Presto News   •   June 13, 2022

I started my day looking at the calendar and seeing that it was the 13th, a Monday. Shouldn’t be unlucky, that is reserved for Friday the 13th, not Monday. So off to work I went. A Five Star Driver for Uber.

One careless moment by VIA Officer Clyde Bankston changed my life forever.

VIA – The Destroyer of Worlds!

This event occurred on June 13th, 2022, and it will be my second Christmas without a resolution.  VIA has done nothing to make this right. I’ve hired a law firm,  and my lawyers tell me that VIA is drawing it out and delaying, no settlement and this is normal because VIA has nothing to gain by settling. Even though they are 100% at fault as seen in the dashcam video.

The accident destroyed my health physically, mentally, and financially and sent me down a lonely path of X-rays & MRI, pain management, chiropractic treatment, and traumatic brain injury treatment and therapy. With my car totaled and the insurance from Uber, Progressive only paid $11,000. on a 2016 Nissan Altima I had just bought for $16,000. putting me in the hole for $5,000. just on my car, now on my credit report, nobody will give me a loan. On top of everything I am now $116,000.00 dollars in debt for past medical bills.

It took me over 9 months to get walking again without a cane. All that time in treatment and therapy I was unable to work, I fell behind on 9 months of rent, and past utilities I’m still struggling to get taken care of and pay off. I’ve had to borrow high-interest loans in the first months afterward just to have food for me and my dog. I was forced to file for SS retirement just so I could start paying rent. Now living on about a third of what I made driving for Uber.

Below is a stopwatch from the day of the accident that VIA has done nothing to make this right, nothing to bring me back whole.
