I've been with the same independent agency for 30 years now. When
our agent heard I was having trouble with the claims adjuster, she
went right over his head to a VP, problem solved within 24 hours.<br>

He said if there was any issue with insurance paying for anything,
he would take care of it. Made that statement to several people,
and in front of the police. One driver was doing a lot of video
with his phone and probably has it on record.

evening didn’t turn out to good for me. Wife sent me
to the local church dinner event to get dinner since
it was too muggy and she decided not to cook. On the
way a driver pulling a large dump trailer filled with
rock took out my windshield , as well as the
windshield of over 14+ other drivers. I have several
windshield and hood chips and dings, one “chip” the
size of a tennis ball. Turns out his gate was bent up
and even though it was fully closed, rock was falling
out of the bottom. Didn’t help that he was doing 55 in
a 35 zone. Turned around and chased him for a couple
of miles before I could get him to pull over. No
sooner than he got out of his truck, several other
drivers pulled up behind him. Long story short several
local police cars and a sheriff’s car showed up and
started taking damage reports from all the drivers who
called, they must have been flooded with calls. The
road was lined for several miles with police cars and
drivers who pulled over where they got hit. One
officer was tasked with taking pictures of the damage,
as well as everybody’s license plate, drivers’s
license, registration, and proof of insurance. Another
officer was tasked with rolling everything into one
large report instead of dozens of incident reports.
With all those pictures, that’s going to be a large
report.

State law requires you to give your driver

<div>

<div>
<div>Thanks every one for your
comments and suggestions. I didn’t
do certain things at the accident
site I should have. But… let me tell
you I was more than a little shook
up. In those last few seconds while
trying to miss him your mind goes
into overdrive thinking terrible
things. I think I did a damned
good job of minimizing the damage
both to his truck as well as mine.
If I had rear ended him is suspect
both trucks would have been totaled
with the possibility of some
injuries. So having the sense under
pressure to drive to the right to
miss him and not hit the trees was
pretty good for this old man.
But…. I wasn’t thinking very good
when it came time to get pictures of
the scene and of various documents.
I have a perfectly good Smart Phone
but I resorted to hand writing all
information. There were two factors
that confused things for me. He
left the scene of the accident for a
short time so the actual accident
scene had already been compromised
and it was pitch black with no moon
or the moon was covered with clouds.
It was really dark. So I resorted
to a flashlight. Forgetting that my
Android phone has a flash etc. I’ll
admit I was a bit shook up. My mind
had contemplated something much
worse. I wasn’t thinking 100%
straight anymore. The strange part
is I cannot find any evidence of the
collision at the site in daylight. I
cannot find any pieces of car parts,
or plastic or anything. I’m now
thinking it has been stripped of any
evidence. I’ve been up and down the
road at several driveways and cannot
find a thing. That really bothers
me. I also am a bit confused about
how ABS brakes work, I was on the
brake pedal as hard as can be but I
never left a skid mark on the
asphalt road. I know ABS is
supposed to find the maximum
traction when braking but as hard as
I was on the brake pedal I don’t
quite understand why is didn’t leave
a mark.</div>

<div style="margin-left:23.1pt">Sorry
to change the subject but I
have a little challenge right
now. My antique Tractor puller
P/U and I were in a little
fender bender incident
recently which has become very
complex since the other
driver gave me all false data
as to who he was, where he
lived, how to contact him and
whether he was insured or
not. Other than that things
are going well. After about 5
days of online investigation
my wife and I tracked him down
and have a working cell phone
number for him. I’ve talked
to him and we have exchanged
several text messages but I
still don’t know where he
lives and who his insurance
company is. I gave him my
insurance company verbally at
the accident but he seems to
have forgotten it and now
repeatedly asks for who the
company is. I refuse to give
it to him until I get a valid
insurance company name from
him. All he will talk about
is getting his truck fixed.
And that the accident was my
fault. To add more stupid
stuff to this whole fiasco he
is now claiming injury which
is a crock of cow dung. </div>
<div style="margin-left:23.1pt">
</div>
<div style="margin-left:23.1pt">He
backed out of a blind driveway
onto the road heading in the
same direction as I was. This
was at about 9:45PM and it was
pitch black dark with no
street lights way out in the
country. I only noticed the
reflection of my headlights
off of the side of his black
Dodge Pick Up. No tail lights,
no back up lights, no brake
lights, no running lights, no
lights of any sort. I
immediately slammed on the
brakes and started steering
and braking to the right of
his truck which was now close
to being in the right
orientation to head down the
road. I saw the eye of a
needle to try to get between
the truck and the trees at the
driveway exit. Well, I came
to a stop right after brushing
the side of his truck and
messing up my left fender. I
got close to threading the
needle. Could have been a
pretty violent rear-ender
otherwise. But as you might
expect he is now blaming me
and I hit him therefore I am
at fault. I have no witnesses
to prove what happened. I’ve
informed my insurance Co and
filed a collision report with
the Washington State Patrol.
I’m pretty sure he is an
uninsured driver which is
illegal in our state. In my
investigation tracking him
down I have been told he is
involved in illicit drugs and
he DOES have a criminal
record.. So…. Due to this I
am looking for a dash camera
to mount on our vehicles so I
don’t have to go through this
situation of not having proof
again. </div>
<div style="margin-left:23.1pt">
</div>
<div>So I’m looking for Dash
Camera suggestions for my 2003
Ford F250 and a 2016 Buick
L:acrosse. I usually don’t
buy the fancy stuff I just get
the basics in a good product
that are needed.
Suggestions would be
appreciated???? I’ve had one
recommended to me and that is
a Rove 4 but I know nothing
about it yet.</div>
