Today, I had a bad feeling about walking to work because of the weather. Instead, I drove. My car slid on the ice and I created a four-car pile up. All three of the other people involved have decided to sue me. I should've walked. FML

Thanksgiving
Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
Today, I slid on ice and hit another car while driving to work. My car was totalled, and my leg hurt, while the other car had very little damage. Not two minutes later, the salt truck drove by, spraying the road. FML
Today, I thought I'd wear my snow boots so I wouldn't slip on the ice at work. I crashed my car because I can't feel the pedals with my boots on. FML
Today, I lost control of my car on a patch of ice and slid off the road, messing up my car. I was working on a news story about bad road conditions. FML
Today, I tried to walk on the sidewalk. Actually, it was so slippery that I had to shimmy across it. Then I shimmied too quickly and fell down. Now everything hurts. Maybe next time I should bring a sled. FML
Today, I walked to the end of my driveway to pick up the newspaper. I read the front page that was talking about people who have been getting hurt from slipping on ice. Laughing about that thought and walking up my driveway, I slipped. FML
Today, I drove into the parking lot at work, and discovered too late that there were patches of ice everywhere. As I turned to enter my usual spot, I lost control of the vehicle, and despite my pleas, praying, and profanity, it glided straight into my boss's car. FML
Today, I was walking home from work, when I slipped and fell on a patch of ice. I clambered back to my feet, made it three feet, then slipped and fell again. A guy who'd witnessed the whole thing stuck his head out of his car window and yelled "Dumbasssssss!" FML
Today, I offered to stay late at my delivery job because it was snowing and several people called out. An hour later I got rear ended. FML
Today, I stepped out of my car and slipped on a fresh coating of ice on the ground. I tried to catch myself by grabbing the car on my way down, but unfortunately, I was trying to grab with the hand that was holding my car keys. I key-scratched my own car. FML
Today, it was snowing. I slipped on the ice and fell in the middle of the road, dislocating my left shoulder and knee. As I was screaming in pain and trying to stand up, two boys on the pavement threw snowballs at me while everyone in the cars just drove around me. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

That's not really your fault though. Cars do slide on ice. No one knows when it will happen.

You should probably never trust your gut again

You'll probably need a decent lawyer but the sues shouldn't pass in court if it was just an unavoidable incident.

It's not really your fault... Like my dad said, "Good tires will get you thru snow but nothing will get you thru ice." I hope everything works out.

Not a lawyer by any means, but I've heard you're only responsible for the car you hit and if they hit someone because you hit them, it's still their own fault, because they didn't leave enough distance to prevent hitting them.

yes! get a lawyer OP. or at least speak to one. no way you can be responsible for all 3

not in estonia. the last one pays all since it's impossible to figure out who made the biggest mess to the 1st car.

how does one sliding on ice in their car make them an idiot? walking, okay, you can see or feel the ice...but in their car?..

Cars slide on ice, dipshit. It happens. How was he an idiot?

I'm assuming you've never had a ticket before, at least not from an accident...they put the weather condition on the actual ticket so not only would that be taken into account. but so would your driving record. you should be fine. but I'm assuming the idea to sue you started from one pissed off mouth and was spread to the rest of the pissed off mouths. it'll be extremely difficult to actually sue you

Also, as far as I know, unless she hit all three cars, they are all getting charged as well. If she caused one car to hit another, she gets charged for hitting one and the other car gets charged for hitting the other, and so on.

So "my car" slid but "I" created a pileup? Your Freudian slip is showing...you did something stupid and caused a problem, didn't you?

Don't worry op I think your insurance company will dismiss is it
Publikwerks 14
I wouldn't worry about it much - tell em to eff off. They only way you see any of this is if they sue above your policy limits. If you get sued for way above your policy limits, your insurance will represent you, and if there is one thing insurance companies have, it's lawyers. They will settle at your policy limit and cut their losses. You may have to file a affidavit stating that you are more or less poor, and then they will leave you alone. A lawyer isn't going to charge into court fighting for money they will never see.
