I live in Tennessee. About a month ago my daughter was rear-ended by driver who left the scene without stopping. Her car was totaled and she and her passanger were injured (not seriously). The owner of the hit run vehicle was later located and he claims he had loaned the vehicle to a friend who he will not name. The state is currently attempting to prosicute. The owner of the hit run vehicle has no recources or insurance. He claims the only thing he owns is the old truck that hit my daughter. My daughter had uninsured motorist. My insurance company has paid me about 50% of what I paid for her vehicle, after some haggeling, I agreed to accept this because they refused to give any more.I ask my insurance company who I could turn to for the rest of the expenses and they agreed to pay my daughters medical bills and nothing more.I don't know how to collect for the things I would have normaly went after "the other insurance company" for, like lost time from work, pain and suffering,the period of time she was without a vehicle, any possible future medical bills.My insurance company does'nt seem to think they are liable for anything else. I checked my policy and all I can figure out is that it does not provide for a rental car. I thought about suing the guy that owns the other vehicle but that would be a waste of time. My insurance adjuster says my insurance company does'nt even plan to sue because he does'nt have anything to get. I am currrently thinking about going ahead and submitting a claim for all this, then when they reject it, take them to small claims court where I can sue for up to $5000 which I hope will cover everything. Does anyone have any suggestions?
