Members Johnny_Crab Posted February 12, 2009 Members Share Posted February 12, 2009 Greetings! Scenario:A relative in a Florida college has two friends borrow his car to go on an errand. While on said errand turning left on a green arrow, a wonderful person in an SUV runs the redlight to the right and T-Bones my relative's car right in front of the passenger's door. Car is totaled(picture NASCAR T-Bones), jaws of life extract relative's friends, junked car is dragged onto a hauler. Law enforcement gives neither party a ticket because "there were no witnesses" other than the two now-hospitalized friends and the SUV driver. Florida is a partial "No Fault" state. Texas is not. Who pays for what?Driver has secondary(?) coverage on parents' policy.Relative is hearing that his insurance pays everything, plus he's out of a car, plus his rates would go up(or get cancelled), etc.Is my relative hosed because someone else FUBAR'd? Thanks for your input current and past Floridians! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members collinwho Posted February 12, 2009 Members Share Posted February 12, 2009 You can always attempt to file a claim with the other driver's insurance. They did get the other driver's information, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Johnny_Crab Posted February 12, 2009 Author Members Share Posted February 12, 2009 Thanks all. Sucks for this college kid because he's kicking a$$ in his classes, good kid, no parties or BS, and then this gets dumped on him.My guess is he'll NEVER let ANYONE borrow ANYTHING again.
