Insurance form staments

[TonkaToys]

Oldies but they still made me laugh!

I'm an accident investigator, so I find these very funny.

In almost every one of these statements you see the same pattern:

A Driver trying to mitigate his or her own fault. It's never their fault, always the other guy. Or the hedge. Or a pedestrian. Or a telephone pole.

I was working for a road assistance company for 9 months. My department was responsible for going at the accident scene, take pictures of the cars/location/signs and assist the driver in completing his Insurance Accident form, then making sure everything is correct and forwarding the forms/pics to the Insurer.

...I used to process about 40 cases per day or so and I can tell you that statements like that are extremelly common, even when someone experienced is there to assist the driver...

In many occasions the driver is in denial, or he really thinks that his forged version of the story is 'the perfect crime'

I ve seen a lot of weird cases, including:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
A priest who wrote something like ' I was driving on the highway and then suddenly out of nowhere a car appears next to me and I hit it, then suddenly out of nowhere another car miraculusly appears and I hit it too. I cannot take an oath but I am not to blame.

Who is to blame: I do not know

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

I was parked and when I returned one car was parked in front of me and one behind be, very closely. While trying to unpark I hit the front car and then the one behind me.

Who is to blame: The other two cars

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

It was snowing and the road was icy. While I was driving I lost control and hit two cars

Who is to blame: THE ICE!!!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

The most classical lame exuse is the 'stop sign' excuse. People dont stop to check at a stop sign and they end up having an accident. About 30% will say:

I stoped and checked at the stop sign, there was noone coming, then I started moving again and "suddenly out of nowhere" a car came and we crashed.

Who is to blame: the other person! ( THE NOTORIOUS INVISIBLE CAR?? )

( a variation of this is that they dont mention the stop sign...which though is on the pictures...so then the Insurer can accuse em of a false claim )
