Jason's Luck!

So Jason has been having a string of not-so-good luck events.

So about a month or two ago he got in a car accident on I-15, a guy hit him trying to miss an object in the road. Not only was his car messed up, but his back was injured too. So we had to go through the whole process of the rental car, insurance claims, and getting the car fixed. Not to mention the chiropractor appointments he had to go to, to even feel somewhat normal again.

Then he went on a work trip to Mexico, and while he was in the airport in Mexico City, he realized that his wallet had been stolen. He called me and we were able to cancel all credit cards and get him a new driver's license. The most unfortunate thing about that is, his social security number was on his old license. So we are hoping this guy just wanted quick cash, and won't scam us other ways.

And last, but not least, Jason got in yet another car accident last Wednesday! Again, not his fault. It was the terrible snow storm that day, and when he was coming home another guy was going too fast and didn't stop at a stop sign and ran into Jason, who was on the main road. This kid was about 22-years old, and late for some appointment. They called the cops, but they were so backed up from all the other accidents that evening, that they couldn't come for a few hours. The cops told them to exchange information and deal with it that way. So Jason did, but what was weird, is the kid actually had a photo copy of his insurance in his car, as well as his driver's license.

Well the kid drove off, and Jason's car wouldn't start. So he had to wait for a tow truck to take him to Ogden to the body shop.

Jason made claims with both insurances, but come to find out, the kid doesn't even have insurance. Nice!!! That is just icing on the cake, isn't it? So we are trying to figure out if we can get him to pay the $6,000 worth of damage done to our car. Luckily we have insurance, but we are hoping our rate don't go up.

Oh, and last weekend, the kid or his friend called to "prank call" Jason. Real mature! The kid left a voicemail, so luckily Jason saved it, so we can use that if we have to.

We are hoping Jason's luck gets better and things slow down just a little some time soon!

That is a lot of bad luck, it seems like when it rains, it pours.
I hope things get better for you guys.
I hate car messes. It's the worst.

Oh you poor things. It is bad enough getting in an accident but 2 and having to deal with insurance is the worst. I really hope things turn around for Jason. I hope his back feels better too. Please let me know if you guys need anything. P.S. we would love to come for a playdate!
