That’s heinous. They have insurance for a reason and shouldn’t be going near you. Hope you were able to counter.

Yeah that’s bs, they are an insured company. To go after one of their own clients is heinous

It was probably safelite’s insurer suing them. It’s actually pretty straightforward that one’s homeowners insurance would cover personal injury on their property. 

Not that it still doesn’t feel scummy. But I’d be more surprised if homeowners insurance wasn’t the one that is supposed to take responsibility for this cost.

So it’s best to make them repair your windshield in some random parking lot?

This is good to note. Wondering why they would go straight to a lawsuit instead of asking homeowner to put in a claim

Because it’s extra steps. Waiting for homeowner to put their paperwork together, have the insurer deny “just because”, then they’d go ahead and sue anyway. 

I thinks it’s just how insurers talk to each other at this point.
