We were stopped in a construction zone. We were there for about a minute. Then I think she got distracted with her 2 kids, or was on the phone. She forgot she was behind the trailer and went to close the gat to my Sammy. She hit me and I was getting out of the "truck" LOL and she hit me again. She said she thought she was in a rut and so she hit the gas harder. She was in a van. I don't know how she could of not looked down. Anyway, she offered to settle for $200. I got out my laptop with the wireless internet. I saw that the stock hitch mount was going to cost over $400 with the reciever and all welded on plus install. I know that is high but that is what they cost new. $278 for just the drop plow. I know I can pick up a used one for free, but that is not how it works. I told her to buy me the new bumper setup from Zuk for $248 including shipping. She got irate at me so I called the cops. She got so fined! Double fine in construction zone, insurance rate went up and the next day my back was messed up and I missed 2 weeks of work. Inssurance company settled for $1300 for damages to Sammy and trailer plus medical and lost wages of about $5000.
What a dumb a**. And I am glad that I didn't settle on the spot. I didn't realize how much damage she really did.
ALWAYS CALL THE COPS!! Never settle on the spot. You may have injuries that will surface after the addrenalin wears off.
