When Sean was in a car accident, he didn’t know how he’d be able to bring a court case.
It seemed like a normal day. Sean was stopped at a red light on his way home. The screech of car brakes behind him was the first sign that something was wrong. Suddenly, a car rear-ended him, jolting him forward and causing major damage to the car he had only owned for six months.
He had minor neck pain and a major car repair bill in front of him. Coincidentally, he and the driver who had rear-ended him had the same insurance. Sean was checked out at the ER and then phoned his insurance. They offered him a small settlement that he knew wouldn’t cover all his bills, especially if he had to miss work as a flight attendant. “What they offered, I just didn’t feel like was substantial,” Sean says.
