I was hit by a Safeway insured on Memorial Day. He rear ended me in front of my apartment as I was about to turn into my driveway. He didn't speak English and had an out of country drivers license (Mexico). I refused treatment at the scene, but did go to the ER the next day. I have been seeing doctors almost every other day since the accident.
After the accident, a friend told me that the Atlanta news did a story about Safeway and their crooked practices... I was thinking, GREAT!!! Then I started to do research on the company and found this site. I immediately started calling the corporate offices in Illinois, to see if that could help expidite the claims process a little bit.
I did get someone to look at my car 2 days after the accident. She totaled it. Now I am dealing with my adjuster, Laurie Kuter, to get some kind of numbers. She told me it will take WEEKS AND WEEKS to get a police report. My agent at State Farm said it shouldn't take more than a couple of days to a week, once the car is seen and determined totaled.
I am also injured from this accident, lost my jobs because of the accident and going broke from the expense of this accident... And it wasn't my fault. I can't file under my uninsured motorist, because this guy has insurance. But the insurance company doesn't seem to want to go forward with my car. I have no idea what to do. I need to get a car (in Atlanta its a must). My car seems to drive, but I don't even know if its safe.
Is there anyway a class action lawsuit can be filed against this crooked company? There has to be a way to stop this injustice to their consumers (the poor people that cough up the insane premiums) and the vicitms of the insured. I don't know much about getting into an accident, all the other times that weren't my fault, the accident was taken care of expediently and proffesionally. This is just an ugly nightmare, thats going to just get worse once I try and recover my other damages.
What we all really need is a support group!
