A Dream for a Better World

Many crimes in America have the so called “Statute of Limitations”. Some as long as 7 years (bank robbery in some states) and very short, 1 year or less (personal injury).   Many years ago you could sue the insurance company, now you have to the sue the person that does the damage.  This causes a real problem, as the guilty party may have moved. I remember when I was involved in a car accident and I had to go to physical therapy (my therapist would laugh and show the other therapist what happens when he moved my head, my entire body would move, I was extremely stiff).  I was unable to sue for pain and suffering because he had moved and his insurance company refused to give me his new address, saying it was not in their best interest to help me.  Because if I did find them then after winning, they would have to pay. So, that means I would have to hire a detective, which I could not afford to do.

Why do they allow this to go on?  Why not make it easier?  Allow us to sue the insurance company since they are the ones that pay anyway.  I mean it was clear he was the guilty party.  Stupid laws!
