When a had my roll over from a faulty Firestone tire, my insurance company said not to worry that they would take care of everything. Since this was my only accident with no experience with such things I listened to them. They immediately raised our rates and the ticket that I got from the cop the insurance company said that there was nothing they could do. I decided to go to court to fight it. I was ticked that I had gotten the ticket (yes I do believe that if you get a ticket and you are breaking the law, speeding, etc that you should man up and pay it) since I did not think that it was my fault. The tire blew and there was nothing I could do. Anyway, we hired an attorney and decided to sue Firestone since it was proven that the tire was a defective tire and that it was not our fault. They checked the wear and tread and they were still like new. Long story short our attorney got the ticket thrown out. The attorney went to court for me and the judge said that it never should have been issued in the first place. He also threatened to report our insurance to the state insurance board if they did not lower our rates back to where they were. They lowered them immediately even though Mike had tried arguing with them for several months.
Long story short - get an attourney and a good one. Best of luck.
Also, did she give him permission just to take the car home or to go joy riding? Was he on the way home? This might be another point to argue. I also agree that it is a tragic situation and my heart goes out to all involved.

Thats the million dollar question....she was tanked and has no memory. Maybe yes.... Maybe no..... but the worst part is she already told the po po in a later interview while sober that she may have given permission. Now if she would have animately denied giving anyone permission to drive her car, that would be an entirely different situation. OPPSSS to late now! Remember they even went home that night before realizing they didn't even have the keys to get in with.

Yes, my wife and I are in very deep doo doo apparantly with this situation.
But first things first: MATT: YOU were not there and therefore DO NOT know what the facts of the case are. I DO NOT appreaciate you coming on here and every other word out of your mouth is an attempt to degrade my wife because she had a few drinks. If you can't say anything positive - SHUT THE HELL UP! You wanna report me for that - feel free. I don't give a damn anymore.

Well....I knew this was stressful for you and should have worded differently. I do apologize if you read it in a different way than it was intended. I'm not offended by your comment and understand your frustration. In no attempt was an opinion in a public forum meant to degrade any situation or anyone. Facts are facts and you are correct I was not there. I can only go on what you tell me in every phone call update you give daily. If you need any of the PIA numbers let me know. I know two off hand that owe some favors.
