ooh I didn't know that! someone without insurance rear-ended my vehicle but I chose not to pursue it because then my own insurance rates would've gone up. But heck I didn't know I could have gotten a house out of it 😄 okay but judging by the state of that guy, I doubt he had a very glamorous living situation.
You could own a room in a crack-house
Honestly I doubt he had even THAT much going for him ☹️
I mean, you could rent that out for a couple grand nowadays. “Market rate” baby.
Side bitch pnp
You probably wouldnt have gotten the house. Rather he'd have to sell it to pay the debt.
Somehow, this sounds deeply wrong. Your insurance should cover you regardless of what happens. If it’s an act of god, the insurance company should just swallow those costs. If it’s caused by a third party who is not their customer, they should go after the company that insured the other party, or the other party directly if uninsured.
No matter what the circumstances, if you are not at fault you should never see an increase in your rates, no matter how catastrophic the damage or the costs to make it right.
Huh ok that's good to know
