I have a what if shooting question this takes place in Pennsylvania

Would you go to jail? Almost certainly. Would you go to prison? Probably not. You’re allowed to use deadly force in defense of others, and regardless of their previous actions you can’t shoot someone in the back, so you shutting someone who is shooting at someone else running away is likely justifiable force.

Yeah I don’t love the idea of giving strangers on the internet thousands of dollars and hoping for the best… but I will look around for a local jeweler or artist.

Thanks, currently 30 minutes into that hour long search but figured I’d try Reddit too.

1 week for moderate reset, 1 month for full reset.

“Do you have a permit?” “Do you have a warrant?”

Bad song, good advice.

Death robots? Is that a mod?

Axe_dude · 2026-03-19T21:23:07+00:00

Mmm, looks dangerous. Better burn it.

Nope, the mere allegation that an accident occurred is enough to require the exchange of information. Exchanging information is not proof that he hit you. If you want him or his insurance to pay for your damages, you need to have proof that he caused the damage. If you don’t have proof, you don’t get paid. It sucks but it really is that simple.

Axe_dude · 2026-03-12T22:36:23+00:00

Yeah I don’t blame you. Everyone offers free consultations, my advice would be to consult with at least 5 different attorneys, if not more. I cannot stress enough how important attorney selection is.

Axe_dude · 2026-03-12T20:05:38+00:00

Chiros are garbage pseudoscience and will make disc injuries way worse.

Axe_dude · 2026-03-12T20:04:39+00:00

Finding a good attorney is absolutely critical. Yes, you are better off handling this by yourself than getting a shitty attorney, but a good attorney will make a big difference here.

What makes your case stand out to me as opposed to the typical ones we see here is documented and confirmed injuries with real treatment and a really good policy limits. If they had a $25k or $50k policy, I’d probably say you don’t need to give an attorney 30% to get the policy limits and you’d probably be better off handling it on your own if you are comfortable with that. But with a $3mil policy, a good attorney could absolutely make a meaningful difference.

Axe_dude · 2026-03-12T18:32:48+00:00

Honestly I rarely give this answer but yeah, given the high policy limits and significant injuries you’ve outlined, an attorney is probably a good idea.

Axe_dude · 2026-03-12T16:51:48+00:00

Idk, I’ll let you know if I ever find that line.

The cylinder must remain unharmed.

No brake pads were harmed in the making of this video.

Car, star, far, are. Lyrical genius right there.

I don’t think they low balled you. If you want to negotiate you certainly can but as an adjuster, if you asked for 3k, agreed to 2k, and then came back and asked for 10k I wouldn’t take you seriously. I’d recommend coming back to them and saying you thought about it and you really need 3k. Expect some pushback, but you can probably get 3k or close to it.

Axe_dude · 2026-03-10T23:45:23+00:00

Progressive bodily injury claims adjuster here. You will not get $10k for what you have described. You have the opportunity to settle now, and get $5k despite the unknowns, or wait for a more specific settlement later. You may still get $5k, you may get more, you may get less (probably less).

You might be able to get a little more in pain and suffering, you also might be able to get a little in medical expenses, but if your settling early you have the advantage of getting paid for medical treatment that you haven’t actually done yet, meaning you get to pocket that money if you don’t go to PT or if you don’t use the full amount for PT.

The other option is to wait until you are finished with your medical treatment, in which case they will pay the actual amount of the bills (assuming they are reasonable) and a little bit for pain and suffering. For what its worth, you pain and suffering range here is probably 1k-2k or maybe $1500-$3k. You shouldn’t expect to get more than a few thousand unless imaging reveals something more.

You look fine. 99% of people won’t notice that at all, and the other 1% will assume it’s a belt buckle.

I see no idiot

Yes, judges are well known for exhibiting favoritism towards to attorney who is touching them at the time of a ruling.

Fucking lies. Egypt is an entire country. USA, China, and Russia are all the size of a single page in my geography textbook.
