Last year I hit a lady who was walking across the highway. It was pitch black and she was wering black. I never even seen her. I got a letter yesterday from my old insurance company (I switched last June because my rate went WAY up) saying that the lady has filed suit for $750,000.00 !!! Of which I am liable for $350,000.00. Is it possible she can win this lawsuit? I was not charged by the police. I was obeying the speed limit.

Do you think we should give identity theft criminals access to waste from Afganistan as part of their punishment. Surely they would be able to track Bin Laden quciker than us, they certainly couldn't be worse than the US army.

This question is actually for a friend of mine. She is serving in the Coast Guard and has been sexually assaulted by another military person at her base. She reported it and been transferred to another base in another state. She was required to meet with the Coast Guard's psychologist who found her "unfit to remain in the military due to developing Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) as a direct result of being raped. She met with a civilian psychologist who confirmed that she has PTSD however she is making progress and getting well.
She been temporary assigned to the new base for 6+ months until they finally gotten all the paperwork to officially assign her to that base. Since she joined the coast guard and met the time requirement to make rank she made numerous requests to go to "A-school" to become a petty officer but each time was denied. The first time, prior to the rape she was denied because she has not gotten fully qualified. For instance first they told her to become watch qualified and that she would have her name put on an A-school list. She because watch qualified and requested again to be put on the A-school list and was denied and said that this time she must become boat crew qualified so she did and after being boat crew qualified she was again denied saying she must be engineer qualified (even though she is a seaman) but a few weeks later she was sent to her current unit.
After reporting the rape she asked her new command if she can go to A-school and was denied because there was an investigation going on. After the investigation was over she asked again and they denied her because there is a medical board going on to discharge her because she has PTSD.
Her old command wrote up "page 7's" which is negative statements that would be on your permanent record. One page 7 stated that she "has an inappropriate relationship that resulted into her choosing to be rape and a captain mass against her for inappropriate relationship is recommended" she never did have the captain mass because her current command thought that was complete bullshit that her old command is faxing over papers like that to headquarters and her current command. Her old command also would constantly contact her new command when her new command would do something positive (like give her good grades) to fight it and would bring up personal medical things (for instance they would say that one day she forgotten to take her medication and she took it at lunch instead of before breakfast and went against her doctors instruction so therefore you cannot give her a good grade in her following orders) oh yes and when I am talking about her old command I am talking about the guy who is the highest ranked there. Her old base has less than 25 people so it's not unusual for the highest person there to know what is going on with everyone at the base. Her new base has over 200 people. According to the medical department at her new base her old unit went against medical privacy laws.

She wrote up her rebuttal statement and included everything that her command did and when the statement from the coast guard psychologist, civilian psychologist and her statement trying to defend herself did it normal rounds on the base they realized that this girl has a valid reason to have developed PTSD so they now telling her that they want to discharge because she is found to be unable to adjust to the military lifestyle. Those who work directly with her on a daily basis disagree and think that she is doing just fine, if not amazingly well. Those who are in higher rank that she rarely or never see reads the things her old command is writing about her and want to discharge her.
She spoken to a Coast Guard lawyer to stopped answering her emails or returning her phone calls when she submitted evidence that she was raped in the form of the guy writing her a letter apologizing for what he did. In case you are wondering they dropped the investigation because they found "nothing" even though there is a letter written by him that clearly states his apology for the sexual assault.
I been friends with this girl since we were kids and it saddens me to see her go through so much stress. I never met anyone who is smarter, more motivated or a harder worker than she is. She is in the process of getting her master degree, she was vice president of her university, founded 3 successful businesses and 1 nonprofit and all she wanted in her life was to serve her country and to make a career out of it.
Any suggestions on what she can do? I am telling her that she should sue her old command for 1. Forbidding her to advance even though she met all the requirements that were put out by the commandant. 2. for spreading personal health information about her without her permission. 3. for discharging her for the sole reason of developing a curable problem which a doctor confirmed that she is healing.
She does not want to make things worse than they already are. Any advice is highly appreciated. Thank you.
