well guys, this is more of a "what do we do now" post... i will put cliff notes at the bottom for the non readers haha
anyways, the better half is a assistant gm at a local "panera bread" type place, long story short they work her to death and it's killing her. anyways, a kid calls off on a double shift today and she tries to cover it since she opened today and has to open tomorrow, so she didn't exactly want to work a double today. only way she had coverage was if she could pick the employee up. she chooses to go along with it.
she picks up the girl, and upon leaving the girl live off a divided road, one way on both sides. there is a car coming but with plenty of time to spare she decides to cross to turn left. around the white suv comes a younger guy in a black grand prix. he barrels around the suv, and looks up about 1/2 a sec before he slammed jess (fiance). he swerved and smacked the back of her neon right about where the gas filler is. the car is totaled and we just got home from the urgent care. she is banged up but relatively ok...
now comes the questions, sorry for the long post i'm still just super pissed at the whole thing and skipped about 1/2 of it...
neither of us have ever been in any major accidents, let alone a situation where a car was totaled. the kid gave ins info, but says the car is his grandpa's? so we have her dad call the ins and he calls back saying the info is not legit, calls the kid and he says he has no access to the info because the car is already dropped off at a body shop? (mind you the accident was at 5pm today, and this was around 7pm...)
we just have plpd on the car (01 base neon) and i believe her dad says we have to wait till monday for more info....
now my main question is, since she was on the clock doing something for work and there is no way she would have been anywhere near the area if she wasn't... can we do something about this? i thought if you were doing work related stuff and on a clock somewhere somehow the company was responsible? she was not at fault in the accident and the guy admitted to the cop he was going "35ish in a 25" and he received a ticket as well... where do we go from here? i apologize if it's a dumb question but again, neither of us have ever been in anything like this before..
cliffnotes:
~fiance is manager of a restaurant
~ was picking up an employee on the clock and hit by another car
~ car was totalled (in my opinion, can post pics tomorrow)
~ guy has potential bogus ins info
~ need info on what to possibly do about bogus info
~ also looking for info since she was doing stuff for the company while on the clock, can we get them to cover the car?
~ any and all help is beyond appreciated, since were really not in a situation where we can afford another car since i've been laid off since april.
