Oh, good grief! What a chit show that entire accident and ticket was. So, you know I bumped into the guy with my Silverado with Rob’s K5 on a trailer behind me. As stated earlier in this thread, this dude was driving rather erratically and then he left the scene of the accident. I called the po-po to report it just in case the dude appeared later blaming me for a hit and run and because I rear ended him I got the ticket even though he left the scene. The police were supposed to let me know if they ever found the guy.
So, a few months go by (and just before my court date) and I get a call from Allstate where someone filed a claim against me. I’m like what?? So I called Allstate and come to find out he report to the police it was a hit and run on Safeway’s parking lot about 5 that afternoon (the accident happened at 11ish AM) as I later found out. Even though he told the police it was a hit and run on the grocery store parking lot he told my insurance it happened on the street and that I left the scene! So now he told two different lies which neither were true. Luckily, I had reported this accident to my insurance that day along with a copy of the policy report so they knew he was feeding them a line of crap but non the less, they processed his claim. In the end, he was awarded $3900 for the complete loss of that old Buick LeSabre. My insurance said there would not be any rate increase due to the accident. Talk about BS!!
So, now I have this clowns name and call the cop shop to get a copy of his report that they were supposed to provide me months ago. Keep in mind, they were supposed to let me know if they ever found him and never did. Hell, he went into the police station later that day and they never told me. And if that is not bad enough, they didn’t even give him a ticket for leaving the scene of the accident. As I researched the guys name I found he is a registered sex offender with the State of Colorado so it makes me wonder what he had in the car that probably caused him to leave the scene. Whatever it was, he did not want the police to know about it. He was also driving his dead grandmothers car with expired tags. No tickets were issued to this a-hole. To make it worse, I have a bro in-law and nephew on the Canon City police force and they never said a peep and they were supposed to be looking for this old Buick. No wonder there are so many Canon cops and Fremont County Sheriffs on paid administrative leave. Their a bunch of hilljacks!
Next comes the court date and I just took a deferred sentence and made a $170 donation to a local charity as the fine. I was peeved but I figured okay, whatever…I got hosed.
Now fast forward to 6 months later and my insurance goes up $300 each 6 months, so basically $600 a year. Now I am really pissed and wished I had taken the accident to trial to force them to bring this guy into court just to share the pain. In the end, we had to dump Allstate after being with them for over 20 years and move to Liberty Mutual. We had like 7 vehicles, a house, an umbrella with Allstate and it was costing almost 10G’s a year with Allstate. Piss on Allstate and the Canon City Police Department and, especially,
THIS GUY who is the meth head sex offender POS that caused the accident then left the scene only to get off scott free with $3900 from my insurance, $170 fine for me and the damage to my truck. It is a small community and one day I will run across him and it won’t be pretty
Now that you bring this up, it pisses me off all over again
