Legal Question in Civil Litigation in Illinois

My car was parked and someone hit my car. They only have liability insurance and the settlement offer isn't enough to repair or replace my car. My insurance company said that if I want money to replace my car, lost wages, and personal items that were damaged in the car that I would have to file a suit in small claims court. I am a private tutor and have been off work since the hit my car back on 7/12/09. I was wondering if it looks like I have a case.

You have a case.

I would encourage you to pursue this. However, if you do get a judgement against this individual, and they have no money, your money and time spent will be for naught.

I am also assuming that you did not have full coverage.
