Insurance companies need to accept responsibility for those they insure. If this is the case then why do we have insurance in the first place? There are reasons we have these laws and it is not fair to shift the blame on the other party when it’s clear who is actually at fault.
If Ms. Kiser was even partially at fault for this accident, her insurance company would have taken care of the damages to Mr. Parker’s truck and Progressive should have taken care of the damages to her car. However, he did not even bother making a claim against her insurance.
Please sign this petition if you agree that Progressive needs to be held accountable for their insured and at a minimum, they should pay for the damages to Ms. Kiser’s vehicle clearly caused by their insured.
§ 46.2-893. Stopping on highways to discharge cargo or passengers;
school buses.
No truck or bus, except a school bus, shall be stopped wholly or
partially on the traveled portion of any highway outside of cities and
towns for the purpose of taking on or discharging cargo or passengers
unless the operator cannot leave the traveled portion of the highway
with safety. A school bus may be stopped on the traveled portion of
the highway when taking on or discharging school children, but these
stops shall be made only at points where the bus can be clearly seen
for a safe distance from both directions.
