Had a friend who was in an accident. Both parties represented by USAA. They actually took the case to trial and it was pretty rough.


You have any details on the accident? I was t boned by someone who ran a stop sign. I had no stop sign. Seems pretty clear. Pictures, police, witness all should corroborate that.

jlove Geico is great with holding people accountable when they are at fault or injured and they also keep you in the loop with the other peeps involved. My ex wife was involved in an accident and both parties involved had Geico also, thank goodness. My ex barely touched the other vehicle involved but of course the other lady involved said she was injured. Fast forward a couple of months and several updates from geico and medical updates about other party involved and her injuries. Nothing came about it she couldn't verify her injuries and doctors couldn't either. Our insurance didnt go up one bit after this either. Good Luck

This was several years ago. My friend was a passenger in a car driven by a family member, also t boned. She had some significant injuries. She worked in historic preservation and the other lawyer tried to insinuate that she was racist because of it and therefore unsympathetic to the all black NOLA jury. He tried a couple of other nasty angles, none of which worked and she got a decent settlement. This was a lawyer being paid by her own insurance company.

So let me get this straight

you had no stop sign, they had a stop sign, ran it and t-boned you broadside?

How on earth are they claiming you were at fault?

I have no idea. They were trying to get me on video and harassing me that that I was at fault for two hours before the police showed up.

Every one of them now has a lawyer and is going to sue for injuries sustained in the crash. Standard operating procedure in the hood.

I as thinking of this thread today, was going down napolean to get over to Washington then Jeff Davis. I was Turing left at the lt there at Washington and this dude just plows through the intersection with a damn cop rt there and almost hits me, he waves my bad but if I hadn't thought about this thread I wouldn't have been as cautious going through there.

Of course the cop does nothing. I mean a dude just ran a red light a d could have killed someone, but nope no time for that I guess.

They have that bonified crackhouse/traphouse that's has a noticeable lean and all the windows are busted out covered in plywood or sheets.


If that's the building I'm thinking about, that was a former hair salon that caught fire after some TPOS's crashed into it during a police chase. That was a pretty big story when it happened.

i started chuckling like damn, i really need to get a dash cam, too many people just dont give a frick or dont pay attention when driving.

Imagine coming across that crazy bitch that was going down the wrong way bashing up cars over the weekend? Insurance may not believe you that happened.
