"becoming a nation of wimps" was a phrase that could have been used several decades ago. We are a nation of wimps currently. What are the ones that aren't wimps going to do about it?

They are not out of touch! They are pandering for 20 million or more votes. Who cares if you are a resident? Pull the lever for me!! Before you know it, that 20 million votes will become 50 million. At that point you better take care of what you leave documented on the web. Using our sacred vote to keep this country the great institution of yesteryear may have long past us by.
Viva la Mexico!!!! Bite me

They'll do some more moaning about it on an internet forum.

mori beat me to it - but I will say my family votes a straight anti-illegal immigrant line.....as probably do most of the webchat anti open beaner border folks....if they vote....
20 million illegals will turn into 60 million votes in 18 years with their children. The parties don't want to make them mad and lose their votes for the next 50 plus years. I wish there was a solution. not sure if INS would have done anything with the illegal from the accident
Anyone else smell set-up here? Staged accident maybe? Probably a bit severe for that but still a possibility. Glad you're not backing down.

Swoop-and-squats are common in southern CA. Someone tried it unsuccessfully with me over in the East Bay a few years ago.

I reckon back to one of the wisest Americans I ever heard speak,
Smokey (Chris Tucker) in "Friday". It was a timely message then, and even more so now.
It would make a great comeback for when the guy handed you his cell to talk to his lawyer.
"You just got knocked the f### out!"

I have an update. The guy in the first car was admitted to the hospital and is being run through a whole battery of tests. It appears that there is pressure from the Mexican government and of course our government has the backbone of a slug. He will not be deported until all the tests have been completed and the court case against me is completed. On another note the other car, the one that hit me has not been registered for seven years. The tow truck driver said that all the tires were bald and had flat spots. He said that he sees that on these cars when the brakes don't work on all the wheels. He said there there was a skid mark from one tire leading up to were he hit me. One of the tires was a high pressure spare and he said that the three other tires were all different brands. The though I had was these illegals are driving on public highways mixing it up with people and putting us all at risk. Even with rising gas prices these illegals are a good argument for not going too small for the sake of economy.
With the rights these illegals have ... why don't we all move to Mexico then illegally come over here? I'd love to pay no taxes, get preference in medical hospitals, and have the law (insurance) on my side!
If anyone hits me I am going to take out my disposable camera and take all the pictures I can. I'll also be keeping an eye out behind me from now on - if someone is coming at me fast and I'm stopped - I'll hop out and make sure they don't leave.
Stories like this really get me mad. And illegals wonder why we hate them so much. Think I like a huge portion of my check going to pay for their medical operations? Go figure.

As to the original accident, at least down here the car that hits from behind is at fault.
Dad was involved in one, when a young guy fitted a V-8 to his Kingswood and kept the 4 wheel drums.
Lady slowed suddenly to turn, causing a heavy braking cascade for 3 cars. All were slowing when kid in V-8 couldn't stop, and drove into Dad's car, forcing him into the one in front and so-on.
The process involved the car in front attacking their rear ender's insurance. That got rolled into the third car's insurance, then those three cases got rolled into Dad's insurance.
Should have rolled into the kid's insurance, but he didn't have any. So it stopped at Dad's policy.
Insurance company was supposed to sue the kid but apparently cut their losses, as all of the witnesses were never called.

Same here....but in a daisy chain fashion......and since the original beaner hitter ran, guess who is next?
This story stinks of a set-up.

If the fault can not be settled as in my case because the party that caused the whole thing left, then because lawyers still have to make a living it’s the fault financially of the person with the money. If that were not the case how would the lawyer get paid? This whole thing is only about money.

20 years ago I was in a taxi (MB W124 wagon) and the cabbie nailed the car in front of us. The cabbie was smoking a cigar at the time and the airbag got him good. I suspect getting a donut splattered all over your face isn't as bad as getting a burning cigar jammed into your mouth and across your lips, cheeks and eyelids. Was it a Krispy Creme?

In a setup the car behind would not have had 5 people in it, and usually the accident is the fault of the one being set up. Here, clearly, the Accord was at fault.
But maybe it's some new trick.

There was a classic case in Canberra, which basically kicked of the whole compensation crackdown with 14 related people in a two car pile-up (6 people in a mini).
After that, rules were changed that no compensation unless 15% total and permanent disability...insurers love it.
