My auto insurance paid everything but the deductible. Since it wasn't my fault, AND my pickup was totaled, I don't know why I should be out of 2300.00 dollars.

IF you were injured you should not just sue for your medical expenses, but also for your pain and suffering but in general when suing a state agency you must file a notice of tort claim within 90 days, thus see a lawyer immediately for what you would need to do.

You can have law suits but you all at some point may want to sit down to dinner again so I think it makes sense to see if there is someone that can mediate the dispute.Did you or did someone's insurance pay for the damage to the car you damaged.That's what you have to pay.

In general when you are in court and on the stand the lawyer can ask you any question, unless the judge says no.

Recourse is only against the party that side swiped your wife's vehicle. If it was an employer's vehicle, than the Employee and the Employer's Insurance would be responsible.

The police can chase anyone they feel it is in the public interest to do so, probably also not worth pursing if you have a low deductible as your time is probably worth more.
