by providing yearly income statements for the past few years I bet you could sue for loss of income. Also property damage. Who knows, maybe the brother will cough up money for you!
good luck

Thats why I told you to not let up and press the issue as hard as you can with the police and the DA. He deserves to serve time,what he did is inexcusable. I think lawsuits are for the most part trivial and ridiculous but find a lawyer and sue him and the business civilly independent of the settlement for equip etc and be careful about accepting a settlement that that ties the 2 things together. He's a piece of sh*t who makes a premeditated choice and this aint the first time if hes functioning at a BAC that high. If he has to lose everything he has thats his tough you know what.

Gotta love it when the adjusters come out and they say things like "f'n idiot", "holy sh!t", and "I can't believe this"
It's even better when you're talking to the adjusters outside and the DUI guy happens to drive right by, on the way to his house (he lives right up the street, literally only seconds away) and you can point and say "That's him, can you believe he's still on the road?"
I gave the adjuster prints of my photos for him to send to the home office so they can see what their guy did!

Mike, the level of incompetence in the professional world is astounding. I see it every day, understand it, but don't accept it. I mean, everybody makes mistakes, but businesses like insurance companies should have their stuff together, communications wise, *much* better than they do (referring to the adjuster not knowing the whole story behind the claim). It really can't be that hard, ya know? It's supposed to be their JOB to know!
Myself, I have been fighting with the Yellow Pages for THREE YEARS to get my bill straight. Three years. Finally went to the BBB, and had to mention a harassment suit in order to get some (verbal) satisfaction. And this is with "the" supervisor. I still don't have paperwork stating that i'm in the clear, nor an apology of any kind. Absofreakinlutely amazing.
Keep pounding on those knuckleheads. Pound hard, and don't be afraid to get ignorant. I have to dig reeeeally hard to do so myself, but it had to be in the YP case. It may be a long road to the end from here.
And as for that jerknut still behind the wheel... ooooh man...
Good luck.
