| #12 As P2K said: "Wouldn't have look any different than hitting a tree." Or a bridge, retaining wall, house or some other erected structure? In many States you have to get past thresholds of fault in civil courts. |

| #11 Lawyer knows his only 50/50 hope of any money is if he can settle out of court with the homeowners insurance company. As one civil court lawyer said: Next time put a small sign on the side of it that explains it is reinforced due to repeated destruction. The vandal or driver not controlling his/her/it vehicle won't read it anyway, but the warning sign was posted. BTW: Mailboxes once installed are the property of the US Postal Service and fall under FBI Law Enforcement authority. |

| #10 Now consider if, instead of a mailbox, it was simply someone standing by the side of the road. Would he still sue the person's estate? |

| #1 From the looks of the truck, the driver was traveling too fast for weather conditions. Wouldn't have look any different than hitting a tree. |
