Bad news from SGI today. Our friend Randy refuses to acknowledge that he (driving his car) was at the scene of his accident with me. Since his car is now totalled, there is no way to match up the damage with my car. SGI now says they can't do anything about it, and I have to take him to small claims court.
I spent the rest of the day driving around collecting information for my case. While I have nothing strictly physical, I have a lot of compelling information in terms of when I phoned police, ICBC, and SGI. I haven't sued anybody before, but I intend to do it properly.
The ironic thing for Randy is that, if he loses, he will have to pay the whole $1400 to repair my car, whereas if he had come clean but refused to admit he was drunk, he probably could have gotten away just paying his $700 deductable for the accident and letting insurance cover the rest. But we already know Randy isn't all that clever.
Posted by warcode at October 17, 2002 05:55 PMDude, that is *lame*. What a wanker. You should write a cron job to dial up his house at ramdon hours saying "Drunk driving is for losers. Drunk driving is for you. Loser."
Posted by: bricode on October 17, 2002 06:05 PMMaybe watching Law & Order all these years will actually help out with your case. Hopefully your lawyer will be like that hot, hot, dark haired one. Chances are though that he won't even show for his case (what, like he's going to *drive* there?) which means you're gonna kick ass.
The way I see things: he totals his car because he's drunk, you have a totaled car because he was drunk, you called the cops AND SGI (and ICBC), what for shits and giggles? You have no prior knowledge of this guy except that he's a fucko, and named Randy.
Posted by: bricode on October 17, 2002 06:26 PMdo you have mister randy's address?
paging doctor easton, doctor easton, to surgery...
I will have his address soon enough. I have to mail him a letter of demand, which he will ignore, then two weeks later I get to mail him a summons.
I haven't decided which lawyer connexions to use just yet. I am related to a bunch of lawyers (second cousins), plus I have a friend whose dad is a partner at a law firm, plus I played volleyball with a lawyer. Not to mention my ties to the former Dean of Law at U of S (currently the president of the university).
I bet all Randy has is his drinking buddy and his finger up his ass.
I want to win this so badly. This guy is such a cock.
Posted by: warcode on October 18, 2002 12:42 AMI wonder if this log means that he can't get a fair trial anywhere with internet access.
Also, I worry that bricode is referring to Abby over Claire. That just won't do.
Posted by: sav on October 18, 2002 08:31 PMDon't worry, this is small claims court, not the Supreme Court of the State of New York. It's just a judge, no jury. Think "Peoples' Court" or "Judge Judy".
Posted by: warcode on October 19, 2002 02:20 AMdude, winning this is going to be too easy. you need more of a challenge.
i say when the court date comes, you show up drunk.
