The following are copies of actual written statement collected form various
|
|||
|
|
auto insurance companies in Northern and Southern California. The drivers were
|
|||
|
|
instructed to give a brief statement on the particulars of the accident in their
|
|||
|
|
own words.

|
Coming home I drove into the wrong house and collided with a tree I don't
|
|||
|
|
have. The other car collided with mine without giving warning of its
|
|||
|
|
instructions. I thought my window was down but I found out it was up when I put
|
|||
|
|
my hand through it.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
I collided with a stationary truck coming the other way.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
A truck backed through my windshield into my wife's face.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
A pedestrian hit me and went under my car.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
The gut was all over the road. I had to swerve a number of times before I hit
|
|||
|
|
him.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
I was on my to the doctors with rear end trouble when my universal joint gave
|
|||
|
|
way causing me to have an accident.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
As I approached the intersection a stop sign suddenly appeared at a place
|
|||
|
|
where no stop sign had ever appeared before. I was unable to avoid the
|
|||
|
|
accident. I told police that I wasn't injured, but upon removing my hat I found
|
|||
|
|
that I had skull fracture.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
The other car attempted to cut in front of me so I, with my right bumper,
|
|||
|
|
removed his left front tail light.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
I had been learning to drive with power steering. I turned the wheel to what
|
|||
|
|
I thought was enough room and found my self in a different direction going the
|
|||
|
|
opposite way.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
I was thrown from my car as it left the road. I was later found in a ditch by
|
|||
|
|
some stray cows.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
I pulled away from the side of the road, glanced at my mother in law and
|
|||
|
|
headed over the embankment.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
The gentleman behind me struck me on the backside. He then went to rest in
|
|||
|
|
the bush with just his rear end showing.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
I had been shopping for plants all day and was on my way home. As I reached
|
|||
|
|
the intersection a hedge sprang up obscuring my vision. I did not see the other
|
|||
|
|
car.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
I had been driving my car for 40 years when I fell asleep at the wheel and had
|
|||
|
|
the accident.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
The accident occurred when I was attempting to bring my car out of a skid by
|
|||
|
|
steering it into the other vehicle.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
I was unable to stop in time and my car crashed into the other vehicle. The
|
|||
|
|
driver and passengers left immediately for a vacation with injuries. An
|
|||
|
|
invisible car came out of nowhere and struck my vehicle and vanished. I saw the
|
|||
|
|
slow moving, sad faced old man as he bounced off my car. The indirect cause of
|
|||
|
|
this accident was a little guy in a small car with a big mouth.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
I was backing my car out of the driveway in the usual manner, when it was
|
|||
|
|
struck by the other car in the same place it had been struck several times
|
|||
|
|
before. In my attempt to kill a fly I drove into a telephone pole. I thought I
|
|||
|
|
could squeeze between two trucks when my car became squashed. My car was
|
|||
|
|
legally parked as it backed into the other vehicle. The pedestrian had no idea
|
|||
|
|
to go so I ran over him. The telephone pole was approaching fast. I was
|
|||
|
|
attempting to swerve out of its path when it struck my front end.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
To avoid hitting the bumper of the car in front of me I struck the pedestrian.
|
|||
|
|
I was sure the old fellow would make it to the other side of the road when I
|
|||
|
|
struck him.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
When I saw I could not avoid the collision, I stepped on the gas and crashed
|
|||
|
|
into the other car.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
I was taking my canary to the hospital. It got loose in the car and flew out
|
|||
|
|
the window. The next thing was his rear end and there was a crash.
|
|||
|

And you wonder why it takes weeks, sometimes months to receive
|
|||
|
|
restitution from automobile insurance companies? It takes them that
|
|||
|
|
long to decipher what their clients are trying to tell them.
