Hi,

Based on the described damages, I would not recommend small claims court. You need a lawyer. Contact me at (415)364-1604 if you want help with this matter.

Very truly yours,

Re: Auto Accident Liability

With regard to property damage, generally the person at fault would be liable for either the repair bill or the value of the car if it's a total loss. Also, your car rental and collision deductible, too. But the other guy may not be responsible for your car payments just cause you didn't have use of the car for a few weeks. You could try small claims and see what the judge says but as a plaintiff, you have no right to appeal. On the injury side, are you getting the proper therapy? Did you have UM coverage to go beyond just the medical bills? If you are in the greater Orange County area, I'd be glad to give you a free consultation to see if you're doing all the right things. Call at 714-963-5123.

Re: Auto Accident Liability

hi,

in a case like yours, i would hope that you have some sort of UM coverage on your own policy. any lawyer, certainly including myself, would look there first in this situation. until you know, if you have not already given a recorded statement to your own carrier, wait. if so, don't worry, it's done.

please feel free to call. would be happy to discuss your situation.

Re: Auto Accident Liability

Based on the facts that you have presented it appears probable that you have suffered some injury to you body. Your insurance, unless waived in writing, you would have uninsured coverage. Uninsured motorist coverage will pay for your bodily injury. Before you take any further action consult with an attorney.
