Hi Miss Annie,
I know you’re a very busy person but I would like to get your advice from the car accident which happened to me a few days ago.
Nasa Quezon City Memorial Circle ako, I was trying to change lanes. Naka signal na ako, and I checked my rear and side view mirror, clear naman. My car was 90% inside the lane. Then all of sudden, a fast container truck appeared beside me, natupi na yung side mirror ko pagkita ko, the pag step ko ng brakes, too late na, dumiretso sya, basag na yung right front area ng sasakyan ko, putok na rin yung gulong ko. Wala namang nasaktan. Mabagal lang ang takbo ko dahil maulan na rin.
The driver didn’t have a driver’s license, only an affidavit of loss issued on March 2013. I also checked with LTO, 2013 pa ang rehistro nya.
The police investigation team and the truck left the scene without me. I waited for the tow truck to arrive kasi nga pumutok na yung gulong ko. I’ve attached here the police report, parehas daw kami at fault. The truck was not impounded, nothing was done to the driver.
I talked with the truck owner, I found out na, kaya pala walang lisensya yung driver kasi may pending kaso sya dahil nakasagasa ng lasing at di raw fault nya yun and nag motor sya ng walang helmet. They will only pay my participation fee sa insurance.
Nasa service center na yung sasakyan and the insurance will take care of it. But I was not able to work for two days because of this, ang daming papel na nilakad. I’m traumatized too kasi sinigaw sigawan ako and I only had my friends to help me. My car company said if I want them to pay for my personal damages, I have to go to a lawyer. I want to settle this na lang sana personally kaso mukhang di willing yung other party. Naaawa din ako kasi may pamilyang sinusuportahan yung driver. At nagttrabaho sya kesa nagnanakaw. Pera lang naman ito, yung buhay ang mas mahalaga. I would feel guilty kung may anak sya at di nakapag aral dahil dito and I know how difficult life is.
I just don’t know what to do with this. Kasi unang kotse ko po ito. Pero sa takot po ako magcommute kasi ang haba ng pila sa MRT at ang daming balita about rape yung isa nangyari pa malapit sa opisina ko. I haven’t told my dad yet na nasa abroad. My mom, sinabi ko sa kanya nung pag uwi ko kasi parehas silang my health problems na at tumatanda na. Mahirap na.
I feel so lost right now kasi ayoko makasakit ng iba but I also have to protect myself too.
It’s okay if you don’t reply po if you’re too busy and if this is too much to ask.
Thank you.
(I have responded to Danica and right now the insurance company is helping her.)
