My son has been convicted of DUI.
At the time he had a minor car accident - going into the back on a minicab with 2 passengers.
Insurance will not cover him. It is my car and policy. They will settle the claim with the other driver and the passengers and then pursue my son for the full amount. He does not have to pay for the insurance co effort which is a blessing.
Passengers have jumped on the personal injury bandwagon. Awaiting the claim from the driver.
I have found out through online vehicle check that mincab driver is driving a 10 year old car that has already been written off twice (note to self - only use a reputable mincab firm that insist on newer vehicles)
My son will end up with a massive debt to pay off in addition to his punishment through the courts.
Anyone else had to go through this pain? WOndered how far they go to get their money back and how much effort they put in to reduce the settlement fee.
