While many drivers are careful, a car accident changes things dramatically. Even the most cautious driver can make rash decisions, especially if they or a loved one is injured. Often, the most desired aspect a crash victim seeks is normalcy. In other words, they just want their life the way that it was.
This can cause a number of issues. One is because of the way the insurance system works. Insurance adjusters' jobs are to be as discerning as possible with claims. This means that in many cases, companies toss out legit claims. Many insurance companies pressure their clients into taking the lowest amount of money possible. In others, bad faith insurers refuse to pay out at all.
Often these different concerns are caused by common mistakes made by drivers after a crash. One is to accept an offer from their insurance company without consulting their attorney first. Furthermore, some drivers do not document the scene of the accident. Taking photos and including notes from the scene establish what happen. Victims and their attorneys interview witnesses to get a fuller picture. In some cases attorneys work with accident reconstructionists to lay out the whole situation. All of these have their own place in the overall picture.
Many crash victims don't think far enough ahead. Often long term costs, including rehabilitation are ignored. Furthermore, many do not realize the trauma of pain and suffering following a crash. Many aspects of an accident cannot be fully realized until after. Thus, in some cases the family of the injured see a very different lifestyle. A skilled attorney helps reduce the chances of such tragedies.

Anatomy of an Interlocking Pattern: My Side
Patterns develop around our responses to significant (usually traumatic) life occurrences and manifest as a recording that, when played, seems to temporarily take control of us. It's important to remember that the pattern is not the person; it's actually an external, rigid, repeating, non-survival value recording that opposes the flexible, creative, loving behavior of the rational, thinking human. Patterns can affect every aspect of our existence—mental, physical, spiritual, behavioral—and when re-stimulated or triggered, prevent any forward movement or progress. Patterns are all about the past. — taken from Nekole Shapiro's Holistic Peer Counseling (HPC) curriculum
The last week has been an exceptionally difficult one for my husband and I because we've been uncovering more information about our core pattern complexes. In truth, whenever this happens—and no, this isn't the first time—it totally fucking sucks; it's painful and embarrassing; I get sunk intermittently in my shame; I want to disappear, maybe even die in that childish way that yearns for release from the responsibility of living.
Both Brendan and I were born into dysfunctional families suffering at the intersection of rape, oppression, isolation, abuse, depression, and neglect; his significantly more so than mine. The scars we bear as children of these families makes it obscenely hard for us to prioritize care for ourselves, have healthy boundaries, trust others, trust our bodies, be parents, and maintain consistent, nourishing social interactions.
When we met, we had both done personal work including Landmark Education, anger management group therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, and embodiment work. By the time we decided to make a baby together 18 months later, we were committed to healing and re-parenting one another, an embodied birth, and raising our son in a way that was diametrically opposed to how we had been raised. We actually had no clue what we were in for when we made those commitments.
Patterns affect our inter-personal relationships all the time; in fact, it's not uncommon to gravitate toward a relationship specifically because the other person's patterns interlock with ours. — HPC curriculum
My mother was not adequately resourced when she gave birth to me. (I laugh even writing that because goddamn what an understatement.) My father kept her terrorized, abused, and isolated, which was pitifully easy given that she'd been brought up under the influence of a patriarchal church that taught her the man was in charge, taught her to honor and obey, taught her to be meek and never prideful. She thought all men were relatively honorable, upstanding men of the community like her conservative, wheat-farming father and her brothers.
As a result of her near-complete lack of support, she leaned on me more than was healthy for either one of us, especially after my baby sister was born when I was 2-1/2. I was her Big Girl; the reliable one, the helpful one, the one who learned to always make time and space for Mommy's distress and pain. There was a lot of pain. Both she and I had to live with the consequences of her shameful marriage, his sexual abuse of me, his all-encompassing abuse of her, and his eventual abandonment of us when I was 5 for less-complicated pastures. We became emotionally enmeshed and fiercely co-dependent.
There was scant room for Little Chrissy's pain, thoughts, dreams, or concerns. Because Mommy's distress filled the room, sucked up all the air, and entertained no competitors—not even her daughters. I had no choice: I had to support her, had to supplant myself and keep her healthy because otherwise I would die or she would abandon me. She was my survival line and I loved her. After all, look how much she suffered just to keep her head up and food on the table; how hard it was for her to live with the daily shame of Going Back Home in disgrace after a violently failed marriage. Someone had to stand up for her.
As the years went by and my mother honed her Victim/Martyr patterns, I unconsciously began to hate and resent both her and her ever-present demands regarding who I should be and to whom I should give my attention. In fact, in addition to my growing perfectionism-bordering-on-OCPD, I developed an acute case of what I now know to be demand resistance. From Too Perfect: When Being in Control Gets Out of Control:
Somehow, "I want" turns into "I should." In fact, the phrase "I want" is a rarity in their (the obsessive's) thinking and their vocabulary. Instead of "I want to," they usually experience and say "I ought to", "I must," or "I should." Volition is replaced by obligation. […] This is a childhood safety-seeking maneuver that becomes ingrained in the obsessive's character, a maneuver that comes to serve many motives:
– People who need to be above reproach are often most comfortable when they feel their decisions/actions are being dictated by outside forces.
– It's harder to criticize someone who's "only following orders," as opposed to one doing something he initiated himself.
In the obsessive's worldview, where conscientiousness is king, it's better to be fulfilling one's duty than satisfying one's own needs. But the cost of unconsciously disowning one's desires are high. […] When most of your activities feel like obligations, you can reach a point where nothing gives you pleasure, and life feels meaningless. You don't feel like an active participant, but instead experience yourself as a passive recipient, grinding away at the obligations that are laid upon you. You may feel powerless; you may lack a clear, stable sense of self.
Without a clear identity, a solid sense of self, or a clear sense of what you want, you feel insubstantial, passive, and more vulnerable to external influences, especially the wishes of others. Because you feel (at an unconscious level) as if your sense of self can at any moment be overrun by more powerful outside forces, you are compelled to guard against people who seem strong or intrusive, or who get too close. […]
The obsessive learns that withholding gives them power, keeps them in control. "When I know somebody wants something from me, I don't do it. It's so automatic, it ends up being more important for me to hold back than to decide what I want. I balk at expectations simply because I perceive them as demands."
Demand resistance is closely connected with interpersonal control. First, it's a way of safeguarding one's fragile sense of self by refusing to be overpowered or controlled by others. Second, it is a way of reassuring oneself that one can have a subtle impact on—and control over—others by frustrating them.
This is exactly what I do to Brendan; it's what I've done to him for the entirety of our six years together. Because (as the person I currently love and am beholden to the most) he represents Mother in my personal constellation. The problem is, Little Chrissy and her gang of feral compatriots don't yet understand that we can make choices about who we help; that we now have tools and insight and loving compassion. That we now have an identity and a semi-solid sense of Self.
My side of the interlocking pattern is "IF I help you, I'm not going to do it unless you're half-dead with need and bleeding out on the floor; because that's the only way I'll know you aren't a threat." Brendan's side of the interlocking pattern (as I currently understand it) is "No one ever helps me because I don't matter and am worth nothing except for what I give. So I will give until I'm dead." See how nicely those fit together?
Brendan has pointed out facets of my pattern over the years, but because it's SO core to who I am and permeates literally everything I touch, it's been impossible for me to see in totality. More importantly, it's a slippery fucker, needs to defend itself vigorously against attack, and the character of Brendan's pattern allowed it to continue doing so.
The experience of falling into a pattern is generally unpleasant due to internal conflict and imbalance: while the pattern itself may be defensive, our psyches prefer to be rational and integrated. As a result, we may defend our patterned behaviors fiercely, which usually occurs because our psyches see no alternative and are deathly afraid to change
It's important to remember that it is the hardest to see someone else's pattern clearly when that pattern is triggering our own. — HPC curriculum
My pattern of demand resistance has been particularly hurtful and destructive toward Brendan because he is the primary parent to our 4-year-old son. And as any parent whose paying attention knows, the primary parent requires a LOT of support and help; in fact, I theoretically believe the majority of any family's resources should be going to make that parent's life easier because there is NOTHING in this world so hard as giving loving attention to a small child for 10–12 hours a day. Nothing.
But all the theory in the world hadn't succeeded in making traction on loosening my patterned resistance to helping him any more than was required or convenient for me. I bring home a regular paycheck, help out with household chores, do the evening/bedtime routine, and take point with Avery on the weekends. Beyond that I get obstinate. Withholding. Resistant. In fact, I've been listening to him report an ever-increasing need for time and resources during the day for well over a year. Heard him say that he's struggling specifically with X, Y, or Z.
I have offered my loving attention and given him heartfelt words of understanding. I have not offered concrete acts of support beyond what I already perform. I have watched his health and physical well-being deteriorate; watched his sleep suffer; watched his frustration rise. And I have waited. Resisted. Turned away.
I say these things not to beat myself up publicly, but to call attention to something I perceive is a fairly common pattern among women raised under patriarchy. And while our situation with Brendan playing the "mom at home" role and myself playing the "dad at the office" role isn't conventional, it doesn't really matter. Because we didn't need to be parents for this pattern to show up in our lives. I certainly didn't; it was present in my first, childless marriage too. Of course, the being parents part certainly intensifies the need and tightens the spiraling of our interlocked patterns, but they would have been here regardless.
It's times like this past weekend—when we are furthest apart, when "I hate you" has been uttered—that I'm most grateful for our HPC community and the tools we've developed through doing this work. Because it means we can trust in the Balance of Attention and continue to love one another even as we hate the patterns; even if that love is only a single thread stretched thin between us, threatening to snap.

New State Voter Fraud Units Finding Few Cases From Midterms
November 26, 2022by Gary Fields, Anthony Izaguirre and Sudhin Thanawala, Associated Press

WASHINGTON (AP) — State-level law enforcement units created after the 2020 presidential election to investigate voter fraud are looking into scattered complaints more than two weeks after the midterms but have provided no indication of systemic problems.
That's just what election experts had expected and led critics to suggest that the new units were more about politics than rooting out widespread abuses. Most election-related fraud cases already are investigated and prosecuted at the local level.
Florida, Georgia and Virginia created special state-level units after the 2020 election, all pushed by Republican governors, attorneys general or legislatures.
"I am not aware of any significant detection of fraud on Election Day, but that's not surprising," said Paul Smith, senior vice president of the Campaign Legal Center. "The whole concept of voter impersonation fraud is such a horribly exaggerated problem. It doesn't change the outcome of the election, it's a felony, you risk getting put in jail and you have a high possibility of getting caught. It's a rare phenomena."
The absence of widespread fraud is important because the lies surrounding the 2020 presidential election spread by former President Donald Trump and his allies have penetrated deeply into the Republican Party and eroded trust in elections. In the run-up to this year's elections, 45% of Republicans had little to no confidence that votes would be counted accurately.
An Associated Press investigation found there was no widespread fraud in Georgia or the five other battleground states where Trump disputed his 2020 loss, and so far there is no indication of that in this year's elections. Certification of the results is going smoothly in most states, with few complaints.
In Georgia, where Trump tried to pressure state officials to "find" enough votes to overturn his loss, a new law gives the state's top law enforcement agency, the Georgia Bureau of Investigation, authority to initiate investigations of alleged election fraud without a request from election officials. The alleged violation would have to be significant enough to change or create doubt about the outcome of an election.
GBI spokesperson Nelly Miles said the agency has not initiated any investigations under the statute. The agency is assisting the secretary of state's office in an investigation of a breach of voting equipment in Coffee County in 2021, but that is its only recent election fraud investigation, she said in an email.
That breach, which came to light earlier this year, involved local officials in a county that voted for Trump by nearly 40 percentage points in 2020 and some high-profile supporters of the former president.
State Rep. Jasmine Clark, a Democrat who opposed the additional authority for the bureau, said the lack of investigations validates the criticism that the law was unnecessary. But she said just the prospect of a GBI investigation could intimidate people who want to serve as poll workers or take on some other role in the voting process.
"In this situation, there was no actual problem to be solved," Clark said. "This was a solution looking for a problem, and that's never the way that we should legislate."
Florida has been the most visible state, creating its Office of Election Crimes and Security amid much fanfare this year and keeping a pledge that Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis made in 2021 to combat unspecified election fraud.
The office is under the Florida Department of State. It reviews allegations and then tasks state law enforcement with pursuing violations.
DeSantis this summer announced the election unit had arrested 20 people for illegally voting in the 2020 election, when the state had 14.4 million registered voters. That was the first major election since a state constitutional amendment restored voting rights for felons, except for those convicted of murder or felony sex crimes or those who still owe fines, fees or restitution.
Court records show the 20 people were able to register to vote despite prior felony convictions, apparently leading them to believe they could legally cast ballots. At least part of the confusion stems from language in the voter registration forms that requires applicants to swear they are not a felon — or if they are, that they have had their rights restored. The forms do not inquire specifically about past convictions for murder and felony sexual assault.
One of the people charged, 56-year-old Robert Lee Wood, had his home surrounded early one morning by law enforcement officers who banged on his door and arrested him. He spent two days in jail. Wood's lawyer, Larry Davis, said his client did not think he was breaking the law because he was able to register to vote without issue. Davis called the law enforcement reaction "over the top" in this case.
Wood's case was dismissed by a Miami judge in late October on jurisdictional grounds, because it was brought by the Office of the Statewide Prosecutor rather than local prosecutors in Miami. The state is appealing the ruling.
Andrea Mercado, executive director of Florida Rising, an independent political activist organization focused on economic and racial justice in the state, said the disproportionate targeting of such would-be voters was sending a "chilling message to all returning citizens who want to register to vote." She said her group found that many of them were confused about the requirements.
"You have to go to 67 counties' websites and find their individual county processes to see if you have a fine or fee," she said. "It's a labyrinthian ordeal."
Weeks before the Nov. 8 election, the Office of Election Crimes and Security began notifying Florida counties of hundreds of registered voters who potentially were ineligible to vote because of prior convictions. In letters to the counties, state officials asked that election officials verify the information and then take action to prevent ineligible voters from casting ballots.
"We've heard stories about voters who are eligible to vote but have a criminal conviction in their past, and they are now scared to register and vote," said Michael Pernick, a voting rights attorney with the NAACP Legal Defense Fund. He called it "deeply concerning."
A spokesman for the new office did not provide information related to any other actions it might have taken or investigations it might have underway related to this year's primary and general elections.
Virginia Attorney General Jason Miyares announced he was forming his own Election Integrity Unit in September, saying it would "work to help restore confidence in our democratic process in the Commonwealth."
The formation of the unit came in a state where Republicans swept the three statewide offices in 2021 elections, including Miyares' defeat of a Democratic incumbent.
His spokeswoman, Victoria LaCivita, said in a written response to questions from The Associated Press that the office had received complaints connected to this month's elections, but she could not comment on whether any investigations had resulted.
In addition, "the EIU successfully got a demurrer and a motion to dismiss" an attempt to force the state to abandon its use of electronic voting machines to count ballots and institute a statewide hand count.
Miyares' office said he was not available for an interview, but in a letter to the editor in The Washington Post in October he stated there was no widespread fraud in Virginia or anywhere else during the 2020 election. He said his office already had jurisdiction in election-related issues but that he was restructuring it into a unit to work more cooperatively with the election community to allay any doubts about the fairness of elections.
Smith, of the Campaign Legal Center, said there are real issues related to election security, including protecting voters, poll workers and elections staff, and securing voting equipment. But he said Republican steps to boost what they often refer to as "election integrity" to combat voter fraud often are about something else.
"It's a myth that's created so they can justify making it harder for people to vote," he said.

A couple of years ago I purchased a 1949 Spartan Royal Mansion travel trailer. After some work and restoration I am ready to hit the road with it in tow this summer. However, my plans came to a screeching halt when my insurance agent told me that none of the companies she deals with will insure it for full coverage. Has anyone run into this and if so, what did you do? I am willing to switch companies completely if it means getting the Spartan insured. It is covered when it is being towed by my truck, but for liability only, even though my truck has full coverage on it(that doesnt sound right to me either).
I sure would hate to leave it dry docked in the yard and not be able to take it out and use it like it was intended. Any and all help is appreciated.
However, my plans came to a screeching halt when my insurance agent told me that none of the companies she deals with will insure it for full coverage.
I know that there are companies who write these types of policies -- I would suggest a couple of resources. First, write to our RV Lifestyle columnists, Jaimie and Alice, they are extremely well connected. Also look at the links on this article about historical & vintage trailers, these folks have simliar concerns.
Thanks for the link to the article and I will look into some of the tips there.
Your trailers insurance flows with the tow vehicles insurance.
You tow vech insurance usually has add-on provisions too.
Roadside service/towing supplemental AAA premium membership with RV and M/C is a few bucks more, and offers extra loooong towing distances in case of breakdown.
Oh brother do I have stories.
Thanks Ross and Alice, the way it was explained to me by the agent was this, my truck has full coverage on it and would be covered anywhere it is. The trailer will only have liability on it when it is being pulled by my truck. That makes no sense to me at all.
So far I am waiting for call backs from two other companies to see what they can do for me on this one. There must be a company out there that wants my money.
Thanks I will look into them for a quote. The RM has been out and about several times in the past couple of years. Everywhere its has been people flock to it. I currently have it insured with Progressive and the rates are very reasonable.
