Sometimes people do the right thing.

Remember when I got taken out by a hummer from Compton before Christmas?

Against the advice of J, I did NOT call my insurance company because I listened to everyone else and thought I’d be fine just going through the other girl’s.

Everything started out fine. Kelly and Chad from Liberty Mutual were actually quite lovely at first. They were apologetic and friendly and assured me they were doing their best to get this taken care of as soon as possible. I was so clearly not at fault. Easy breezy. 

Not so much. Chicky-who-hit-me decided to change her story. She said she never came in contact with a silver Jetta and there wasn’t any damage on her tank to back it up. Chad told me they couldn’t rule her at fault.

What the what?! I cried. I actually cried.

Then I called my insurance company. They told me it wasn’t looking good. It was months after the accident. I had no police report. They’d “try their best.”

And then at 4:30 on a Friday, I got a call from Chad. He said, “Hey there. This was the phone call I was hoping to make. Chicky-who-hit-you admitted the truth. We are ready to close this case and send you your check whenever you are ready.”

And just like that, sometimes people do the right thing. Perhaps it was the threat of legal action with two insurance companies now pursuing her, but I don’t care. She told the truth.

A very happy weekend to all.

Also, lesson learned. Always trust your boyfriend. (Okay maybe not yours, I don’t know him), but you can trust mine. He was right. See babe, I CAN admit it. I should have called my insurance first. You were right. You were right. You were right.
