Hey even real lawyers admit to be just "practicing". Do you really think they will piss & moan over a piddly 5K for their client putting me through a month of hell? I've heard they like to play all sorts of games like pay lost wages at net rather then gross. They are already pissing an moaning about fixing my truck they way I and the body man want it done. The freaking difference between replacing a fiberglass panel and repairing it is about $140. They simply are refusing to give me the new panel, even though it was a new truck. These are some pretty tight bastards.

And I PTB, but hey what is in a name. The biggest Ace I have up my sleeve is an independent non-aligned witness who can testify she was tailgating him on the exit ramp while talking on a cell phone. This guy was a real decent Joe and stopped to tell the coppers exactly what was what. He saw everything, including how she was driving prior to hitting me.

It would have been preferable, if you had had the cops call you an ambulance, or take you to the ER. At that point, insurance co.s start tripping all over themselves to settle... As it is though, you have a decent case, just gotta yell enough.
