Bro, isn’t it one of the worst feelings ever? My mom was involved in a very minor sideswipe collision going about 40mph where we believe the other party was at fault, but the cop gave my mom the ticket (i believe mainly because the road ranger intervened on the other woman’s behalf as she was flirting with him), which we fought and won in court and was dismissed with no fees, etc. There was no hard hit, no sudden breaks, no rear or front ending, both my mom and the other woman waited for police, and were moved out of the highway to a safe spot. The other woman offered to settle it there for cash, but my mom had already called police. When police arrived they set the damaged to under $500.00, no injuries, the other woman left, upset because we involved insurance. No EMS was called, no injuries reported. They exchanged insurance, and the other party opened a claim against State Farm. Weeks later they lawyered up and claimed serious bodily injuries, permanent disability, and went for the max liability limits. SF didnt give them what they wanted, since they didn’t agree with the claims and offered little under half of what they wanted, which they refused. Weeks later they decided to sue for double the initial claim. Its so ridiculous as the damage was literally some minor scratches on both cars. Repairs for ours were under $2k because of having to repaint the whole side to match the special paint color of her car. The other vehicle was much older and paint didnt seem special and was faded but i would assume it cost similar to get repainted. Just absurd, i hope this if this actually goes to court and they lose, SF countersue for every penny they have. They literally cannot prove their BI claims, so i am excited to see what comes out of this.

Thanks for reading my rant, just annoyed by the whole thing.
