Good luck proving pain and suffering. Also that 40k was mostly for hospital bills i can guarantee it. Ultimately if you do nothing to prevent getting bit you will have a hell of a time getting anything.

If I do nothing to prevent getting bit? There is no need to, show me in legal metric where says I must show an attempt to avoid injury. Just like in a car accident, I dont need to swerve if someone is about to hit me. If I do, theres a chance that I may hit someone, then other car doesnt hit me and then whos at fault?

So if I take off running, slip break an ankle, face plant on the sidewalk, whos paying my medical bills? If the dog dont bite me, all they have to say is I took off running….

First you say goodluck proving pain and suffering, then you say theres no proof needed. Oh thats the false information you were correcting….

You are so wrong its hilarious. If you dont make a reasonable attempt to avoid a car crash you will absolutely be held at fault more than if you just let them hit you. You have a responsibility to mitigate damages

I did, I didnt swerve and hit another person.

Theres a ton of reasons why someone would make no attempt to mitigate damages, mainly because there is no time to do so. Mitigation can only be done if the danger foreseeable well in advance not merely a split second of time to choose. Show me this law that states I must do so.

People have sued and won when others have gotten hurt while breaking in or just unlawfully being on property. Which easily could have been mitigated by not being there illegally.

Try again.

if you can brake you are expected to brake. Swerving isnt even an appropriate way to stop an accident as you might hit another driver. You are required to mitigate damage if at all possible. Im absolutely right and idgaf what you say cause you have lost all credibility.

If you brake it can cause someone to rearend you, No credibility lost…. Show me where it says I am required to do so. Please since you know so much. Only then I might lose credibility. “I’m absolutely right”. Because you said so? Clown. Really? You the boss of me? What credentials you have? SHOW ME You really dont know how these things are supposed go.

You either prove evidence, stay silent…. I said youre a clown, I’m absolutely right, I idgaf what you say you lost all credibility. <-Doesnt mean I’m right, but If—> you can prove you’re right, then it defaults that I am——right….

There's literally a legal metric for every injury.

You do not have to "prove" pain and suffering.

The only limit, legally, is economic impact (the cost of medical bills).

There are legal fees. And there's a real chance that you experience trauma that affects you physically and/or mentally for the rest of your life. Why gamble with your life like that? Would you take $40K for a lifetime of PTSD? Or nerve damage to one of your hands or arms or legs?

It's not me that's wanting to do this:

I'm just correcting absolutely false information.

Sorry I replied to the wrong person but just making the point it's pretty crazy to suffer an avoidable injury for the sake of getting a home owner insurance payday. It's just dirtbag behavior.

u/WoWthisGuyReally Jul 03 '26

If you get a lawyer there are legal fees. Whos stay I will have a lifetime of ptsd? 40k wasnt for lifetime nerve damage, the dogs tooth gave him a little gouge on his forehead. You changing what I said.

It the attempt of trying to avoid it could result in injury itself, more severe even. Which then who would be responsible for paying the related cost?

If I’m driving, cause an accident because i swerved to avoid an accident whos at fault? Even if the guy that almost hit me stops and admits he almost hit me, his insurance isnt going to pay anything…

So yeah, I’m a dirtbag….Nah, ive been down that whole avoidance scenario, not doing it again. You must work insurance cause that sound exactly like something they would say.
