Re: Am I Screwed?
The insurance company you are referring to is the company of the driver of the car, which caused the accident, Yes? If so, you are entitled to both the repair or value of the car, and its lost use. That is, the cost of a rental of a vehicle of like kind. If they will not reimburse you for the lost use, you must sue them, probably in Small Claims court, which has a jurisdictional limit of $5,000.00. It is fast, does not permit attorneys and inexpensive to pursue. Good luck!!!
