We’ll miss the good old times where road accidents were a matter settled between two humans on equal rights, no a individual vs multi-billion corps and their army of lawyers

When was that? Right now if you are part of an accident, you only have rights via your insurance company and their lawyers. I suppose there's small claims court or hiring your own lawyer, but that ain't the same.

Where I live the insurance company does not act until the case is clear and it’s known who is guilty and of what. Sometimes it’s just police documentation, sometimes an investigation and court case. But insurance company does not represent you in the court so what exactly are you talking about?

[xapata]

If the other person is at fault, your insurance company will in fact go after them for money. Depends on the plan and the circumstances, I suppose.

This is their business, not yours. They wouldn’t pay you a penny if they could, and have whole departments for figuring out how to pay you less

[xapata]

So it sounds like status quo ain't "a matter settled between two humans on equal rights".

Well, my insurance company is one of those corporations. So we have that.

[lafar6502]

Yep, they re gonna fight to death in return for your 100$ fee

A class action lawsuit is more their speed.

Well let’s wait until Uber cars kill enough people to make class action lawsuits viable
