Rodeo, you are yet to explain to me how a tire hitting a car can cause:

1) Injuries--a tire hitting a car will do no more than dent the vehicle.
2) Loss of income--how does a tire hitting a car cause loss of income?
3) Loss of earning potential--how does a tire hitting a car cause a loss of income?
4) Loss of personal property--the only personal property in question here was damaged, unintentionally. The defendant's insurer is responsible for repairs and the plaintiff's attorney is responsible for subrogating for the cost of those repairs.

Sorry, but I've yet to see a case like this that is legit. The old guy knew how to act at the accident scene so that he could sue later. The request for policy maximums was so that his attorney could offer to settle for her limits. That's the real tipoff here--they didn't say how much loss he had suffered and try to get that amount, they first were trying to figure out how much they could get so they could build a dollar amount bigger than that and then offer to settle for policy limits.
