| Description of the problem | I have experienced 3 separate accidents on may 31 2006, august 2 2006 and september 20 2007 with the 2006 jeep commander limited. I had just left the stop sign in the first accident and proceeded into the intersection of a 2-way stop. My vehicle stalled and i collided with a grand am. The driver of that vehicle has filed a civil action against me in which metlife auto & casualty has hired an attorney to represent me. I was found to be primarily at fault for this accident. The lawsuit is claiming i was negligent. The second accident occurred when i was turning around to get a better "shot" into a private driveway. I successfully turned around in a parking area across the street from the driveway and i was in the process of entering the driveway when my vehicle stalled and my driver side front bumper was struck, breaking the tie rod. The police and the other party's insurance found the other driver who was 93 to be at fault for the accident. The third accident occurred on september 20 2007, when i was attempting to turn left on a green light from a turn lane. I was in the process of turning left when another driver who was speeding collided with my vehicle which had stalled during the left hand turn. The passenger front bumper was damaged including a broken tie rod. The other driver's insurance has determined i am primarily at fault for that accident. |
