Kid doesn't own the insurance policy. Why not sue the father, the holder, if this was an insurance claim?
Why take this to court instead of settling outside, 4 fucking years ago? C'mon Ray.
1) The kid is a covered insured and the one who was directly involved.
2) She would have had to file the suit at least two years ago. She may have even filed earlier. Civil lawsuits take a long time.
What is very likely is that her medical insurance deemed the kid responsible and said a lawsuit had to go forward in order to get the other insurance company to pay out.
Insurance companies are not just in the business of paying claims. They all want to find someone else liable and refuse to pay on that basis.
Wait, why should homeowners pay it anyway?
If liability was determined, homeowners would have to pay. Renter's insurance is usually the same.
If you live in an apartment in the US, you usually want to have renters insurance with a minimum of $250k in liability. If you do something that causes damage to another unit it can be very expensive to fix.
Oh right, cos if the jury had awarded the 127 grand she wouldn't have accepted it? Get the fuck out of here with your lame excuses.
Any award would have likely gone straight to her insurance company (if it fronted the costs for medical) or to existing bills. You do have to document all costs when filing for damages. You don't just make up a number.
Yeah, this is why I don't really buy any of it.
Her insurance refusing to cover an arm injury? The bill costing 127k?
It just makes no sense, unless like she flew to another country to visit their ER.
All insurance loves to blame someone else. Why should Company A pay if it thinks that Company B should incur primary liability for coverage?
As for the costs? $127k for the listed injury and multiple surgeries isn't out of the ordinary. You must not be American if you're surprised at the cost.
I'm surprised at how many people fell for the evil aunt storyline. Are people really that naive or ignorant about how things actually work in the world, or at least the U.S., and instead think that everything is straight out of a lifetime movie?
Easier to read the headline and be outraged rather than ask for details.
Crazy bitch just wanted her nephew's inheritance. Suing when his mother's dead body wasn't even cold.
Damn you mre.
Was just about to use that as an example of the forgoing when I realized who posted it.
Your sarcasm troll game is strong today.
Dear America, fix your health care system.
America, your legal and health system is broken as fuck. Yikes.
