Found out that the accident has to go to arbitration since the trucker says it was my fault. Also found out that if the trucker's insurance was covering me I would have no problem, but since I have to use my own policy my rental car time is up after 3 weeks. I still have 2-3 weeks until my truck is done. She says most people just pay it out of pocket. With the impending bankruptcy I don't think I should be charging that much money! I already have to charge the deductible.
I can't afford $35 a day for that much time, so I have go to back to driving DH's avalanche while he drives his old 92 pickup (I'd drive it, but I can't drive a stick shift).
If we do sue, I'm not only going to include my deductible and rental car overages, I'm going to include every phone call I've had to make to the insurance companies, and now I'm going to add "pain and suffering" because that truck is not a good truck for DH to drive for business. I might add that on the way home today I was surrounded by semis and almost threw up.
The truck insurance called again today and left a message about why I haven't called about their offer to settle the medical portion of the claim ($4000). Our lawyer told us to let our insurance fight it, but I'm starting to think my insurance is pretty spineless. I hope I don't get stuck with all of it. My agent is calling me Tuesday at 4 to get a recorded statement for arbitration. Since it took the other company 3 weeks to talk to the trucker, I hope it doesn't take another 3 weeks to get a statement from him.
