WTF

[Grumpy]

As most of you know I was t boned by a pickup on the way to Inzane in Saginaw,Mi.  The other drivers fault, he blew a stop sign, I was on a through street.  My insurance Co called me Friday to let me know he was filing a law suit against my insurance co. for damages. What the He%%, his fault and he wants to recover damages from me, wish I lived closer, would give him an attitude adjustment.

    On the good side, bike is repaired, just waiting on the saddle bag lids, HDL sent the wrong color first time. ANd talk about luck, I managed to score a new set of Hondaline saddle bag rails, I did not think any existed and more.

Also here in Arkansas, you can be sued even if it is the other guys fault.  Sucks!

anyone can sue anyone for anything,,if the innocent party fails to show for the hearing the guilty party wins,,

Did he get a ticket / citation for running the stop sign ? If so he does'nt stand a snowballs chance in hell of ever collecting a dime....I'm no lawyer however I have stayed at a few Holiday Inns 

[Grumpy]

Yep, he got a ticket. Amazing what some people will try, of course some sleaze bag lawyers will try any thing for a buck.

Michagan is a no-fault state. That means your insurance pays your repair no matter whos fault ?

[Oyeaa]

Sounds like he is suing your insurance not you.  The Insurance Co lawyers will take care of it.  BTW, I know you probably know this having been in an accident but...many do not know that in Michigan when it comes to any accident between a car and Motorcycle the car insurance is required to pay the medical bills of the Motorcyclist regardless of fault.

  Hey grumpy ...I live in Saginaw ... if you need any local help let me know....  if you need to come up here I have spare room for you....  I hate this kind of crap...did the guy even have insurance...probably not...if you have a deductible on your insurance be sure to sue his... for your lose.

[Grumpy]

Thanks for the offer, Insurance co should handle it. And he did have insurance (progressive) they called me to check on medical expenses ofter I got home.
