ONE OF MILLIONS – My Story…

Do these Match?

Chat GPT: In a car accident, the ‘objective reality’ refers to the actual events that occurred: the collision, the sequence of events leading up to it, and the resulting damages. ‘Objective reality’ encompasses the physical aspects of the accident that can be measured, recorded, and verified by multiple parties.

On the other hand, ‘subjective perception’ involves the individual experiences, interpretations, and feelings of those involved in or witnessing the accident. Each person might perceive the event differently based on their perspective, emotions, and personal biases.

While the ‘objective reality’ of the accident remains constant, the subjective perceptions of those involved or witnessing it can differ significantly. This is why investigations into accidents often involve gathering various perspectives and evidence to build a comprehensive understanding of what transpired.

Sooo… Truth vs untruth, right vs wrong… I start here and now – sharing a story and education… 

On July 27 2019 I was rear ended at high rate of speed – approx 55 mph by a vehicle that had to pull in behind me to hit me… The rental vehicle I was driving was totaled. The vehicle the defendant was driving, also totaled. He was the driver – his vehicle owned by his boss.

There were no eye witnesses – 6 am on a Saturday… I was meeting 2 people at 6:30 am, I emailed and they showed up at the site of the accident and saw the aftermath… They were not interviewed at anytime over the last 4 ½ years. So much for ‘further investigations’.

• The accident occurred in a new turn lane, see photo below. Distance measures about 700 feet beyond where I pulled in, then out from the Rite Aid, which was 2 lanes wide. I was about to turn right at the light from the new turn lane.
• “J_” changed lanes into mine and hit me by pulling in behind my car in the ‘turn lane’. See 3 clear painted lanes by *Rear ended.
• “J_” was not driving within control of his vehicle in a 45 mph speed limit zone.  Damage seen on car photos should confirm this.
• Instructor and student, showed up at the accident site approx 6:30 am, we were there until my vehicle was towed- approx 9:30 am. Google Earth is clearer than it was 4 ½ years ago. Look up on Google Earth –  Sunland and Fenwick, Burbank CA and review my description in the image below.

The vehicle owner, the vehicle driver and I all had the same Insurance company, just different agents. As a result, 4 ½ years later, there is no end result. I will be sharing all public documents when the case closes, but for now, just want to share – I’ve read nothing like these filings.
Defense states ‘there is a way to protect yourself’.
Really- please explain? when a car pulls directly in behind me in a turn lane at an intersection, him – driving the speed of 55 mph while I’m signaling a right turn, going slow to make the turn… Seatbelt didn’t hold me, air bag didn’t deploy – I hadn’t touched the brake in a way to set the air bags off… My forehead hit the steering wheel full force.
Soooo.. The back up camera emits a force field that lifts the car 15 feet up off the road? … Kind of like Star Trek – “Beam me up Scotty” kind of action… I’m not familiar with that new vehicle feature…

This is the other teams answer from one question regarding the request for answers from defense. I was finally given documentation that had been written and filed Feb 2020-Jan 2-2023… 

“Objection: This request invades this responding party’s right of privacy, is impermissible, overbroad and therefore is oppressive, burdensome, and irrelevant to the subject matter of this action. However, without waiving these aforementioned objections, and in the spirit of good faith and cooperation, this responding party responds: Defendant’s vehicle was totaled.”

Tip: If you find yourself involved in an accident situation, First – you will exchange registration information, Drivers licenses, car insurance. I suggest looking up the accident site as I did above on google earth. Write out everything you can remember about the accident. Make annotations on the map – be clear and concise. Be sure to call the police to come write a report. If they won’t come – tell them you will call an ambulance to come check you out. Get a report from 1 or 2 eye witnesses. If you don’t  get witness and police reports – you will end up like me and walk away without a policy honored, without a case – you will walk away with only a story. No financial compensation what so ever. It could be a person is covering up an accident that they had the night before.

This makes it very important to take many pictures of the vehicles so an expert can compare damages and investigate anything that doesn’t fit or make sense.
Here are some vehicle photos I took, along with some from an un named photographer… It seems that an investigator could simply look at the car damage and determine if the damage all happened in the same collision. This isn’t ‘burdensome and irrelevant to the subject matter at hand.’  It is expected investigative answers…
tell me what you think. See anything I should be aware of?
I hope the information I shared will give you ideas of what you need to consider if you are in a car accident.
