It is an old car that I use for commuting. It is only worth about $1500 fair market value, but I just put a new motor in it for $2000 and a guy rearended me and pushed me into the car in front of me, so it is gone. Is it just my bad luck for fixing an old car, or do they take that kind of stuff into consideration if I have the receipts. Also, I want to keep the car because it was in the family since it was new, so if I do that, will I get nothing? It will cost way more to fix than it is worth. What should I do? Also, me and my 2 year old both have whiplash, and I had to pay for the hospital visit with my insurance and I had to pay the copay for both of us. I still hurt, but nothing is broken, I just can’t move my neck because it is strained, and my son has a nasty knot on his head, but we are fine. Should I get a lawyer? I am not trying to ambulance chase… I am not greedy, but it just sucks that I am out all this money I put into my car, that ran better than a new one, and then I don’t know what my pain will be like next week because it hurts worse today. The guy told me and the lady he made me hit that he was texting his girlfriend and didn’t see me, so they established him at fault, but I just feel so screwed, because I am going to have to start driving my tahoe again, which gets crap gas mileage, and I totally get that has nothing to do with the insurance company what kind of car my other car is, but what if I didn’t have the tahoe? Wouldn’t the provide a rental? I am just not sure where to go from here. I don’t even feel like driving, but even if I wanted to, I am going from a car that gets 38 mpg, to a SUV that gets 11mpg, argh. Oh well, what should I do?
