Woman Sues Republic Services For Damages To Her Pickup Truck

Then she should've countered their initial offer with the adjuster's written appraisal. But no, she's invoking all kinds of irrelevant, dramatic BS to try and taint potential jurors' opinions in her favor.

 

That's exactly the dramatic, irrelevant BS I referenced in my last message. The fact that a water main broke under her street is totally and completely irrelevant to this case, and so is the fact that her grandfather helped her buy the truck. The only thing that is relevant is that Republic's driver was negligent in his operation of the garbage truck therefore Republic owes her a replacement of equivalent value.

There is no circumstance in which the damage to that truck or the replacement cost thereof, combined with a reasonable amount of money to cover her costs while she was without a vehicle, adds up to even a fraction of $3M.

 

I know my folks would have laughed at me if I tried to say being in the truck when it got scraped traumatized me.

 

She should have countered with maybe 5 times the value. An insurance company is never going to pay the first number you throw at them.

 

Just another case of stupid entitled people.. they live and breed among us. Actually they probably breed at a 3x multiplier to smart people
