Ryan,
HFD hit my sister's car which was legally parked in midtown. They were on a call and probably never heard the collision. We have the police coming. There are witnesses to the collision. Anything we can do to get a claim expedited? Car is not drivable. Any input or info is appreciated. Thanks!

Call 311 and ask to speak to the Legal Department subrogation section.

I can get you a better number when I get back in the office, if that doesn't work.

Did they hit it from the front? Did they hit it from the side? Did they hit it from the back?!

Several years ago while working as a paramedic, my ambulance was hit during a police chase by the perpetrator fleeing after robbing a drive in grocery. After calling a backup ambulance to pick up my patient and my partner who was in the back, I waited 3-4 hours for HPD before being told they didn't have a unit to investigate and I should go to the nearest substation the next morning to file a report.

Guess they were all out checking for seat belts and registration underneath the overpasses. They can't pay the bills by investigating a hit and run or burglary.

Same happened when I was hit by an illegal, uninsured alien.

Some "unlicensed, uninsured" driver ran stop sign and hit me when I was driving a company car ... with a dead body in the back. That was a good time.

You can't post a story like that and then leave without giving more details!

I had the dead body in the back. I worked in the funeral business for five years. I was on my way back to our facility after picking it up from the hospital when it happened. Nothing really interesting about it.

Remember - only 11% of all crimes get solved. Can't expect too much from our public servants.

You should have gotten out of the car all frantic, ran to the back screaming "Chris! Chris! Are you OK, Chris?!?!" and then looked at the person who hit you and yelled "YOU KILLED CHRIS!!!"

I had to open the back to make sure the remains weren't damaged, and she figured out real quick what was back there. There was a lot of "ay Dios mio" going on.

4-pack van with a lift. I've spent more time than I can remember driving one of those.

Ryan,
City made her get 3 estimates and it's about 4k in damages. They are telling her it could be 12 weeks to investigate. Is there a way to expedite this? We have 2 witnesses who gave statements. So now she will have to file it on her insurance and hope the city actually takes care of this. Any ideas?

That's not really my bailiwick, so I'm not sure. Sorry.

File on insurance and let your company go after COH

That's what she is going to do. Just a huge cluster.

Welp, if that doesn't sum up Houston, I don't know what does.
