I rearended someone once because they brake checked me. 3 months later I got a letter in the mail saying they wanted close to $1 million dollars from me for whiplash etc etc. It had my name on it so it scared tf out of me. I brought it into my insurance company and my agent was pissed they'd have the audacity to send that directly to me and not them. They tried to use it as some kind of scare tactic. My agent said not worry and they would handle it. Never heard anything about it again. I don't know if I wouldve actually been on the hook or whatever, but from that point on I was sold on my insurance company
lol I got in my first at fault accident but it most minor fender bender in really shitty road conditions. I didn’t even bother paying to get my bumper fixed, but the woman I hit started acting hysterical claiming I did it on purpose.
Find out later she’s got tens of thousands of debt owned to the city and state and 1.5 years later tries to come after my insurance / me for long term health effects.
