Re: property loss

I'm sorry to hear of your son's problems. You posted your question under "Real Estate and Real Property" - which means houses, land, other buildings. I do not handle cases with the issues you describe.

Please check other categories on LawGuru to find a lawyer who could give you some direction. It may be under property damage, or torts, or car accidents.

Also, insurance adjusters [not from the other car's insurance company] will often assist people whose property has been damaged, by negotiating for a more realistic reimbursement. They do charge a fee for their services.
