Scene of the Accident
Commentary
Anything is possible, but it seems like we have a pretty good idea of what happened here. The driver of the truck dropped his phone, he bent to pick it up, and crashed into the victim’s car. Thankfully, she’s alright and getting the proper medical attention. With the driver of the truck pretty much admitting to being at fault for the accident, there hopefully won’t be a lot of back and forth in the aftermath. Hopefully, he’ll do his part to make this right.
However, there are several things that can hold up what might be considered a “speedy” claim. And of course, what might seem cut and dry to a victim will be anything but to an insurance company. So if there’s every anything that doesn’t seem as clear as it should to someone involved in an accident like this, it’s never a bad idea to have someone looking after your interests.
