Truck type: Supercab Styleside
Engine 4.2 EFI-SPI
Cylinders: v-6
1999 F150

I had an auto accident, on September the 8th, 2010 in my 99
Ford F-150XL, I was at a dead stop, they were at about
45MPH, they claimed the obvious liability and immediately
after the report was completed of course, I drive and
continue to church, the truck is shaking and broken when I
press the gas sometimes it got worse. It took about the trip
home from church, and 2 more times, to realize it wasnt safe
to bet on making it to point B anymore. 2 weeks pass as I
wait on the report, I then WALKED to get it..lol to find out
who the insurer was. This was a friday, as soon as I reached
them, bam he tried to handle it, he had my truck
immediatletely picked up via tow. And Enterprise scheduled
to pick me up, well fail. Enterprise didnt, I immediately am
stuck in a weekend, begin my trek to work at 7am on a
Saturday in full contact with everyone, I arrived late, they
seperated me for this that week. The point is, that is a
loss of wage yea, and so on, well after wrestling with the
adjuster(S) I went through, they brick walled my
conversations from the get go, they refuse to look 'past the
truck bed' since it was a rear end collision. Playing it on
words, as in I am claiming 'front end' etc.. it was never
appraised correctly, or estimated on correctly. Because both
of those people admitted they didnt start my truck one time.
I am unable to diagnose this for them as I am no mechanic.
Come to yester day, sworn statements state this complaint,
well. it was a stop on the insurers end, they didnt and
wouldn pay for even an estimate! So i had them log it of
course, the guy that drives my truck around gets out saying
'gah lee' shaking his head in the obvious un road
worthiness. I immedately have an idea where I was gonna take
it, but didnt even make it to the stop sign, the truck
shakes itself to off. ok. Another bodyshop, a block down,
has one of their guys help me off the road and to their shop
(this is not even 3 minutes after leaving.) they plug it in
and it gave two errors, one notifying me of the E.G.R. Valve
Malfunctioning, and the 3rd Cylinder is misfiring. Now keep
in ming they spend almost $4,000 on this repair just on
body work alone, it was a serious smash, they had to correct
the frame and all. But I have to now 'figure out' if the
E.G.R. Valve and the cylinder misfire, could 'possibly be
related to' the mass of metal smashing through my truck.
THE OBD II Codes are p0401 and P0303 How is or could it
be possible and/or explainable? I am aware of the common
pop up of both of these problems. I just need how could they have
began or, been forced into starting at the immediate point the truck
was smashed into?I am no mechanic, and am totally lost! I have no
knowledge of any type of collision, mechanics and so on. please help me
figure out how I can say my truck is not repaired, and how
do I show or have that capability of discussing such a thing
like the E.G.R. and Cylinder? Keep in mind, these people are
the most rude agents I have ever seen, I have over
documented the whole process on purpose. I must get some
kind of determination in regards to the two problems. and
how they can relate or cannot, to the violent upheaval of my
truck occured! Thanks!

 

Hire an attorney.

 

They won't take cases without a neckbrace. seriously. notice the not mentioning of medical treatment. It's because I went to church and cant honestly. Im a single father, and hospital = babysitter needed which in turn = pointless.You try though honestly, anonymously via telephone, call around and use my story as yours and watch. It's no joke.

 

Go to your insurance company and have thier Dogs go after their Dogs. I'm sure that your insurance company doesn't want to insure an unsafe vehicle.

Honesty is one thing, but what you have to keep in mind is that you have suffered a loss through no fault of your own. The insurance company is only going to pay/take care of the minimum or less. NEVER TRY TO HANDEL SOMETHING LIKE THIS ON YOUR OWN, they will eat you up every time.

 

lol well that's somewhat the issue, and most of the problem i guess. I am very much mentally capable of handling and preparing all of it, if I had actual time to take the action. The entire process is over documented, every call recorded on my end, every correspondence is scanned and archived into 1 PDF file i can or may toss around for representation at any moment I catch wind of one, every text message, walking trip and additional hindrance and loss. ETC. I have, funny scenario, but not so much honestly, TWO OTHER pro se cases I am handling right this moment. I am battling the Department of Labor and my former employer, since I exhausted the unemployment process, and I am taking them both, by myself to Judicial Review, in Fulton County Superior Court, as I had worked there 4 years with perfect attendance and visit 2 doctors in 1 day the second admitted me into the hospital for 16 hours, caused my employment to be terminated although I followed protocol and reported to work before my next shift with 2 doctor notes. Yea... im in the right here too. And I also heard the same thing on the custody of my daughter too, dont go alone, etc.. but do to the lack of funding, and my daughters unsafe conditions, I prepared a case regardless, petitioned for, and got total sole custody, all by myself. No one will represent me in any of these cases, one just wrapped up. But lawyers will not help me. So I dont accept that. Im right about my child, im right about my truck, im right about my job and all the loss with all of them together, which will be by the way, the final thing I do, hold the former employer as liable for ALL of this, even the truck issue, in punitive damages. Im not kidding. Oh and not to mention the 323 applications I have out, while 24/7 having my daughter, calling 1/2 the list on Monday, the other on Wednesdays.. lol. It's ok, I dont cuss anymore. But I am 28 years old, and can manuever the law, (I am P.O.S.T. certified) but I dont know jack about mechanics of a vehicle. Which is why that explanation of the 1% chance is VERY important, because it happened. So I need to know how to explain it. So I can further explain their lack of attention. I have caught the insurance company already 4 times, and that results in a new claims adjuster assigned to me only, the next time I call, and by the way, they need to hear 'it all' over again, resets the whole process on my end, and I still sit with 1 child, no truck, not one dollar, and no help. So yea, I will not be oblivious to anyone ever, especially not them. I think 10 steps ahead of them. I got that part. I just cant advance without any kind of way of putting the damage together in my own mind, or literally. AND THAT SIR, sucks.

 

As he said you need to contact you insurance and explain all this to them if they are like my insurance company they will go after the other company and it will get fixed there is also a possibility they can get you some compensation for the lose of your job if I read correctly it is related to problems from the wreck. Good luck.

 

yea. loss of wages. im working on it. but regardless, i have to figure that out. how to speak on the possibility of the violent impact on the truck, causing the problems. Hope I recieve one. blahhh

 

Please explain how your former employer is responsible for the damage to your truck. Was he driving the vehicle that hit you ?
I also think your statement the "But lawyers will not help me" is pure hogwash. You may not have the $$ or be willing to spend the $$ to retain them but they will work for you if your willing to pay them.
Good luck with resolving your issues, being a single parent can present some interesting and stressfull challenges in life ( I've been there ) I also hate to come across as a total A$$ but I pick up a lot of "whining and poor me" from your post.

wow, how randomly insulting this forum is turning out to be. No, its not 'hogwash' they will consulate, but without a doctor seeing me for my medical claim they will not take or help me on the case. The 'poor me' your referring to, is the very detailed description without documentation, I expect people to be curious as to the truth in any scenario, but assuming a lack of integrity right off hand, as the correct method of labeling someone, is a way to trigger happy mentality. Just saying. Since you must know everything to be conclusive in your belittling statement. I can prove the lack of attention if you like, or better yet, explain how the Judicial Review I just petitioned for at the Fulton County Courthouse, is for negligence and the misrepresentation of administrative court procedure, and the misapplication of constitutional statutes. Unemployed, since March 4th, I have done odd and end contractor work, but I hit a snag with the automated denials in the Dept of Labors random give authority to anyone hiring fest this year apparently.

So to summarize, my unemployment claim, is for a full time job, for the last 4 years, with not one absence. I go to a medical clinic on a Friday, get screened and presription etc.. (recieve Doctor note 1 clearing me for absence)and am getting ready for work, take my daughter to my moms, and next thing I know I am waking up. Almost at the Emergency Room, she (my mom) had caught me on the floor, unconscious and off to the hospital she took me, I was admitted for 16 hours, attempted to reach the employer via cell texts from the bed itself on a random wake up kinda moment, and the next morning I was released with all papers, slept for a couple hours, and reported to my employer before my very next scheduled shift, with my first absence, in 4 years, and 2 doctors notes, I was sent home in limbo, and released about 2 weeks later. Not one dollar since has came to me. I have fought two evictions, my own custody case, and now an insurance company, but I have my daughter, I could not get an attorney on this matter either, sir. I have revamped the Legitimation procedures in the state of Georgia with my website, cause and petition. Just so you know. Since you must. No lawyer will help me, because I am indigent, but I have all proof, all the time. Legal Aid denies help, THEY ALL DO. BUT THIS IS A WASTE OF TIME FOR ME TO SELL MY INTEGRITY FOR YOU, SIR.

Regardless, no woe is me, more like why is this information not more readily known to the 28 yr old single father guy who grew up with no mechanical ability. Or better yet, how is it possible? Oh it's some more forced into litigation. Considering I can speak for my self, as absolutely not one attorney will assist, in any court room in rookie form, I will continue regardless. I just cant fathom any type of possibility nor do I have this awareness to understand, on how I have to figure out, exactly how to 'show & tell' as it would pertain to this play on words, to battle the irrational and bad faith acting huge company, like they are. I said it before, I will again. Call around your own area, in my exact situation, use it for your story. Watch and see. This Lookout Mountain Judicial Circuit is 'hogwash'. Not me, I am correct in wanting what I have had taken. I have 4 archived and shrunk down in size PDF files, with all these separate entities divided in totality in and for my documentation. The unemployment, for example, is around 180 pages now. Like I was saying, easily shown, but not progressive, and definitely insulted. I pick up alot of "Judge Judy" there. The former employer issue is available for download! But I think, to serve this thread, & it's purpose better, we should focus on the problem at hand. An explanation. Thanks.

 

So go see a doctor !!!!!!!!!!
More then likely, no attorney will take the case because they feel there is No Case. Where is your auto insurance in all this, turn the truck matter over to them. This is what you have insurance for.
Not that you are obligated in any way to answer my earlier question but your last post didn't explain as to how you figure your ex employer was responsible for the damage to your truck.
My best friend is also a single father raising a child, he to is indigent. Because he is "indigent" he gets fuel assistance, reduced electricity costs, free health care for him and his child or a maximum 5% co-pay, food stamps etc. He also buys a new laptop when he needs one or wants one, he just bought adapter so his WiFi gets better reception and he can pick up other peoples unsecured networks better, he spend 3 or 4 hours a day at one the local coffee shops, he just bought himself a new LED flat screen TV, but he is "indigent"
I apologize if this comes across as insulting or belittling but the word "indigent" carries No wait with me, and as far as the whining and poor me comment. I am almost twice your age and I have been on this earth long enough to know that. If it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck, it is most likely a duck.
I sincerely wish you the best of luck getting your issue's resolved, your health is the most important and valuable, for you have a child that depends on you.

 

Dude whatever you are ranting about is useless. If you contact your auto insurance company and let them deal with it they will unless their is something you are negating to tell during your ranting session. Need I remind you that you asked for advice we offered it if you don't like it then oh well! Sorry if this offends you but two different post were made telling you to contact your insurance if you are saying they won't help then I would find a different insurance company.

 

P0401 could be caused by the charcoal canister being cracked, its located above the spare tire. Fix the 401 first before you try and diagnose the missfire

as far as the legal stuff, dont sign any paper work at all until everything is made right. And get a lawyer.

 

His last post totally contradicts his own story. At the beginning of his post he say's that no lawyer will help him or take his case without him seeing a doctor for his medical claim.

[QUOTE=sortwright;4392706 but without a doctor seeing me for my medical claim they will not take or help me on the case. [/QUOTE]

And then later on in post he say's that No lawyer will help him, because he is indigent.

[QUOTE=sortwright;4392706No lawyer will help me, because I am indigent,[/QUOTE]

Which is it ?
I am also wondering if he isn't turning the matter over to his insurance Co. because he has no insurance. His original post makes NO referance to him being insured.
He complains that no laywer will take his case, yet he states that he hasn't worked since March and he has not had one dollar come to him since. If he has no money to pay a laywer, why should they take his case ?
I am also under the belief that you cannot file for unemployment benefits if you have been fired. Maybe I am wrong on that. I have never been unemployed so have never had to file.
There is more to this story then were were being told.
To the OP. Please understand that no one is purposly trying to insult you.

 

I seldom get mixed up in stuff like this, but I have a VERY hard time believing half of this stuff. I'm certain the original poster is going to take what I say in a very insulting manner, but so be it.

Companies just don't fire someone for one absence incident like this. There's something else going on here - and I'd suspect that they were looking for an excuse to get rid of you anyway. If what you say is completely true, you have a pretty good case to take to the labor board.

If you are truly "indigent" ask your church for some charitable assistance. That is one of their functions. I don't see any way for you to pursue a resolution to this mess without some funds. If you have no mechanical abilities, the truck is going to HAVE to go to a shop to be repaired so you can drive it.

 

The attorney told me their is a case, there is always a case. But they don't go for anything that will not award them a decent purse. Subtract a medical claim from 99% of Auto Accidents and you will get a lack of treasure for the lawyer, when they see this before hand, you get my finger point circle of death. But also, I am not oblivious, I know the law, and their own jurisdictional and circuit procedures, along with their own code of ethics before I even consulate. There greedy, but thats not breaking news, I am just wanting what I lost here mostly. I sure would 'go to the doctor' like all of em' but thats a molestation of the court system, for something that should not have to be a possibility, I also have to take lie detector tests in my career field. So we tend to not lie on purpose, atleast I dont anyway. Especially federal offensively.

My insurance company was Progressive, the coverage did lapse. But I was covered at the time of accident. They are placing it on the liable insurer in totality. And have also locked up on me.

.....yea. It explained it fairly accurate in the sense it created the complication issue financially only. You asked that question about the employer because I simply stated at the end I was, and still have a case upcoming that has not even began yet, and due to the discriminating separation, and total disregard for their own, the FMLA, FLSA, OSHA policies. Caused me damage, a TORT claim. And that damage also includes since the time of occurring or in-curing , the inability to properly defend any court matter. The average individual would have access to the funding for. It is simple, open and shut. No need to complicate it with whether or not that is believable. Because you are right in assuming it's not, it is unbelievable. I was tempted to post the link to the entire archive located inside of one PDF file with all of it in order for you guys, but after some hesitation in time management, i didn't think this would turn into 'that' discussion on this board, I can seriously start it though.

In regards to indigent carrying weight, with you. I respond with simply stated, irrelevance carries no weight in an attempt for solution via any discussion. And in response to your age, I have always respected experience, but I have seen a lot myself, any if your truly as wise as you say, you know that you have never 'seen it all' and nothing is truly impossible ever, and that, application of a 'quick to judge' attitude, is close minded, and the exact opposite way to approach any type of preparation or understanding. I just myself, regretted a lot of things in life, but never my silence, and have learned never to speak unless in these cases unless you've seen obvious preparation of proof before you, usually. Also I do not wish to remind you or myself that this IS actually serious, and IS the actual truth and IS my currently paused button, so the smile, for most closed minded individuals, shows happiness in this, and that serious bothers me but I also digress, as this has branched off way too far from the tree of relevance I needed it for...lol.

So that is why I did not 'story-wise' (simply put) build my scenario up efficient enough for a total grasp in that genre of obviously impossible to occur' category, i'm not your myth buster, although I do understand the need to feel obligated at announcing first or initiating the controversy as to seem capable at being sufficient at making stereotypical judgment and all with the "I heard a quack" and all that, i'm glad and/or hope, I assisted your appearance at being witty and all, or at having you think I just read that and stare in awe at your higher intelligence or something.
