Sure they will. I have been sued by insurance companies twice. I won both
times. The problem is most people cave in because they don't take the time
to actually figure out the law. Only a moron lets himself be conquered by an
insurance company.
One time it would of been cheaper to settle. I learned from that and the
next time they paid. I go for the juggler right from the start. Let them
know you will fight to the end.
Let me know how the FBO's insurance can come after you. I thought the reason
they had it was exactly for that reason.
Its sounds like you need to understand how things work. If I ask you for
money it doesn't mean you owe it to me.
Please don't call me a troll. I can only tell you my experiences. I had a
decent size company and dealing with insurance is one of the biggest
expenses. You have workers comp, health, product liability, building
insurance, car insurance, death and I am sure I am forgetting a few.
I also was not asking any question just stating my opinion and that's all it
is my opinion. If you have never owned your own company you have no way of
knowing how things work. I can also tell you this you can be dead right and
still lose in court or vice a versa it all comes down to the judge.

I'm out of this debate, I smell a troll . Aluckyguess - go and lookup what
subjugation actually means, and then come back asking sensible, well
informed questions. The insurance company underwriting the FBO's plane
WILL come after you in most cases.

Do you really think the insurance co give a flying sh1t about "bad word
of mouth"? Your'e making a mistake in believing the insurance company
have any morals or scruples. I know of someone who did not have renters
insurance, landed short, took out some runwany end identifier lights,
prop strike, engine teardown and new landing gear. The costs were well
north of $40K, and they came after that person for every penny. Had to
sell car and house to pay it. He thought he was insured. To the OP, look
at AOPA. I think I pay about $200 PA, for the basic deal.

So no one had any insurance on the plane? Something doesnt sound right.
The owner of the plane has some liabiltiy. Again it sounds like this guy
needed a good lawyer.
Sounds like the FBO didnt pay their policy they had no money and went
after the pilot.

Has that ever happened in the case where an uninsured renter pilot
with no money (orig poster) will be sued?

Being low on cash is not the same as having zero assets or zero net
worth
and no anticipated future cashflow source.

Agree there, but if someone does $5,000 damage to an airframe, that
amount won't go far at all to pursue it to see if collection is even
practically possible, much less establish the facts of the case. Can
you answer my question about the ins co's business sense, for a mere
$5K minus costs, spreading such ill will in the pilot community over
the matter?
