Before suing, you know, you could actually talk to the girl who hit your brother's car and see if she agrees to pay. Much simpler than a lawsuit.

If they are illegals, that's typical. It may not even be their address. Maybe a relative's or a friend's or something. I'll stop there, because we don't want to make it an anti-illegal threadOriginally posted by: crawford
On the accident report it says their address, so I know that they live in an apartment, so they definetely do not own a house.

Thats what I was trying to avoid, and I didnt even mention it in the first post. Although it definetely has a bearing on the situation. Its hard to mention it without sounding racist.

There's nothing racist about it. Illegals (of all races) are a drain on our country economically and lead to situations like this.

Sue the bitch
if she's young, sue her parents or the owner of the car ?
If she's decent, I guess you can always pimp her out.... or have her work it off somehow

I know it's too late for your brother in this situation but maybe this will help anyone else reading this thread.
Get Uninsured Motorist and Underinsured Motorist coverage on your policy. I live in Phoenix and go with Progressive, part of my 6 month policy:
UNINSURED MOTORIST $13.00
$25,000 EACH PERSON - $50,000 EACH ACCIDENT
UNDERINSURED MOTORIST $5.00
$25,000 EACH PERSON - $50,000 EACH ACCIDENT
$18 every six months and I'm covered. It's worth $3 a month.

Basically what happened was a young girl in a camaro hit my brother's audi. She messed up, he was at the wrong place at the wrong time and his car is now totalled. His arm is beat up from the air bag but he's OK. His car was a '99 A4 with some aftermarket stuff, we managed to pull the stereo out before it was towed. He loved that car to death.
We just found out that their insurance went out THE DAY BEFORE the accident, and now my brother is screwed. So my first question is, is there anything that can be done about this? From what we have seen their family isn't rich. Their insurance is Safeway insurance, it seems shady and I guess its a pay-by-month plan and they stopped paying a month ago.
Second, we also found out that our insurance company had my brother's car on just liability, so there is no help to be had from them. I don't know how that happened but that's niether here nor there.
I dont think there is anything that can be done, besides pay for the towing and my brother's new car out of our own pocket. I guess this is more of a rant than anything.

I talked to my dad (who is the owner of the insurance) and he wasnt aware that uninsured driver was NOT included. It's his fault for not being aware but it sure is unfortunate that not realizing a stupid thing like that will leave him out of 8 grand.

So you mean that form that they make you sign...the one that says "I agree to decline underinsured coverage <initial here> and uninsured coverage <initial here> <signature> <date>"...he was asleep at the time?
