Accident Part 2: The Unexpected Miracle

     If you read my last post earlier this month, you already know Adam's without any compensation for an accident where another driver swerved into his lane and totaled his car. It was a very weird series of events that unfolded leading to that.

     Here's the miracle that happened since then:  We got a letter in the mail from a different insurance company that had nothing to do with the accident according to all we'd seen and heard from police reports and insurance companies. Our own insurance did a search they said and found out "the other car has no insurance on it according to its vin number and plate number".  Well, according to the letter we got, a 3rd company was trying to contact Adam because THEIR insured customer had been involved in an accident CAUSING damage to Adam's car. They were admitting their client was at fault, and wanted to pay Adam!!!  When does that EVER happen?!  Maybe it was because the driver was given a ticket of some sort at the scene, according to Adam & his brother?  Maybe the driver borrowed someone's car, that had no insurance, but he had to use his own company to pay to have their car fixed so he had to report it? Either way, there IS insurance covering his damages!

     Since the last post, they fully admitted to being at fault, paid for Adam to have a rental car for a week (which really helps when we're down a vehicle). They paid him a reimbursement check to cover getting his car from the impound and having it towed to the garage for estimates. They also agreed to an amount a few hundred dollars more than he paid for the car! All should be done within another week or two, between Tim having to sign off on all of it, Adam working 60+ hours around Thanksgiving and Black Friday at Target, and getting a day off so he can test out a few cars for sale before buying one.

     My prayer when we first heard there was "accidentally" no collision and no uninsured motorist policy (it's part of collision, not a separate policy) was that God would intervene, reveal all the truth needed so Adam wasn't stuck without a car and compensation for his loss. I prayed that somehow, the path to all of this working out right would be "made smooth".  Sure enough, that's exactly what happened. Do you believe? I do!
