Hi all: I'm seeking someone who speaks Hmong who might be willing to help with translation. I was the victim in a vehicle collision almost 2 months ago in Eureka (northern CA). The woman, a Hmong-speaker, admitted fault at the time of the accident (she ran a red light), and then she changed her story when she called her insurance company. Her arraignment is coming up in a couple of weeks, and I would really like to have a native speaker with me to translate what she is saying in court (she will have a translator present, probably a family member). There of course are no witnesses as it happened early on a Sunday morning.

All I want is the truth to come out so that I can collect the damages to my car and get it fixed ('91 vert w-mods). Court date is on 6-18.

If anyone can help I would be so appreciative.

Thanks,
Liz

There are a couple of people in NorCal 7's that do, but I can't remember who they are for the life of me. Hopefully they'll see this and step up to help out a fellow club member. Best of luck to you Liz.

On second thought... You could ask the court to appoint a translator. That way it keeps things honest.

bah my pickup line is I drive a family sedan and reflect a responsible adult. Oh... and I say I'm a mixed Asian. It's worked... okay, let's not get into how successful it is.

PM'd you back…and thanks!

Zach, that's a great idea. I will call and see if they can do that. I think she is bringing her own translator, but I can't be sure of that. I'll check it out.

Best of luck Liz. And thanks for helping out Bee. You're the man!!

When I used to work for the 21st Century Insurance, I received a call from Toadman LOL!. Immediately after we hung up, he started a thread. Btw...where is our friend Toadman these days?

Well, if you want to take a drive over to Eureka to help with interpretation, let me know. Gas, food, lodging, paid by me.

BoostedRex

Liz,

Be sure to keep us updated as things start to get resolved.

Zach

RX7_Babe

I will, Zach. The idea RX7-Kid had of tape recording the proceedings is a good one. I will try to do that. The hearing is next Monday a.m., so I'll post up afterwards,

Hey, and if anyone knows where I can find another vert, even with a blown motor, I'm thinking I should just swap all my goodies into it. The quotes I'm getting from body shops have run $6,000 to $6,900! Ouch!!! So if I can find a shell, we'll just transfer everything from my car, then, if/when I get insurance money, I'll spend it on a good paint job.

Will post this under classifieds, too.

Welp, the lady who hit my car is contesting the infraction (fines of up to $500), so we are going to trial next month. This is so ridiculous and unbelievable! She is going to end up paying more restitution because of her lie, due to the time off I have to take from work, plus travel time to Eureka.

The good news—RX7kid and Bee—is that the court uses a certified court translation service via phone, so I don't have to worry about "fairness" in that arena.

So it drags on…
