Man... You said a mouthfull there.

I have only been in a three accidents in my driving experience. None
were my fault but they all occurred back in the good ol' days - pre 1970.

In every case, settlement was pretty routine and prompt and no lawyer
was ever consulted.

But I fear that today's situation would be drastically different. It
seems that no one is up to facing their responsibility. As a result, the
trial lawyers are enjoying a field day.

BTW, if you are in a physical damage accident only, forget about any of
these guys offering their services. If you're injured, they'll be
banging down your door!

Grrrrr
