I don't like the part that says if an at-fault driver totals your un-Comprehensive car, the most you can sue for is $400.

I don't know why this is political/controversial. It appears a woman died from an accident.

(Shrug)

The one thing that peaked my interest is the article said she had no kids.

I wonder what kind of circumstances had her working so many low-paying hourly jobs?

If child support is out then a previous medical procedure? If that was the case it would be much easier to just declare bankruptcy. I doubt school loans cuz her jobs were low-skilled. Even if it was school loans working less to get a hardship case would probably actually save her money.

Paying for regular health insurance would be out with Obamacare.

Just seems weird that a childless woman would be working all these low-wage hourly jobs.

If I had a choice, I would not be thanking them, let me tell you.
You are only required to have liability insurance in case you injury or damage someone's else vehicle and it's your fault. You aren't required to have collision insurance. They basically save your butt if you screw-up.

Anyways, what does all your OWS nonsense have to do with the OP you started? Why not just stick to the article you posted, or start a post with what you really want to vent about?

It's misleading. She worked at four Dunkin Donuts franchises, which technically count as four separate jobs. However, the article said she would work 10 hours one work and 40 the next.

She was working at multiple Dunkin Donuts. Since they are franchises, they are considered separate jobs.
DD is usually a job kids would work or someone wanting a little extra money. The woman who died did not want an office job.

The woman clearly wasn't working hard enough. She needs to go back to school to get more skills.

Oh ok.

Still a weird scenario. Why not just get 2 20-hour a week jobs?

So here we have a women working 4 jobs motivated to better herself living on 3 hours of sleep a day and dies.

All so that Corporate Lobbyists, Investors and Banks can continue to reap the world from their Foreign and Domestic Economic policies they wrote up to pass on to their puppets in DC.
she died because she had a gas can IN HER CAR. It was not the job that killed her, it was her choice to put a gas can inside the car.
