Can I recoup recent maintenance expenses? I would prefer my car be repaired rather than totaled. (Florida)
answered on Feb 21, 2018
Did you make a claim with the other driver's insurance company? Normally, they will pay no more than the "total" value of your car (what is meant by a car being totaled). So if your car's total value is paid, there would be no more due you for what you had paid in maintenance.
