You're quite the thug Kapitan. Someday that attitudes gonna get you in real trouble.

Wow Scandium I'm really glad you're ok! Be glad you don't have to put up with European, especially French drivers (we get a lot who work in Geneva) like I do.

Its more you sh*t on me il sh*t on you if he is in the wrong and he knows it then he will pay one way or another, using of force is last resort but if some guy did do that to me then yeah why the heck not why should he sit pretty laughing whilst im sitting there crippled?

Would you sit there and let it happen i dont think so he ruined my life so id ruin his the way i see it.

But i cant see how scandium there is in the wrong i realy cant, so what if he didnt use a crossing he was 3/4 the way accross the road the driver should have slowed down or something.

I didn't say Scandium was wrong, and where did you get the idea the driver considered this a laughing matter? From what i read the cops said the guy was really shaken up about the whole thing.

We only have a few details told by only one side in this incident, which may i remind you happened late at night. Are you so sure of the drivers ill intent that you would commit a crime to avenge it?

Kapitan · 08-17-06, 05:14 PM

hold on august one part of that post was adressed to you the other was not youve done the whole thing which reminds me next time remind me to put a line in it so we know.

This isnt a laughing matter no! late at night scandium i cant see being in the wrong but yes theres always 2 sides to one story, however how comes the driver didnt see him? what was he doing ? using a mobile phone? head lights dipped? a whole range of things.

And why would he send an insurance man round so soon? got something to hide? wants to nail scandium before scandium can nail him?

At fault or not, the driver has an obligation to report the accident to his insurance company as soon as possible and they take it from there. Far from sending the insurance man, i'd bet the driver wasn't even aware that Scandium had been visited.

I was just about to say the same thing August. Its the insurance company that wants to reduce or eliminate its liability.

Inform the surveillance for the insurance industry about the incident (you got a visit "omlette surprise" by a freak from the opponent's insurance company at you private place, who did not contact you before to ask for a permission to visit you), and to enforce you claims, contact a lawyer immediately.
Don't even try a claims settlement with the insurance company on your own, you will just waste your time. The visit of that freak probably gave you an idea with whom you are dealing with. So be warned from now on.
Your lawyer won't be happy that you have been talking to the other side already. That sure does not make things easier. The other side will nail you on what you once said if things get tough.
If I get you right, you crossed a 4 lane street in the dark and you did not use the pedestrian's crossing? I would not be surprised, if the claims settlement would come out as, let's say like a 20:80 quote to your disadvantage. Depends on what your traffic law says. You have a liability insurance? A 20:80 quote for example means, that you have to pay 80 % of the damage on the car and the driver pays 20% of your loss, like your compensation for pain and suffering will be reduced to 20 % of the total sum.
I wish you a speedy recovery.

I was wondering where you'd been Scandium.

Cryin ass shame about the incident, but it's a good thing you're still around.

Take care of yourself (you did look both ways before crossing right?).
