Lesson: Always have insurance and a dashcam!

Today, I got into an accident and my bike broke. My insurance expired 5 days ago and the accident wasn't even my fault. The lady was on the phone and on the wrong side of the road. She's threatening to sue me even though her car is in better condition. There are no witnesses and no cameras either. FML

Today, while walking to my car after work, I witnessed some moron who was texting while riding her bike running right into my parked car, resulting in a broken side mirror, a damaged windshield, two dents, and for her, a broken phone and nose. She's threatening to sue me for damages. FML

Today, I received an email from my insurance company about a claim that happened over a month ago when I hit someone from behind. I was very apologetic and stated it was my fault, and now they're trying to claim replacement vehicle costs. I was going under 10mph and their car only had a scratch. FML

Today, I'm recovering from a bad motorcycle crash that could have cost me my life. A truck pulled out in front of me while going 60. Luckily I only have a broken arm and a fractured sternum. I was just notified by my attorney that the guy at fault has no insurance or assets to his name. FML

Today, I accidentally bumped into another car on the road. The worst of the damage was a slight chip to the other driver's paint, but she played it up so much that she ended up being taken away in an ambulance. I'm now terrified that the crazy bitch is going to sue me. FML

Today, my mother sued me for whiplash in a car accident that was her fault. She screamed to stop so I slammed on the brakes and the car behind ran into us. It wasn't an emergency; she just thought she saw her friend at the bus stop. It wasn't even her. FML

Today, a car hit me. I didn't get hurt, but someone called 911. The old woman who had hit me got out of the car with no problem to look at me, and gets back into the car. When the police arrive, she pulls out crutches and said I made strange faces and made her hit me. I got blamed. FML

Today, my mom's boss reversed into my parked car. She expects me to say that it's my fault so she doesn't have her insurance increase. FML

Today, I was rear-ended by a girl barely out of her teens. I got out of my car and went to get her insurance details, only for her mother to get out and up in my face, screaming at me to, "Get back in your fucking car and get the fuck out of here!" I panicked and did just that. FML

Today, I was in a car accident. After screaming at the woman for running into me, I got in my car and drove off. As I was driving away, I was staring her down when I ended up rear-ending the person in front of me. FML

You didn’t take a photo with your phone after the accident? That would have shown her to be on the wrong side of the road.

If it there were witnesses and/or cameras, you would still be in some trouble since you drove without an insurance. As for the scene of the accident, were there no pictures taken? If police were not called to the scene, you should have taken pictures to prove that she was indeed driving on the road side of the road. You should have also taken pictures of both her car and your bike to prove the severity of the damages. I will not be surprised if she went home and damaged it even more so that she can slap you with an even larger lawsuit.

The nerve! You improved her car and she wants to sue you? I guess, maybe she didn’t want you to make her car better.

Call the police, normally you can reconstruct a accident based on evidence like tire tracks, shattered glass, and the like.

Is this a motorcycle or a bicycle?

I think it's a motorcycle because they said their insurance expired, and most people don't have insurance on bicycles. I could be wrong though.

Lose-lose here. YDI for letting your insurance lapse, but FYL for the stupid woman. One of my biggest pet peeves is people driving while on their damn phones. Nothing is so important that you can't pull over or take the call/text later. And it's even more irritating when the person on the phone drives stupidly and pulls this kind of crap, then acts like it's not their fault for driving unsafely. Ugh!
