Mention things that you were also injured in the accident and so forth, every small bit of information on your part can help.

We were surprised to receive a letter from her insurance company for the same reasons that you have stated. We responded defensively, and we haven't heard from them since.

But I have no idea how big of a pickle you're in. You an American, by any chance?
Yes I'm an American and its just really bothering me because if I could have had any control of the car I would have veered it off that freaking hill. I'm going to post a video tomorow of my car and that hellish turn.

Edit: Yes I should enlist Eggo as one of my lawyers maybe they can turn this into a hate crime against me seeing as I'm one of those awful gay folks (if you cant laugh at yourself then what can you laugh at)

If your insurance company would be on the hook for any damages in any potential lawsuit, don't worry at all---hell hath no fury like an insurance company sued.
Yea they are the one paying for my lawyer its just that I've never been sued before I mean for gods sakes it was 2 fucking (language I know) years ago why now?
Old ladies with lawyers are like bacteria in AIDS patients. Opportunistic and ruthless.

Remember, if she wins, you might as well actually damage her car as badly as she claimed. You still have that heavy metal car, right?

Anyways good luck and get pictures of her soul crushing defeat in court.

You hit another car head on by not observing the road conditions and adjusting your driving accordingly. Sucks to be you but it's your fault. You sound like one of those people who barrels on at 110 on the freeway in pouring rain with 0 visibility "cause I'm doing the speed limit so it's safe"

Hope you get sued into bankrupcy and aren't ever coming the other way on any road I am driving on .
Hope I never meet a grouchy-face like you in real life ;/ By Apollo, what crawled up your arse and died this morning?

Actually I was paying attention and was only going about 30 mph like I said that curve is hellish and the road was slick yes it was my fault but I cant control the car when it wants to go forward and I have the wheels turned to the right.

NOTE: I am actually going through a very similar situation right now

I was involved in a car accident earlier this year, but on the receiving end. One of the first things my lawyer told me was that we only had 1 year to file a claim in civil court, if I ever wanted to get any compensation for the accident. (Please note that I broke my pelvis and was unable to walk on my own for nearly two months, so I think I deserve something)

Of course, I am in California and often these laws vary from state to state or even country to country, if you live elsewhere. Due to the extreme lateness of the claim, it may not even be legal for the complainant to take your mother to court at this point. Something to think about.

You'll get compensation for it but when you try to go through the legal system it seems to take even longer to get it. This was the first accident that I've had in my own personal vehicle being my fault. I have been in a couple others where I was in someones car and they were driving and it was some eles fault.

I guess what I was driving at is that you may be able to just say, "No, I'm not paying you anything." At this point, they probably don't have much legal recourse if you deny them payment. Trust me, anybody in an accident severe enough to impinge upon their income enough to need to sue someone would never wait two years.

I feel a bit hypocritical, since I'm suing someone and encouraging you to fight a suit, but there are times when it seems appropriate to receive compensation as a result of another's actions, and there are times when it does not. Your situation appears to be an appropriate application of a lawsuit/claim.

I'm still wondering how it could be your fault if you were paying attention, yet lost control of your car on a particularly difficult curve. You made it sound like it was either hitting another car, or going off the side of the road and down an incline.

To me this is a clear money grabber case. Here in Canada these cases almost never happen unless insurance companies didn't pay their dues.

I had a similar situation to this a while back. Took 3 years to finally get into court (try giving detailed answers about a night that long ago!) and the other party tried to make me out as a young reckless boy-racer with a death wish.

Don't fret - this is why you get insurance! It's the insurance company's lawyer, so this must mean your insurance covers you in this respect. This is the whole reason for insurance, so the only lasting effect might be a rise in your premium until you can build up a no claims again.

Seriously, don't worry about it. Your lawyer will know how to handle the situation far better than onyone on here!

Good luck!
