I was all set for surgery one week...
Wife & I were heading out for a nice meal at lunch before I was going to be laid up awhile....
Going straight, through an intersection, one lane each direction, & turn lanes.
Went straight through our green light, and a guy,
coming uphill, turned in front of us, and we T-boned...
Fucked me up a lot ....
He came running up, said he was sorry, and that it was his fault,
because he dropped his interlock device, and was looking down to find it....
I told him he had better say exactly that to the cop, or I would find him when it was all over, and he'll wish he had...
He told the cop, I still fought insurance companies and lawyers for 2 years, I still have pain from the accident, and still have pain from the issue the surgery was to fix, that was interrupted, and has yet to be done.
How is the city/county/state not liable for an accident caused by something YOU installed, that requires a driver to be in attentive to facilitate?
The ultimate distracted driving...your car stops running.....
