Legal Question in Civil Litigation in Maryland
Auto accident loss and stress
I was rear ended in august by a 17
year old kid. My car at the time was an
audi a6 2.7t.. It was the love of my
life. His insurance company paid off
my car and settled with me for 7500
dollars. Most of that went to my
lawyer and the doctor. I am now
driving a hyundai. Everytime I see an
audi or someone who owns or drives
one I feel a deep depression and
anger... My question is this: would I
be able to sue the kid and his parents
(the insureds) for the amount it would
cost to buy another audi (a used one
from 2001)? I have never sued anyone
before but I feel very strongly that I
am owed something more then the
insurence company was legally
obligated to give me.. Any opinions
good or bad would be appreciated.. I
worked really hard for a long time to
get my audi. I lose sleep over this and
that's not even partially exagerated.
Thanks

Re: Auto accident loss and stress
When you settled with his insurance company, you settled with, and released, the other driver, and you cannot go back now and sue.
