Whatever damage Tim caused to the other vehicles will be covered by his liability policy. I am pretty sure this coverage is required by law in all states if you drive a car. If he doesn't have collision coverage the damage to his vehicle will not be covered. 

There will probably be a deductible won't there? And knowing Jill, they probably have a high one in order to have a lower payment.

Exactly this. And I can’t imagine how high even the most basic coverage will cost him after 3 moving violations. Is he driving without insurance now? 

[emmawoodhouse]

Jill has admitted in the past (at the time of Nurie's accident) that they carried the bare minimum insurance. I imagine that applies to Timbits as well, although his nay be higher now due to the two prior speeding violations.

[Spazamanaz]

Was he hurt in the accident? 

[65mickey]

If he is driving without insurance he will be in big trouble. I think the deductible would apply it he files a claim on the collision coverage for his vehicle. Not sure if the liability has a deductible. How old is this kid?  Yeah 3 moving violations will cause his insurance to go through the roof. It might be cancelled.

Not “may” be higher. I’m 💯 sure it’s a lot higher, if he even has any currently.

Yeah, you're 100% correct. After the accident, his insurance must be through the roof. And as you noted, he may well have cancelled his policy.

Is Tim still under age 25? I believe males under age 25 are already rated for higher premiums, so if he's got prior moving violations or chargeable accidents, he's got to be facing high premiums, assuming he can find insurance at all.

[emmawoodhouse]

Tim's 21 or 22. I'm not digging up his birthday. 😁 But yes, well under the 25 year old threshold.

Thanks. I wasn't up to digging up that info, either. 🙂

[Cinnabon]

I wonder if he got any of the tickets when Jill forced him to drive for 12 (?) hours to Florida for their last vacation?

Under 25 and 3 accidents? Wowsa, I think they might just drop him if he hasn't cancelled already. And if he has cancelled, be ready to pay.

What morons these people are!

Two speeding tickets and the accident I posted about above.

There is no public assistance that I am aware of for insurance and this case. Maybe it will be "Go Fund Me" time?

I remember when I was about 25 and I got my first speeding ticket. I had State Farm and I was moved into the "high risk" category and boy did my rates go high. Now, I'm 56 years old and pay the lowest rate I have ever paid in my entire life.... until I get too old and then it will go back up!

PERSECUTION!!!!!

[Cinnabon]

That was truly a scary accident Tim had on the freeway. Why no post from Jill thanking her god for keeping him safe?

[65mickey]

If he was driving without insurance he will be in trouble with the law an he will probably be sued by those whose vehicles that he damaged. 

[libgirl2]

Jill should be happy, her thread is "hot" again.

He is lucky no one was seriously injured or killed.

Yea, and Jill doesn't have Duggar money to afford a big time lawyer if he is sued. And what if someone were seriously injured or killed?

Because her son caused the accident and she doesn't want this out there.

There you go.... she knows people will rake her and over the coals. Maybe that is why we are getting "knee" posts now?

At least she isn’t pregnant... right?

I know it feels like Covid has been going on for decades at this point, but we're still not at the two year mark (at least in the US).  How in the hell did Timmy get himself 3!!! moving violations in that small time frame?  I've been driving 24 years now.  I've never had any ticket/violation.  Hell, I've only been pulled over one time, and he let me go with a warning.  I can't help but wonder if there's sometime more serious going on with Tim (wink, wink, nudge, nudge).  **Makes me wonder if this will get Jilly talking about her precious boy again**

And, Jill, honey?  We know you lurk here.  There is no way you could have all that damage to one knee and still be out traversing the east coast trying to convert people who are already Christian.  You already found dear Daniel of the Laundromat.  Take him as your win and just stop God-bothering folks.  Oh, and while you're at it, take that self-righteous attitude you have in regards to your sister and STFU already.  Since you seem to like competition, go try out for The Correct Christian Survivor.
 

[Westiepeach]

I would venture to say a lot of us, or at least we all know people, that have had knee issues. Many with several torn “things.” And I am pretty sure we/they have all weathered through the storm and are back in the game with little to no problems.

Suck it, Jill.

[Nysha]

Jill's been back in the game for the whole time Nurthan and Nemo were staying at the Barndo. There is no reason to soak up attention just b/c she knows what's wrong. 

[crazy8s]

i think timbits also had a prior accident.  I seem to remember Jill having a post about a "fender bender" and how he was working so very hard to earn the money himself for repairs, unlike other guys his age.....

I could be wrong and it was a car breakdown that had need for repair. It was quite a while ago.

 

[YupItsMe]

Tim is a legal adult and doesn’t live with Jill, as far as I know, so she’s not responsible for his accidents.

I'm also remembering something like that. I think he was driving to work on a snowy icy night and his car slid out of control and SEVERELY hit a curb. He wasn't injured but his car was damaged. Jill's rendition of the story was typically dramatic. ETA: Now that I think about it, I think Jill said that "the curb SEVERELY damaged" his car. I remember thinking, sure, Jill, that curb just reached out and damaged his car. Not. How about, his car was severely damaged when he lost control and it hit the curb?

Yes he is, though he doesn't really seem like one does he? 

[emmawoodhouse]

He lives in a camper on his parents' property. Same address, so it could be taken that he lives with them.

Jill might be trying to get on disability. Wouldn’t surprise me.

Interesting but yes, I can see it.

Timbot can ride a horse to work. Maybe a neighbor can rent him a horse and buggy. 
 

He really should not be driving anymore if he got into so many accidents.

It's virtually impossible for Jill to get disability at her age and her nonexistent work history.  As far as I know, Jill has never worked a job where she was required to pay into social security.

While you don’t have to meet a credit amount, it’s doubtful this particular injury would get her approved for SSI.

SSI also has income and resource requirements that Jill would have to meet.  The disability also has to prevent all substantial gainful activity and be expected to last 12 months or longer.   She could fix this with surgery and two or three months of rehab.

Curbs are the work of the Devil.  See also, stairs, end tables that stick out a half inch too far, some door handles,  etc.

She’s absolutely not responsible, but I would feel incredibly grateful that he survived and no one else was hurt, if i were her.

[emmawoodhouse]

Jill has confirmed that Jonathan wants to move to Ohio to live near the Rodpod. We don't even know what he does for a living, but will be be able to pull up stakes every few years as the Rods flee CPS?
