That’s awesome, my mom was driving my sisters car when she lived in florida and a government employee driving a federal government suv hit my mom in a cavy on the thruway. It was pretty typical florida driving. The guy just swerved into my mom. My sisters insurance had to sue and it took years. She claimed it through her collision already so she had money at least right away, but it took years for her insurance’s lawsuit to finish, then she finally got a check for her deductable and the rental.
