Throughout my childhood, my mother would take our family on annual road trips, and those were some of the best memories. Then came the year 2003. On our way back home from an amazing trip to Virginia, our lives got turned upside down – literally. A tractor trailer plunged into us on the highway and flipped my mom’s Oldsmobile Bravada over ... and over … and over. There we were, dangling from our seatbelts in the center of I-95; and there the tractor trailer was, driving off into the night as if nothing happened.
In the middle of pure chaos, my older brother was able to see and memorize the license plate number before the truck vanished into the darkness. His ability to think quickly and logically allowed my mother to track this person down and eventually sue, but that process took ages. Luckily, my mother invested in accident insurance through her job, which helped our family tremendously while we waited for legal matters to settle.
Years later, I am thankful that I also work for an organization that understands the value of supplemental protection. MTA members have the option to enroll in accident insurance and emergency medical transportation coverage.
