[K3CAL] Gee!

[Jim Tetlow]

Thanks for concern, no injuries. Was not in vehicle, was in the meeting when the woman came in to announce that she hit a jeep in the parking lot outside (did I mention a County employee and in front of the security camera). Anyway after almost 3 weeks since the accident and her still not reporting or responding, the insurance is going to fix it. She may have been drunk, by her voice and the way she left the parking lot, but whom am I to judge?

When the drunk hit me and Mr. Ed on Dares Beach Road on Christmas Eve of 2010, Geico decided to uninstall our car permanently.  I STILL miss that car.  And then I uninstalled Geico because the drunk had Geico also.  And I had to get a lawyer to help me clean up the mess.

>> Well as some of you may know at our last General meeting, I was the lucky prize winner of someone running into me in the parking lot. Good or bad luck, we were both insured by the same insurance company. Although the other party failed to report the accident, respond to inquires via phone, email and certified mail requests, the insurance company as told me they are assuming liability, and will repair my vehicle.

>> So maybe two weeks +/-, at least I will have a rental car. Oh, no shop in Calvert County works with GEICO, so I have to drop it off in Annapolis. The rental car will be at the shop when I drop it off......guess where the car is coming from? Yes Prince Frederick! No wonder everyones insurance costs so much.

>> Wouldn't it be better if the victims only had to sit back and the person at fault had to make arrangements to get your vehicle in the shop and deliver it to you when repaired, plus deliver and return your replacement rental vehicle? Seems like the victim always pays with time and money and never gets reimbursed for that loss.
