the City of Pensacola Ins Rep "Dawn
Vickery 800-767-9480 Ext 1410(She is here in
Pensacola)
She stated that they will not be able to offer any
coverage because the City of Pensacola Police Dept
and Risk Management Dept(Tom Mulroy 435-1613) have not
admitted responsibility and I would have to go after
Mr. Thomas Fletcher in a civil suit to recover damages
even though Officer Jonathan Cramer was Suspended for
3 weeks without pay. There is a Dash Cam Video of the
Citation Officer Cramer issued 11/24/07 at 2:24am in
front of Cabana's Lounge on 9th Ave. the video has
some very interesting things. I need to get a copy. he
was cited for Careless Driving and 16 minutes later
crashed into my fence and 3 cars. He was almost 3
times the legal limit .21

[64GMCHorsepower]

Dude, that sucks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So do we need to all make calls to express how we feel to the people listed above????

I'd be happy to help out in any way possible.....

[old Rusty C10]

hmm i coulda sworn i predicted this very thing.... better get a lawyer the city is going to use their "you cant touch us" attitude to try to screw you

[ksjh1316]

Sue them all get the tape file a $1,000,000 suit against the city for negligence and the problems you are haveing adjusting to living life and the perpetual cost of a shrink due to your fears of a drunk guy in a van with a gun driving into your yard and house and doing you and your family bodily harm.

I may be over the top but get the tape and go for blood

He's right, better get a lawyer. I read this and had hopes of this coming to a good ending..... It seams that's not going to happen, SUE THE CRAP OUT OF EVERYBODY INVOLVED! That just my humble opinion. David

[LUV2XCLR8]

I'm not normally an advocate of this but ...........................

SUE !!!

[mvpco]

On TV and their Website is an update about the Officer, I will post the Video when I find it

I knw that this might seem silly to say, I know that most lawyers won't want the case because there is no instant cash for them. But maybe one of the universities in the area have a law program and may be a good resource as to where to go and what you can do to move this along to a reasonable end. I know that my girlfriends son did just this when he got into some trouble.

It gives the students real life experience and they actually bust their butt's digging and scrounging and some super great information. It's just a thought. Definately get the News media on your side.... it's your biggest asset. Especially now that they said they are not going to pay... put the monkey on their back. Use the public to pressure them....

Remember it's not an "us and them" it's "you against them" get the people that pay their salary's on your side...

Good luck....

What happened with regards to repairs on the other 2 vehicles? If the insurance company has authorized repairs on them, you can bet your bottom dollar they are going to try and subrogate their claim against the kid and the cop/city. Seeing as you still have unrecovered damages, you do need to make sure that USAA doesn't settle with anyone in any fashion that might impair your future rights of recovery for the suburban damages.

The Ins has repaired the 2004 Hyundai(sp) wife's car. I picked it up yesterday had to pay $500 ded. The 1998 GMC truck, I have to pay, I just got the estimate it is $3274.84 I have to pay it. INS wont, only had it on my policy for Libility....Doh! the Fence is $834, minus my $500 deduct.
So so far I am out $4274.84 not counting the Burb......and several days of work........... my In-laws said they will help with $$$. so I should be able to recoup in a few years.

[LUV2XCLR8]

Man that sucks, I hope you get that $ back

[robin58]

You'd think (hope?) that somewhere on some forum (if not here) there was a truck enthusiast member who was an attorney and would be willing to help you out.
