My insurance paid me for the repairs, truck is being fixed right now, however they agreed to pay me down time and expenses and they keep giving me the run around and ask for more and more information, I stopped at my tax returns, I gave them several pay stubs and receipts on hotels, rental car, everything with documentation, they do not need my tax returns from the last three years. This guy who owns the company is really pissing me off. His crappy driver hit me and he can't even pay me while I have to sell all of my possessions to pay my bills in the mean time. I hope he eventually gets what he has coming to him in the form of karma, and I already have a lawyer working on the case and we're going to add financial suffering caused from there delay tactics.
Watch out for these guys and their drivers

Thank You, for naming names. Good luck with your lawsuit, I hope you get everything deserved, and then some!

Any idiot can see that. -
So update to the situation, hired a lawyer and she called them last Tuesday, haven't heard anything from them yet, next step is a certified letter, and if they continue I'm suing the brakes of them. I will add interest, pain and suffer ring caused, and a bunch of other crap and then he is gonna pay big time. I hope I never run into the ***hat that owns continental express. He is a crook and a thief and I hope he gets what's coming to him one day.

Been there done that. In 5 years you might get a settlement.
passingthru69 Thanks this. -
Another update received truck today from Peterbilt in Altoona, Iowa. Fantastic repair job. Can't say enough about how pleased I am with the work they did. Can't even tell it was ever hit. I'm super happy with them and I am going to use them in the future when I need repairs. Rick in the service department in particular made my life a lot easier. If your in the Des Moines area these guys do good work.
Ssand Man, PhilKenSebben, Lonesome and 1 other person Thank this. -
I'm hoping you get this resolved asap. What a terrible crap situation to go through.

Sorry, but I just don't see how an accident can be considered "negligence", unless they really dropped the ball on the background check or hiring of the driver involved.
What happened to you, Mr. Bunt, is exactly what keeps many of us out of the O/O seat- the looming possibility of being in debt and out of business after one accident.
And that's why so many long-time O/Os here on the forum advise those thinking about it to have a rainy-day fund of several thousand dollars.
I'm very sorry for your situation. However, it could have been avoided on your end with better planning and savings. That takes nothing away from the fact that this Continental Express character is playing the game and riding a broken system with you in tow. In other countries, even private drivers have to settle up at the scene of the accident, not years later.
