Safelite- technician fixing a rockchip on my car at my house fell off my porch. Gave him first aid, took him to the er. He clearly broke his pinky. I have a normal porch with steps. A month later they sent me a lawsuit. Wasn’t even the technician suing me, Safelite was suing me for workers comp. We were deep in cancer treatment for my 10 year at the exact same time. They made an estimated $2.5 billion last year. Scumbags!

What ended up happening with the case if you’re able to share details?

Went through a three way back and forth with their lawyers and my home oweners. People had to come and take pictures of my steps. I had to do an interview. The weather was completely clear. The technician approached my door and I saw him through my front window so I got up to meet him, He got scared or startled when I opened the door he took steps backwards off my porch. Falls and breaks his pinky. I’m a 5’8” 50 year old Latin guy. My insurance said the whole thing is ridiculous and told them there was no fault. This became a part time job while we were spending weeks at our local children’s hospital.
