Well if you remember my accident. I got hit by a drunk driver who ran a red light while I was making a left turn. The insurance company put me at fault and refused to give me money but, my lawyer said that I should be getting money because the other guy had beer in his car and he fled the scene of the accident. The vehicle was reported stolen at 10 P.M that night, the accident happened at 4:12 P.M.
Since no one knew who the driver of the vehicle was my lawyer told me to file a small claim against the owner of the vehicle and I did. The KBB of a 93' s13 SE is 2,700 and with all the receipts of the repairs done to my car it is a total of 5,585 law suit. I recently found out that the owner of the vehicle is mentally handicapped.
I filed it and my court date is on April 7th. I JUST received in the mail a letter from the famous tv show, The Peoples Court. They are asking if I would rather be put on that show instead of going to a small claims court because they are more beneficial to me.
I don't know what I should do. Should I go on tv or just go to the small claims court? I talked to my girlfriend and she said that the judge is an ass and she has to be an ass to get ratings. Now my thinking is, I'm suing a legally retarded guy for 5,500 and I'm 18 years old driving a sports car. She's going to attack me?

Uhh... Since when was a fifteen year old economy car for women a sports car?
The owner of the other car can't be too retarded to own and maintain a license.
Is it your problem his car was stolen? No. Is it your problem he is retarded? No.
But why did the insurance company put you at fault?

They asked me to do something similar with my claim against a car shop. They were going to fly us out to Texas and all this stuff and guaranteed payment within 14 days of the judgement or something. I said no, it's not worth the hassle.

They put me at fault because the police report said that I failed to yield the right of way. This is what happened at the time of the accident:
I entered the intersection on a green light waiting to make a left turn. I saw that the oncoming traffic had stopped and I realized that the light turned red so I proceeded to go, otherwise I would be in the middle of the intersection. The driver ran the red light and hit me. He ran away leaving his car and he reeked of beer. There was a 24 pack of beer in his passenger seat and open beer cans (This is in the police report.)
The police report states:
MV#1 was w/b on fulton ave attempting to make a left turn onto peninsula blvd s/w/b. mv#2 was e/b on fulton ave. mv#1 failed to yield right of way to mv#2 and came into collision with mv#2. mv#2 operator a lg white male with a beard and gray hair fleed the scene e/b on fulton. numerous open beer cans and odor of beer in mv.
I'm MV#1.
---------
I'm really thinking of doing it. Solely on the basis of it's a once in a lifetime opportunity and I just saw it on t.v and the judge looks nice. I know that it's a stupid reason but I'll wait till my dad gets home. If the date they give me screws with my school work or anything else thats troublesome I won't do it. I know it's a very stupid reason but... I'm confused :-( :cry:

Yeah, that was one of the benefits. I'll write down word for word what the letter said about the benefits:
Should both parties agree to have their cases arbitrated by our Judge, the benefits to the plaintiff include the following:
(1) Should Judge Milian rule in your favor, The People's Court guarantees your settlement. ( In regular small claims court, it can be very difficult to collect your payments.)
(2) Should Judge Milian rule against you, The People's Court will pay you $250. (In regular small claims court, you would not win anything.)
(3) The decision of the Judge is legal and binding (meaning you will not have to take the defendant back to court on this issue ever again.)
(4) We will set up a specific court date and time. This avoids the normal waiting time involved in small claims litigation.

Heres the cost of everything:
KBB Value $2650
Towing Fee $ 250
Brake change $ 431

If the car is fixed I think she will only award the amount in repairs
BUT!! I think she will only hold the owner responsible if it is the Owners fault for having the car stolen
EX: Owner Left keys in ignition.
If the car was hot wired the owner could not have done anything to prevent it, unless the owner played a part in allowing the car to be stolen
Therefore not the owners fault,
Basically you'd be sueing the owner for living and owning the car.
but if you were to find the fucktard that stole the car and hit you you could get every penny form it
IM NOT A LAWYER, SO DONT JUST LISTEN TO ME TALK TO AN ACTUAL LAWYER, THIS IS JUST WHAT I'VE SEEN ON THE PPL COURT EVERY TIME. lol

That's going to be weird calling the officer. I'm sending in a complaint letter to the lieutenant. Even the other owners insurance company questioned the officer. After they obtained my claim they were like, so after this guy ran away and left beer in his car, the cop put you at fault? You're better off suing the owner like your lawyer said because we're not going to give you anything due to the police report. Not word for word but that's basically what he said. Anyhow, I'm calling The People's Court today! After I finish writing this complaint letter.

I have a question. DO you have the car still? What do you mean by "total"?
If you still have the car and fixed it, you can only sue for the amount for repair. If the car is deem a total loss by insurance, get it in writing. Then you will get KBB for it. Also the repair you listed, was this before or after the insurance? I know you are 18, but it would be easier if there was more detail, that is how the decision are made.
There a couple of scenario that can play out. If you did some suspension/brake upgrade before the accident you may not get reimburse as it would been maintainence. If it was suspension and brake modification and not legal (DOT, against the law such as too low) you might get fine and the car was actually illegal on the road. If all this was done before the accident, you get nothing but KBB.
If these repair was done after the accident to get it back on the road. You get repair $$.
Also add in pain and injury - Show medical bills.
Other than that good luck. Also I am no lawyer, but I do study tax law and work at a law firm. It pretty much the same concept how to apply stuff.

The repairs were done before the accident and they were OEM repairs. Nothing after market at all. It is deemed total loss by insurance and by 2 body shops I had the car looked at by. The frame is bent. I have a letter from insurance telling me that the car is a total loss, good thing that I didn't throw those out. I still do have the car.
trsilvias13
03-28-2008, 11:41 AM
Then it sounds like you are going to get KBB if you do win, not cost of repair. Because if you didnt do the repair, you KBB would been lower and you would have gotten a lower value, but the repair you did brought it back up to a higher KBB value.
You can try to argue the point and see what happens. Good luck. I would go there. Think of it as you get $250 regardless for a day. YOu are out as of now, and regardless you would be coming up $250. If you went into "real" court, you would still have to face a judge, have an assessement, have a verdict that is binding. The only difference is you would be on TV and probably wait less.

To Lieutenant:
Over a month ago on February 7th, 2008 at 4:12 P.M I got into a vehicular accident, accident # 212. What happened throughout the accident went as the following: I entered the intersection at a green light waiting to make a left turn onto Peninsula Boulevard from Fulton Avenue. The traffic on the oncoming side came to a stop and that is when I realized that the light turned red. I proceeded to make the left turn being that I was in the middle of the intersection. That is when the other driver ran the red light and hit my car. When we got out he smelled of beer and ran away on foot leaving his car at the scene. In the passenger seat of the other vehicle was a case of beer and a couple of open beer cans. His car also smelled of beer.
I dialed 911 and that is when they sent officer Murphy. He took notice to the smell and location of beer in the passenger seat immediately when he came to the scene. Murphy asked me what happened and I told him the story that I told you above. He insisted that I ran the light and that’s why the accident happened. Officer Murphy and the other officer, who I do not know the name of, located the other driver in Burger King which was a few stores down. They told me to wait while they get him. As they were saying that the other driver ran away, yet again. Murphy told me to wait in the parking lot and I did, for an hour and thirty minutes. He didn’t show up. I went to the police station and asked for the police report and I got it. That’s where I noticed a couple errors.
On the police report it said that my point of impact and location of where most damaged was received was 12, which is the driver side fender. As you can see in the pictures attached, my driver side fender was not touched. My passenger side fender was the point of impact and that is where the most damage was received. How can I come into collision with another driver if it was my side that got hit? I called my lawyer and he told me that when you enter an intersection on a green light you can leave on a green, yellow or red. I drove back to the police station the same day as the accident and I told him what I felt was incorrect with the report. I then asked if he can amend the report. He refused telling me that everything he wrote down was correct then insisted that I wasn’t in the middle of the intersection. He followed that statement by saying, even if you were in the middle of the intersection, how can you tell that the light was red if it’s above you? I told him there’s a light on the corner and he called me a liar. Yes, a liar. I felt insulted. I took a picture of the corner light and it’s attached to show you that I am indeed no liar. My insurance company told me that an investigation was not done on the accident. I do not understand why. My lawyer and I feel that I have a strong case. I feel that officer Murphy did not do his job on this case and beared prejudice towards me because I am 18. I would greatly appreciate it if you had a talk with him.
That's my letter to the lieutenant, what do you think?

03-28-2008, 02:44 PM
it sounds like you're doing the right things. Did you get a gander at the driver as he left? Can you identify him in court if it's the same person? Bring the pictures and the police report and point out the errors in the report. I wouldn't stop until the report has been changed. It doesn't matter if you ran the red or not, I think, if the driver is drunk and has been consuming alcohol then HE'S at fault. Take some pictures of the intersection and bring them to court. Maybe get a written statement from Officer Murphy, if he's willing to explain his side and attempt to debunk his statement. Don't try to make him look like an asshole cop, just an honest mistake.

Then he say's I'm adjourning it for next month, then he looks at me and says, "Can I have a word with you?"
We step out side and he says, "This is how it's going to work." In my head I'm like, oh god, one of these guys. He goes on telling me about how I'm not going to get anywhere near the blue book value for the car because of the police report. I cut him off and tell him 'This is where you're wrong. I wrote a letter to the lieutenant of the police department complaining about how I was the only character at the scene of the accident and what I told the officer wasn't written on the police report. I guarantee by next court date the police report will be changed to my liking.' The lawyer then said alrighty, I'll talk to the insurance company and see if they can give you the bluebook value. I tell him that I have receipts for everything that I fixed on the car and he said I highly doubt you'll get anything for that. At the end he basically gave me a deal, either 2,650 from insurance for blue book value or see what I can get from court for 5000 (What I'm suing for.) I told him to call me when he talks to the insurance company.
If the insurance company offers me $2,650, I'm going to take it. What do you guys think? I have receipts for all repairs done to my car which add up to a total of 5,585. What do you think?

I have to agree. I'm not calling you a scumbag, but why would you sue the owner of the car? What if someone stole your car and hit someone and ran away? Should you be held accountable? I don't think so. They're setting you up to humiliate you on TV. You're obviously gonna be seen as the bad guy in this case. They're going to side with the mentally ill person.
Which brings me to another question, if this person is mentally ill did he have a driver's license. I know he wasn't the one driving. And I don't think his illness would prevent him from owning a car, but I would think it would prevent him from having a license. He may just get driven around.
My mom went through a similar situation. The cops where chasing some guy, the guy lost control and hit the back of my moms 91 Honda Accord station wagon that was parked at her friends house. The guy jumped out the car and fled through the neighborhood through some yards, the cops lost him since it was at night. The driver was never identified, and the car was stolen. We said screw it and left the car as it was. We hammered the latch a bit back and got the hatch to close. There wasn't much we could do. Its one of those cases where your just stuck. If you cant sue the guys insurance, just drop it.

We step out side and he says, "This is how it's going to work." In my head I'm like, oh god, one of these guys. He goes on telling me about how I'm not going to get anywhere near the blue book value for the car because of the police report. I cut him off and tell him 'This is where you're wrong. I wrote a letter to the lieutenant of the police department complaining about how I was the only character at the scene of the accident and what I told the officer wasn't written on the police report. I guarantee by next court date the police report will be changed to my liking.' The lawyer then said alrighty, I'll talk to the insurance company and see if they can give you the bluebook value. I tell him that I have receipts for everything that I fixed on the car and he said I highly doubt you'll get anything for that. At the end he basically gave me a deal, either 2,650 from insurance for blue book value or see what I can get from court for 5000 (What I'm suing for.) I told him to call me when he talks to the insurance company.
If the insurance company offers me $2,650, I'm going to take it. What do you guys think? I have receipts for all repairs done to my car which add up to a total of 5,585. What do you think?

OMG why would you even ask this question?!? I would've been on tv by now hahaha. But seriously good luck, it sucks but the truth is that you're at fault whoever is turning must give way to those passing through the intersection (even if he did run a red), but since the guy was drunk that could change the judges mind to your side. Let us know what happens.

I think you people misunderstood. I'm pretty sure that he was suing the other driver, not the owner of the car. He just doesn't type things very clearly.

I'm pretty sure they never found the other driver. Unless I missed that post.

ah, I misinterpreted the post quoted below. He said the police had found the other driver, so I assumed the first thing they would have done would be to ID the guy. I went back and re-read the original post, and apparently not. The fact that the car was reported stolen 6 hours AFTER the accident seems a little fishy to me. I would assume that the police would contact the owner right after the other driver took off.
To Lieutenant:
Over a month ago on February 7th, 2008 at 4:12 P.M I got into a vehicular accident, ..........Officer Murphy and the other officer, who I do not know the name of, located the other driver in Burger King which was a few stores down. They told me to wait while they get him......
To the OP: take the KBB value from the insurance company. As an example, just because you spent $250 for a mechanic to replace an alternator doesn't mean the value of your car has gone up by that much.

Yeah. Everything is done with already. I'm waiting for $2000 dollars in the mail. I have my new 240 and everything. It's staying stock till I get money/career job. So that means stock for another 2-3 years :-D. Meanwhile this summer I'm taking some investing class for the hell of it. Then I play with stock market til I become a radiation therapist :-D

you should really look into becoming a lawyer, for your age, nothing against it, you seem to be very mature and know how to properly handle business. I'm glad you at least got something out of it.

Thanks punxva but from what I hear, the schooling for that is so long. I'll lose motivation half way through. With radiation therapy, I just have to go to school for 2 years (or one, depending if I want a certificate or degree; I want a degree.) Then once I become a radiation therapist I'll be making 65k minimum, that is IF i find a job. And while I'm working I'll go to school to become a physicist, get promoted and boom.
But what I really want to do after saving up the money from radiation therpay, is make my dads auto repair shop grow and do something in the automotive industry. Mainly because my dads a mechanic (owns his own shop) and my brother is going to school for it. My brothers making a name for himself in New York. If any of you guys heard of C-LO Tuning, thats him. I want to build a company off of that so it could be a family business of $$, sorta! Just a dream... lol
I need someone who's knowledgable in business to talk to. I have so many ideas in my head and I want to know if any of them would work.
