What is the name of your state? Washington, DC
I was rear-ended by a cab driver in DC. The cab driver admitted fault. My car was one day old at the time. I sustained a bump on my forehead. The rear of my car was extensively damaged. I have been dealing with the cabs isurance company, First Washington Insurance. I decided it would be easier to go through my insurance, GEICO, for the body work, but I had to file through First Washington for the rental. The original time estimate was 10-14 days, but due to problems with parts, partly because my car is a new model, it ended up taken 43 days. I got the cheapest compact rental car I could get, because that's all the insurance company said they would pay for. Now, First Washington refuses to pay for the extra days, saying they're only responsible for the time the car was being worked on, not time spent waiting for parts. It looks like they're trying to barter me down, because they asked how many days I would be willing to accept. Do I have a case? If they don't crack under threats, do I have options other then Litigation.
thanks,
Ed
