A year ago today

A year ago today my cousin Sinead Dinsmore and I were sleeping In her family home in Nicasio when at 5 AM on 4 July, 2019, an intoxicated driver ran into the house, driving his Titan Nissan truck into the living room, launching us from our beds, exposIng us to asbestos dust, leaving us homeless, and with PTSD. We have suffered from wage loss, and loss of work, bodily injury, mental stress, etc. The driver of the vehicle was under the influence, and arrested with a DUI (meth), a police report was filed. He was the manager of several gas stations in Petaluma including Valero. my cousin’s brother David Dinsmore, the owner of the house, has her listed on his home insurance policy. She had possessions and furniture destroyed. The County of Marin may also be liable, as it did not embark, nor did it clearly mark that bend in the road—though the family has repeatedly asked them to do something about it as this is not the first time a vehicle has driven into the house. Since then, the county has put in traffic warning lights. Too late for us.
