Dish Network
Injured in Crash With Uninsured Contractor Truck, Left With Bills

On October 2, my 13 year old boy and I were on our way to the park when a truck ran a light and hit us nearly head on at an intersection. He was a Dish Network contract employee who was in San Antonio on a 3 month contract from California Dish Network office. He was actually in between calls when the accident occurred. I broke my ankle in 2 places and was out of work for over a month. My son is still having issues with soft tissue injuries. Come to find out this contractor had no car insurance and my insurance did not cover me and my sons injuries so now I am stuck with all the bills.

How can Dish Network get away with this? How can they not be held liable? They should be ensuring their contractors are insured before allowing them to work. I can't get any lawyer to help me because there is no guaranteed insurance money. It's beyond wrong. I'm a single mom who is the soul provider for my child and not only is this a major amount of money out of my pocket but now I'm left with an ankle that is in constant pain. This needs to change, companies must be held liable for their contractor mistakes!!!
