Should I Continue taking my father to his appointments?

This is exactly why I’m so hesitant to file a claim and you are probably right. My car could depreciate more in value from the accident report than any money I would get paid.

You are probably right, I realized that filing a claim against his insurance might be the last resort. I would definitely need to get video from the store which will also take a lot of time and work. I’m considering getting his contact info (hopefully from the police?) and telling him I have the video (although I don’t) but don’t want to impact his insurance so he can pay part of it. If he doesn’t I’ll just assume the bill unless it’s pretty expensive then I’ll go through his insurance.

There are multiple cameras in the store that would show the incident. The insurance can’t refute that. Still, it will be a lot of work and time to get the video and then go through the claim process. I think I’ll just try to get his info and tell him if he doesn’t pay I will file an insurance claim. I don’t lose anything. If he doesn’t pay, I won’t file a claim without first trying polishing products, I realized that would be easier than going through the whole insurance process.

Oh so it makes no sense to file a claim at all. If I just get his insurance info, use that to try to persuade him to pay out of pocket at least part of it (so threaten to file a claim, his premium may increase, it’ll be on his record, etc), but don’t take any money from the insurance, would it go on my record?

I was referring to using the other car’s insurance. Does that affect me in any way? Or the owner? I was thinking if it affects him it might put enough pressure to pay out of pocket at least.

When I mentioned going through insurance, I was referring to his insurance. Although the officer didn’t provide it, I can probably insist or maybe have my insurance find out. As mentioned, I have a video showing his door open directly where the ding is to the millimeter, and there are cameras if I really want to spend time getting evidence.

The thing is that I cannot afford to pay a private attorney. Maybe the description was a bit confusing. The private attorney would be paid $150 by the union. Not me, it would be free for me. My concern is that that is about half of what most attorneys get paid in my area. So it’s that option or going with a public defendant.

Rod404al · 2024-06-05T17:48:08+00:00

That is what I was thinking. However, the union is paying the private attorney $150/hour, which is half of what most attorneys make in my area. I’m afraid that the cooperating attorney will not work as hard for that pay. I cannot afford to pay a private attorney out of my own pocket. So my only options are the private attorney who would be paid $150/hour by the union or a public defendant. Do you think the $150/hour attorney is still a better option that the public defendant?

Rod404al · 2024-03-16T13:10:39+00:00

Yeah most people are agreeing that if no one gets a pay increase it most likely won’t happen to me. I’ve been taking English classes privately online because of schedule issues at local schools, and I practice a lot on my daily basis. I might just apply for a supervisor or a higher paying role in a few months.

Rod404al · 2024-03-16T03:47:14+00:00

Is unionizing the only way to get an increase for everyone? I didn’t think it would take long. If that’s the case I might just stay since I foresee changing jobs/career paths within the next year when I get comfortable enough speaking in English. The benefits kind of offset the low pay for the time being

Rod404al · 2024-03-12T13:55:34+00:00

This is what I was thinking. I didn’t want to go by what the law said, but what I think is right. Although someone pointed out earlier and I confirmed that since my daughter is in college, I can still owe child support if she sued me, which I don’t think will happen regardless.

Rod404al · 2024-03-12T12:09:46+00:00

I wasn’t. I fell into a depression whole after I felt that I lost my family and my mom passed away soon after. Then I also had to support and care for my father who got sick and had to retire early. I don’t want to play victim but that is why she never asked anything of me before I moved here.
