I agree with the first statement, not the rest. If you were following along, the people involved are high school students, yes? If the pay out is the $8-10k Jake (plus whatever the other side may be) is suggesting... I'd argue I do have an idea of whether the insurance company lost out. Assuming the kid is 16-18 years old, he couldn't have been driving for more than what? 3 years? You think this kid paid $8-10k+ in premiums over >3 years?
My guess is the kid was a part of the parent's policy and thus, insured for less as a result of a family plan. Even so, if the kid paid for his own policy, I seriously doubt he was paying in a like amount to what is being paid out, in total. Just think about it and revisit your statement.
