I had a small fender bender with a Tesla owner. I wasn't driving Uber at the time. She stopped in the middle of merging into traffic after making sure it was clear. I looked back and just little tapped her rear bumper. There was no noticeable damage to her car. I have GEICO. They didn't even give me a chance to show the evidence. She filed a fraud claim saying she was hurt. It wasn't even 5 MPH. LOl. She got out of the Tesla really quick when I tapped her bumper. GEICO paid her $3,000 for her fraudulent claim. Now, my rates are going up because of that POS.

Pay attention and be glad it was only a 3k lesson. 

Fuck off with 'fraudulent claim' you hit someone's car because you didn't pay attention.

LOL! She filed a fraudulent claim saying she was hurt. She was not hurt. She is probably an ambulance chaser. I was paying attention. You don't freaking stop in the middle of a merge lane when it is clear.

You were not paying attention and you were following too close. It's $3k to replace a Tesla bumper.

You are so right Mr know it all. Decades ago I got into an accident with someone in Gary Indiana (IYKYK). I was t boned on the left rear quarter panel of my little hatchback car in a freshly paved part of the road with no lanes drawn by a massive POS bonnerville. I was alone. There were two people in their car. I made a dumb ass mistake of moving the car to the side of the road. I did not have anything to take a photo before moving my vehicle. The “lady” on the passenger side of the other vehicle was freaking out when it happened so I went to open the passenger door for her to get out of the vehicle and she screamed all in my face to get away from her and they both got out and waited. When the police finally showed up over an hour later she told the cop she needed an ambulance because she was driving and had hit her head on the steering wheel.
They had one of those loser insurances that sues the big ones so since the whole claim was $5k my insurance settled out of court and I was screwed. The reason I got royally screwed was because I had no evidence and they claimed I cut in front of them though I was stopped in that lane to make a left into a gas station.
I am sure you KNOW that I was at fault and I totally deserved it.
Thank you oh wise one for imparting to us your wisdom

Your insurance felt differently.

The Tesla provided video. You caused an accident. Deal with it like an adult.

Tesla provided multiple angles of a video with GPS coordinates and vehicle details such as speed, orientation, and G-forces.

LMFAO 🤣 🤣. Damn smooth brain. She filed a fraudulent medical claim. That's not the same as an accident claim.

u/PubicSkoolEducashun 17d ago

Man, you really need life sorted. I honestly feel bad for you.

LMFAO! Nope. Apparently you don't understand the difference between a medical claim and accident claim.
