Caring Hands Transportation

I was driven from Seattle to Port Angeles by Caring Hands Transportation in October of 2015. I had recently spend weeks in Harborview after being hit head on by an intoxicated driver. I was still in really bad condition and heading home to a full-​time nurse.
During my ride Michael Manderville (driver, owner) was completely unprofessional. I am not an over reactive person, but honestly, I was scared. So scared in fact that when he left the car during our ferry ride, I called my husband and gave him all the information I could see from my wheelchair (where I couldn’t move) including the handicap license number, color and description of car, etc. I made my husband stay on the phone with me for the 1.5 hour drive home. It was an extremely uncomfortable ride. I felt it was so creepy that I didn’t even take my pain medicine when the time came. I felt that I needed to keep my wits about me because I couldn’t trust the owner/​driver. Twice during our ride home he asked if I wanted to stop and have dinner with him. I am a small young female, I felt this was totally inappropriate.
After arriving home, Mr. Manderville wanted to be paid on the spot. We explained to him that Harborview had hired AMR to drive me home and they had outsourced to him. The proper channels for payment were insurance, then Crime Victims Compensation, then paid during our court case when everything was settled. I explained that both my lawyer and WA state liaison had strictly told me (in writing) not to pay medical bills out-​of-​pocket. He left me with a bill that I gave to my attorney and my insurance.
I heard nothing from Michael for months, which didn’t surprise me because these things take time to process through several channels. Then in Feb, Michael Manderville sent me a 2-​page letter explaining all of the mean things he could have done to me during the ride, but chose not to (ie– take the long way around and charge me more). Then he said that if I didn’t pay soon he would have me arrested and charged for theft.
Overall I feel his behavior was outrageous, and I want to save as many people as possible to being subject to his advances, demands and threats.
