The person arrested for DUI is not taken liability on this. Should I sue? Would it even be worth my time. I wish people would take responsibility for their own actions! My family could have been destroyed because of someone else’s stupidity.
The other driver was a female, and she was arrested at the scene for a DUI. She pulled a U-turn through an intersection right in front of my wife and several other vehicles, pulling into the right traffic lane, then swerved into the left traffic lane to avoid getting rear-ended. Her swerve into the left lane resulted in side-swiping my wife and sending her and my three year old son (who was actually in the backseat of the car on the side that was hit) into the median. The other driver was cited for several things as well as arrested for the DUI. And now she does not think she is completely liable, when there were several witnesses that gave statements verifying my wife’s story, as well as traffic cameras that caught the whole thing, because it was in an intersection!
We all have the same insurance company……my family, as well as the other driver.
If he’s insured, have your insurance sue his butt. If he isn’t insured, have your insurance company sue for any assets he has. Try your insurance company first because they will sue in your behalf. Prior poster was wrong. If he is insured his insurance has to pay off. You shouldn’t need a private attorney on this. This is exactly what you pay insurance premiums for. I hope your family is well, and good luck.
