One of the largest car insurance claims goes to court

Filing car insurance claims is never a pleasant experience, even when they are for a reasonable amount. Insurance companies aren’t excited about paying them, and waiting around for the check can be stressful. Now imagine the claim you filed was for $2 million.

A Texas judge is currently presiding over such a claim, filed my Andy House, a driver who took out a loan to buy a $1 million Bugatti Veyron, insured it for twice the amount, and then drove it into a swamp.

Seems like an open-and-shut case, right? Unfortunately, a passerby was filming as the crash happened. The Veyron is an extremely rare vehicle (only 300 made), so an enthusiastic driver sharing the road with the Bugatti was filming as House drove into the swamp, and posted it to YouTube.

Not only does the movie show that House encountered no obstructions in the road, but it appears that House didn’t even apply pressure to the brakes, which was confirmed at the crash site by police who found no skid marks.

Needless to say, the judge has his hands full.
