Don't be a ****, what goes around comes around. I'll be sure to drive extra careful around local blue FRS's.

It happened to me a couple years back. Got sued and all that crap, hence the 11k helping me since I was in debt for a while. Plus the guy was trying to sue me first for air bag powder going in his eyes

ac·ci·dent - An unfortunate incident that happens unexpectedly and unintentionally, typically resulting in damage or injury.

I personally believe in karma. And if you wanna teach someone an expensive lesson...someone's gonna teach you an even more expensive lesson.

I was in a hit and run 3 months ago. In total there was 12 grand in rear end damage. My car was completely restored and I got 4 thousand dollars for diminished value in my pocket.

it's ok, we know where his views are. i've always been told you can argue with an idiot but you can't tech them

So I'm a jerk because I sued someone for hitting me? For "using" the system? I guess I could have just let insurance take care of it, which was the initial plan.. But then he tried saying it was my fault, then tried to sue me "FIRST" because of air bag residue. So, I countered. Sueing actually didn't cross my mind until I was served by him first.

A. We don't know what your situation was after the accident. Such as actual wages lost, economic condition.
B. counter suing is ok seeing as you were only defending yourself from what sounds like a frivolous law suit that was filed against you.

Did you mention it in the first post?

If you're at fault the lesson is don't sue. You'll most likely end up owing more than what your insureance will go up.

I didn't mention it... And probably should have. Now everyone thinks I'm a ****. Lol, oh well. I've never ever thought of sueing someone caused by a car accident until it happened to me. And when I was hit by that guy, it still didn't cross my mind at the time. Until after he served me.

[jmaryt]

he was definitely out to f**k you! bad karma! he will eventually suffer as a result!

If you sued them simply because they hit you...yes, you are a jerk.

If you counter-sued, then it's ok, since the other person was trying some BS first. You needed to teach them a lesson. Details would've been good the first time you told the story though.

What matters is, I got 11k in my pocket from someone who didn't pay attention to the road. Expensive lesson for them that hopefully teaches them to pay better attention to the road next time around.

You mean expensive lesson for everyone who pays car insurance? Why else do you think insurance costs what it does?

For your next rationalization, please tell us how your food stamps are working out for you. After all, it was your money before they gave it to you.

Hey everyone, if you pay taxes you should go to your local states homepage and see if you qualify for food stamps. It's your money, you're just getting it back.

You committed fraud plain and simple. The only system you utilized was dishonesty and theft.

That's $1300 in your pocket after paying your medical, your car damage and your attorney...

He got your pain and suffering....
