Was headed to the Dayton show on Saturday. Then the weather and fate intervened. While I know how to drive when it starts to snow and the temperatures drop, the young man behind me did not. ![]() Thank gosh he had insurance. The car will be fine. Dr. Hill and I are both fine. Sore but fine. However, the models I was taking to the show did not survive as you can see from my edited signature. Almost a year's production wiped out in a moment. Oh well. Back to the bench. |

Hi David Would have been a shock but the main thing is no one was hurt. Cars and models can be replaced (or rebuilt) but people are a different story. I wonder whether the insurance will "value" your models at the correct rate? Cheers Michael |

Michael, Insurance should value the model at the cost of the kits and decals. I'll get no compensation for my time and effort, but such is life. |

Yes. The only way to avoid that is if you have a track record (on EBay or otherwise) of selling your work, and can provide comparable examples. But that's tricky too, in that you could run into the business exception; residential policies don't give much coverage for money-making ventures. Anyway, glad it's just things broken, and not people hurt (assuming your aches and pains are not persisting). |

When you are heading out for a fun day of kits and builds at a show and this happens, it really sucks. Glad you and your copilot are fine. |

kKts (and cars) can be repaired or replaced. I'm glad the important people part appear to be undamaged |

Why yes; but in this case, the old adage I learned in my long-ago business law course applies. "Who acts as his own attorney ..." You know the rest
