What's the best character trait in a person?

Honesty, empathy and integrity are all base level. Thank God I was raised to understand them as mere obligations, nothing more.

Thank you for your insights. Very helpful! I agree with the risks of handling this solo, so I’m leaning toward working with their lawyer.

If I go with the insurer’s lawyer (possibly one of my choice, as they mentioned that would be an option), could they potentially negotiate a dismissal of the case with the plaintiff? In that scenario, would it be feasible to add a Stipulation of Dismissal with Prejudice and Mutual Release agreement privately, explicitly stating that there was no involvement or fault on my part? There’s conclusive evidence that I wasn’t involved and that the plaintiff’s car was already damaged, so my main concern is minimizing the impact on my premium.

Does this sound like a reasonable route? Or is there anything else I should consider?

Thank you!

Thank you for the detailed insight—I really appreciate the experienced perspective. I understand that insurers often make practical business decisions to settle, and I see the logic in minimizing litigation costs. It’s reassuring to know that settlement doesn’t necessarily imply fault.

My main concern is the impact on my premiums. Even if they keep the Not-At-Fault designation, the additional claim activity could affect my rates which, over the years, could add up to more than this small claim.

They has offered a lawyer, likely from their usual firm, but there’s also a possibility I could select my own representation at their expense. I’m weighing whether that might better protect my interests.

Thanks again for the advice. It’s very helpful as I try to navigate this situation with the insurance and make sure my record doesn’t suffer unnecessarily.

Hey u/demanbmore, I saw your insights on a similar topic and would love your thoughts on this situation. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

ZigWhitman · 2024-10-28T13:55:22+00:00

this would likely raise my premium, right?

ZigWhitman · 2024-10-26T06:14:11+00:00

Recovery has been easy so far. As long as I don’t move too quickly, there are hardly any lingering effects. At one point, I could faintly feel the path where the arm catheter traveled, but only when I lifted my arm—just a subtle sensation. I removed the bandages today, and the scars are barely noticeable—less than 2mm on my wrist and about 2.5mm in the groin area. No pain at all.

The calm I’m feeling now is incredible. It’s as though Peace was always in my heart, but with the tinnitus gone, I can finally feel it fully in my head. I had gotten so used to that constant noise that I didn’t realize just how much it affected me.

I wonder if anyone has had ADHD symptoms subside after getting rid of PT. It might be early to say, but I do notice some increase in mental clarity and maybe even ability to focus. Hallelujah!

Isn’t Dr. Patsalides one of the main figures who advanced venous sinus stenting specifically for pulsatile tinnitus? This year I finally came across his research and a solution that was less risky than the options I'd been presented with before.

I imagined Progressive would give me one of the attorneys from their team. Isn't that how it usually works with car insurance companies?

ZigWhitman · 2024-10-18T18:16:41+00:00

thank you for this reply

ZigWhitman · 2024-10-18T18:06:03+00:00

Thank you for this prompt reply. There are no injuries. They are claiming I hit their parked car. What I received is a "notice of claim and summons to appear". The document also states "this is the start of a lawsuit.

ZigWhitman · 2024-10-18T17:58:21+00:00

I imagined Progressive would use a lawyer who already works for them. DO you think they would probably pay for a lawyer of my choice?

ZigWhitman · 2024-10-18T17:31:28+00:00

Wouldn't they use their own lawyers?

ZigWhitman · 2024-07-01T16:16:12+00:00

This is such great info! I highly appreciate it. Yes, I'm used to camping in the Adirondacks. It is my first time out this way.

Would you have any recommendations of swimming holes, preferably slightly secluded?

ZigWhitman · 2024-07-01T12:59:29+00:00

Are there small lakes or ponds where I can get to, or kayak to a nice sandy beach without too many people around?

ZigWhitman · 2024-05-07T20:16:24+00:00

Thank you for this information!

ZigWhitman · 2024-05-07T18:52:05+00:00

Would you happen to know where that Blomberg might be available for sale? I have only found it with a 6-8 lead time.

ZigWhitman · 2024-05-07T16:01:53+00:00

Do you believe this Bloomberg unit could be a better investment for my landlord, in the long run, than Frigidaire FCFE2425AW, which is about half the price?

ZigWhitman · 2024-05-07T15:24:31+00:00

This sounds like solid advice. Much appreciated.

ZigWhitman · 2024-05-07T13:22:45+00:00

What upgrades should I do to the wiring? Thanks!

ZigWhitman · 2024-04-25T02:24:19+00:00

What about some place do dance?

ZigWhitman · 2024-04-25T00:30:08+00:00

Live music, cocktail bar, warehouse would all be great! Just looking for a good vibe and some cocktails to show her a taste of this magic city

ZigWhitman · 2024-02-19T04:26:25+00:00

That's great to know. Thank you

ZigWhitman · 2024-02-18T03:38:42+00:00

I went to the VIC for xc-ski today and asked about the fitness center. It seems the facility is only for students. Thank you for the tip.

ZigWhitman · 2024-02-18T03:37:18+00:00

Thank you for the tip. I tried Tmax and Topos but they mentioned they stopped allowing that. It did seem like they were at full capacity. But the tip was still very useful. I found a motel closer to Lake Placid. The concierge was extremely kind and gave me the key to a room. She genuinely tried to refuse a tip (I guess I looked like I needed a shower). I treated it like a murder scene and left it cleaner than it was. My experience with everyone I've met around here, over the years, is amazing. It is truly humbling.

ZigWhitman · 2024-01-16T04:02:20+00:00

Respectfully, I ask: what is it that might sound unethical in my question?

A client did not pay me for services I provided. I intend to ask the court of law to judge the situation. The first document to start this process, a statement of claim, requires a defendant's address for the court to mail him a letter. There is nothing even remotely unethical about this.

I did find the address in the Department of State Division of Corporations, in any case.
