I did rear end Miss Jenna Penrod on February 27, 2014 and was arrested for a DUI offense. There were no vehicle damage on either car. 1 am in the ARD program and am on probation for 6 months. I lost my driver's license for 60 days. I am currently paying offthe related fines. When I reported this incident to my insurance company, Nationwide: agent Anastasios Trispagonas, I was told that Miss Penrod reported that she had suffered a sore neck. Thankfully! Mr. Robert Ardoline, Nationwide Claims Associate, is currently assigned to Miss Penrod's bodily injury claim. The police report states that my Insurance company is Geico which I have not had for at least 8 years. I, Janmarie Willman, early retiree from 28 years of school teaching due to disabilities including hypertension, advanced degenerative disc disease which is untreatable except for pain management via Dr. Santos, neuropathy, and diabetes, am respected and respectful. I humbly accept the legal consequences of my poor decision to drive on February 27. I was grateful that Miss Penrod had only suffered a sore neck. Now, 8 months later, I am served papers stating that Miss Penrod "sustained painful and severe injuries." My insurance company has been handling a "bodily injury claim" by Miss Penrod. I have been under the impression that Miss Penrod will be compensated in the near future. 1 have been on Retirement Disability since March, 2013. I receive 60% of my former pay. I have no assests. I -rent an apartmentthat I -have resided in since 2004. I can provide you with a detailed budget at your request.
