Q: Hello, I was in a car accident where I was not at fault. The one that caused the accident had no insurance or driver li
My insurance only wants to give me $3500 because I did not have full coverage. Is there a way to get more? I have to cover the costs for the towing company & to get my vehicle out. Is there a way to sue the other vehicle? I am emotionally & mentally stressed out, especially since I am a 20 year old college student. This accident has given me PTSD and I get extremely nervous thinking about having to drive.
A: you are able to pursue the other driver legally, most likely in small claims, but the odds of you satisfying any judgment is low. Depending on what type of coverage you had on your own policy you may be able to obtain a recovery for your PTSD and any other associated injuries. That is your most realistic chance of getting made right.
