Fender Bender costs $1500 Last Thursday night I attended Bible Study at my church like I do nearly every Thursday. My church is on a side street, not heavily traveled. When you pull out of the parking lot, if you go to the left, it brings you to a main road that is close to the highways. If you take a right, it leads you into a town park where there is basically NO traffic. It's a good cut-through for people that know the town. USUALLY that's the way I go home, but last Thursday, I needed to go with everyone else and take a left out of the parking lot. We were creeping down towards the stop sign in a row of cars. I was listening to a voice message a friend had left me when all of a sudden, BAM! I got rear-ended. I jumped out of my car and asked the lady that hit me what had happened. Her reply: "I lost control of myself". Hmmmm...she was not from around here. A heavy island accent. I asked if she had insurance and she said she did. I asked for a copy of it and she didn't have it in the car. !!! I got her name and phone number and couldn't think of anything else I needed...and my car was damaged in the bumper (I drive a Subaru Legacy - had the bumper damaged already once before and it was $1500!) I told the lady that I'd call her when I got home to get her insurance information. I got home and first called my own insurance company, Geico. They took my information. Then they said I could file the claim thru the other party's insurance company and not have a deductible to pay. Cool! I called her, and she asked that I "do her a favor" and tell the insurance company that her sister, Diana, was driving the car. Now this is a lady that just left church with me. Is she really asking that I tell a lie to her insurance company? As it turns out, dealing with this woman has been quite testing. She gives me attitude every time we've had to talk. I told her I'd be getting the bumper fixed properly, that it could be expensive (when she said she wanted to know the cost, that she may avoid using the insurance and pay out of pocket for the repairs). I called her after my body shop had a chance to look at it and told her that it is $1500 to fix it - she nearly yelled at me for calling her! I thought I was being courteous in calling her and telling her that the bumper did indeed need replacing. Jeesh.  Walking, and praising and trusting my Lord for the rest of my life  |
