I was rear ended in a mcdonald's drive thru. no injuries. minor damage to the vehicle that needs to be repaired. I just bought the vehicle and it was my first ever big purchase in life other than my home. i have insurance. the driver had insurance. the driver's mother is the policy owner and has still yet to call the accident into her insurance. i actually made the call. this is becoming a hassle beyond belief to fix this minor damage. should i just assume a small claims court?

A: A Kentucky attorney could advise best, but your question remains open for three weeks. It's your decision, but if you do go that route, the judge could ask if there is insurance to cover the damages. Unfortunately, this type of situation is common when there are delays in providing carrier with statement. Good luck
