A defense attorney from my insurance agency just called and informed me of the probability that there could arrive the time that I would have to, indeed, travel to Nashville and testify in this court case. My insurance company is saying that no, I had no fault in the accident caused by the "phantom" vehicle, that which ran us off the road and fled the scene as we spun out, flipped and crashed. Theirs is saying that no, it was fault of my over-correction or something and that I am liable for their damages.
So that's where we are. I told her that not only should my perfect driving record, with no infractions whatsoever, help speak for itself and that nobody else behind me but her vehicle went out--why is that?--but that I have also suffered so deeply emotionally from this accident, finally put to rest the post-traumatic stress, for the most part, of getting back behind the wheel of the car, and even had to seek out counseling to get through the depression this accident pushed me into, and that I would really on principle like to fight it but that I just don't know if I can, emotionally, go through it all again. She said that the meeting of the defense attorneys will put that into consideration when deciding if they will change their decision to say "yes, we will pay" when right now they are saying "no, because she (me) was not at fault."
So now I'm totally stressed out about that. I know, I can't be, but you do not know the nightmare that accident was in my life and the dark, dark place it pushed me into.
Too much right now. I need to stop trembling. I don't have nerves for this.
Must go back outside and let Inti cure me with His healing rays.

oh man, that would stress me out. I really think the PIP system was so much better. Now we have to find people to sue.
ResponderEliminarwhat a bunch of .....
I'm tired and just want it to all go away now. I had another call from the actual defense attorney in Tennessee who is going to court for me, assured me that I am completely covered even if we weren't to win this case but that, on principle, they don't want to pay out because I was not at fault.
ResponderEliminarAnd I don't want to have to go to back to Tennessee all by myself.
I'm just tired.
Mapi,
ResponderEliminarDon't worry about it..
Besides, if you need me to suit up and introduce them to the american alligator down here in "Oye" land, just let me know.
For you, It's gratis.
Ah, Windy...
ResponderEliminarI think I am just feeling so incredibly fragile right now that with just the most minimal push I might shatter and I don't want that. It's a scary feeling.
I do just want it all to go away...but I like the idea of sending them off to the gators! Have to take you up on that one.
I hope you are having a wonderful day off, accomplishing things and relaxing.
Be well, Windrider...
This kind of thing makes the litigators rich. A lot will be agreed upon behind the scenes. I know you're stressed, but try not to be...you are insured and have nothing to worry over. An ad may go out in the local papers searching for a witness that saw the phantom vehicle. Worse case scenario...even if the judgment is against you...you are still insured. However I know it will make you furious to be falsely accused of causing the accident. Try not to worry so much and let the people who do this all the time do their stuff. ~ And this, too, shall pass ~ Be calm.
