[Spridgets] Parking lot woes...

[an5.sprite at gmail.com]

A year ago I was driving my daughters car and was hit while stopped by a driver backing up to grab a new york city parking spot. I got a fair estimate for the repair but when it was time to pay they tried to balance the blame. They initially offered to pay 60% saying my actions contributed to the accident. It took an hour and a request to speak to a supervisor to get a 95% payout. The last 5% I just gave up on. 

If you have your facts and are prepared to negotiate and stand your ground you should do ok.

Good luck.

Lester,

Sounds like you're having a bad day. Did Aetna reject a 200% markup on some of
your billings?

If we want to throw stones, alot of people will be bloodied.

My wife is a widow. Her first husband was a Dentist. The public would be
stunned to know of the markups in that profession. Stunned.

I predict that Ryan will be offered a reasonable sum to repair the damage to
his parked car by the company that insures the truck that hit his Midget.

If he insists on repair of the previous damage/rust/rot, then a conflict might
arise.

I wouldn't be quick to prejudge.

And I have to break that little bubble several times a day.  I think that
there are still folks out there who believe that and expect their insurance
company or the other insurance company to help them through a tough time and
it ain't so.
