My response:

Yes, you're entitled to compensation for your car damages, your lost wages, your medical bills, and your "pain and suffering" (general damages).

Consult with, and hire, a personal injury attorney. You don't need money to hire the attorney.

Good luck.

1)At what point do you claim all the damages. Do they pay for towing, storing etc. How to calculate the damages like pain/suffering, loss of pay, car value, medical bills etc.

2)If the policy is maxed out then what they do?

3)If you hire an attorney then he is asking 1/3 of the claim to be paid by the insurance company. The insurance may think the policy covers say 20k, my claim is say 25k and because of the policy limit, I get only 14k and attorney get 7k. Is this how it works? I am in dallas, texas

thanks
