Yes, friends, that would be me. The original settlement offer was less than a third what I paid for the roadster. As my poor 29 sat at Jeff-s Resurrections in Taylor, Texas, awaiting my settlement. I got the runaround for months as my case got passed around like a bad cold. After refusing to accept Liberty Mutual's bullying tactics, I finally got what I was certain would be the closest thing to a reasonable settlement offer. I received the price I paid for the car plus the my out-of-pocket for transporting the 29 to Austin. The only thing that I would have to eat was the cost of my flight to go see the car and, of course, my pride. Months had passed since the wreck and all I had to show for it was a pissed off restorlation shop that could not rebuild the car for the settled for amount. After months of Liberty Mutual trying to dick me on the settlement, I was tired of fighting and worn down to a nub. But being a glutton for punishement, I negotitated to buy the 29 back from the insurance company for the value of the salavagable parts. The log road to recovery would soon begin.

I have unfortunately been put in the same situation you were a year ago. My '96 Suzuki Bandit was totally wrecked by a Lib. Mut. customer who backed up in it while it was parked on my building own parking spot and even though they accepted full responsibility for what happened I will never be able to get a similar bike in the same running and cosmetic condition with the money they are offering me. Since I constructively turned back their first offer they are not anymore responding to my emails and when I call them they are either on lunch or in vacation. Would you have collected any executive phone # or email addresses that I could use to reach someone in the company who would care about my case? Thanks!
