A lady i ran over with my bike 8 years ago wants me to pay her $13k. What do i do? - General

How did you even

she cant fucking charge for medical bills from 8 years ago. I dont know any retarded lawyer that would even take that case.

[QUOTE=magepro99;23948945]Run her over again, this time with a car. Just to finish the job.[/QUOTE] My suggestion is better :colbert:

I'm wondering just what kind of injuries she got from the collision. And, yeah, it's rather out of the blue for it to be 8 years later. Yeah, she might've had trouble finding the kid, but if he's been of age for 2 years, then she had 2 years to bill him.

Is there like no law that says stuff you do as a child can't be held against you? In the UK any crimes committed as a child are ignored when coming an adult. I think

OP's name is Gaylord.

Also surely you can't be blamed for your brakes failing, it's not like you get bike MOT's

[QUOTE=Leaf Runner;23948889]Seriously, the lady could just call the guy's school from then and ask for a picture, or consult OP's dad, among many, many other things. Proving it would not be a problem at all. Society needs more people like you. It's you who makes the U.S. legal system absolutely great and not abused at all. No, really, re-read the shit you just wrote. That was extremely stupid.[/QUOTE] People can not ask for information on student from a school. The likely hood of finding someone that knows the op is very unlikely

Ignore it.

deny the fact that it ever happened Say you never even learned how to ride a bike. Then when she brings you one to prove it try to balance on it and fall off imiditly, She'll feel bad that you cant even balance, Then claim you cant because you have vertigo. Say tyou then had a friend when you were that age and you shared the same name. And say that last year he moved out of state to mexico. The end. She stops buggering you, and you dont have to pay. WE ALL LIVE HAPILY EVER AFTER THE END!

Just ignore it. I don't think she'd have a leg to stand on in court (no pun intended)

[b]She is not suing for fucks sake, it is a medical bill. Totally [highlight]fucking[/highlight] different.[/b]

[QUOTE=CRASH ABRAMS;23949007]OP's name is Gaylord.[/QUOTE] dont make fun of the guy that started earthday.

op you copy my avatar and just deny all claims

[QUOTE=johnT447;23948989]Is there like no law that says stuff you do as a child can't be held against you? In the UK any crimes committed as a child are ignored when coming an adult. I think[/QUOTE] According to law any crimes done as a minor is cleared and cannot be held against you.

[QUOTE=Leaf Runner;23948889]Seriously, the lady could just call the guy's school from then and ask for a picture[/QUOTE] A) how does she know what school he went to B) how does she know he even lived there at the time C) no school is just going to hand out pictures of a kid from eight years ago because some random woman asks them to [QUOTE=Leaf Runner;23948889]or consult OP's dad[/QUOTE] Again, how does she know he's his dad? She doesn't even know who the kid was, except for a name that was shouted out that she may not have even heard [QUOTE=Leaf Runner;23948889]among many, many other things.[/QUOTE] such as?

[QUOTE=Evil Potato;23949052][b]She is not suing for fucks sake, it is a medical bill. Totally [highlight]fucking[/highlight] different.[/b][/QUOTE] ah, prego my friend. Its her medical bill tell her ass to pay it. Next time DONT GET HIT BY A FUCKING BIKE.

[QUOTE=Evil Potato;23948927]She can't do jack shit. You were a minor when the incident happened so you don't have to pay anything. If you feel obligated to pay her but don't have the money, work out a monthly payment with the woman. If everyone was held responsible for things they did as children, a lot of people would be S.O.L. If I were in your position, I would ignore the bill and send her a sincere and heart felt apology for what you did and I would explain that you don't have the finances to cover the cost.[/QUOTE] I feel bad for the woman, but this is the truth. She'll probably be more reasonable once she sees you're a real person and not just that nightmare figure from her memory who likes mauling helpless old ladies with his 2-speed aluminium death engine.

[QUOTE=Evil Potato;23949052][b]She is not suing for fucks sake, it is a medical bill. Totally [highlight]fucking[/highlight] different.[/b][/QUOTE] Yeah, but I guess the idea is that she sent him the bill as sort of a threat of possible legal action. In reality I don't think it's much different than me breaking my leg and then sending my medical bill to your house. You have no obligation to pay it.

As many people are saying, consult a lawyer and see if she can even ask you to pay in the first place.

I think[/QUOTE] Im in the US, bud. Also, the bill was for broken leg, physical therapy, a buncha shit. What about emotional damage?

[QUOTE=Leaf Runner;23948748]As much as FP is probably going to tell you "hurr pretend its not u screw govnment" you ran over a fucking lady and got her 13k in medical bills. Unless you want to come off as a complete douchebag by denying it all (and probably have her sue you) meet her in person and talk it out nicely. Ask her if there are other ways you can pay her, such as helping her with issues or working for her. Also you're a dick for biking off after running over a fucking poor lady. Consequences will never be the same.[/QUOTE] His brakes failed, his fault entirely at 12 years old?

Anyone else think Leaf-Runner is being a total bummer? Any how, Just deny it I don't think anyone will care when some old Russian lady with Alzheimer's complains saying "This kid ran me over 8 years ago because of a faulty bike & I know it was him because I heard his first name"

[QUOTE=Xevious;23949143]Im in the US, bud. Also, the bill was for broken leg, physical therapy, a buncha shit. What about emotional damage?[/QUOTE] She can't just send you medical bills after 8 years.. she should have filed a police report and had it done at the time. No judge would ever enforce such idiocy in a court of law. It's no different than me sending my medical bills and physical therapy bills to your house and a note saying "you did emotional damages to me pay me like $500 please".. its worthless, she cant do shit.

Get your insurance company to pay for it.

Just ignore her.We all know old people, most of them forget in like 2 days :v: But what if she is one of those...the ones...who dont forget :ohdear:

[QUOTE=Evil Potato;23949052][b]She is not suing for fucks sake, it is a medical bill. Totally [highlight]fucking[/highlight] different.[/b][/QUOTE] That's right, she's appealing to your decency, a true gentleman should call her the very least. I'd talk to her and see what really happened, then try to find a solution explaining your situation. Dad probably would help.
