Last time I already described about the accident under title:遭遇車禍，對方乘客索賠.
Following is more development and my current question is how much will it matter if I can prove the other side is Mexico illegal immigrant?
Recently I investigate his background. I checked online peoplefinders.com and can't find any of those two drivers and passenger record. Anyone of you can find your past address, phone number all online. If you live in US as resident, has a phone, use credit card, pay utility bill. Your information will end up on the online database. I checked many example, all people I know of can be find on that database. But I can't search those two Mexico guy on database. So they rent apartment don't use their own name, no telephone, no credit card? But they claim they are US legal resident. My lawyer (two, one from insurence and one I hired) believe it.
The lawyer did deposition to them. They admit they are Mexicon citizen. Claim they are legal resident here. They have driver license and one has SSN. They works for construction company as labor. If I can prove they are illegal resident. It means they are purjury. They contfeit the fake document. The work illgally. On the top of that they try to cheap and get money from me.
I will repeat a little background here. The guy sue me is passenger on pickup truck. The driver did not sue me We have $15,000 limit on person injury on our insurence. The guy sue us claim he did not work for one year due to injury. However, the pickup truck hit me on driver side door. I only have minor injury and rest for less than 10 days and went to work. I was in toyota corolla car. He sit on a much big truck. His truck hit my driver side door. How can he injuried more than me? He is clear fake. His hispanic lawyer work with him make this a big case and at one time he claimed his case worth $160,000. Now reduced to arround $35000 and he would accept settlement.
My insurence laywer tried to pusade me to pay rest mony plus the insurence money to settler the case. He does not want to go to court.
Recently, my research shows I can use "proper lookout" law to put fault at their side. I claim I was stopped on the road and after 2-3 seconds. His truck hit me. They claim our car out of control and stopped on front of his lane. He don't have time to stop. I have one passenger on my car and he has one passenger on his truck.
So I think if I can prove he is illegal immigrant, can I win the case? Because it obvious ly he lied about his resident status, he cheat for work. He lied under oath. Of course he lied he was serious injuried by working with his lawyer. However, my insurence lawyer keep scare me that I could pay much more in court. He press me to pay money to settle the case.
