What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Canton, GA.
On Dec 19th, my daughters were hit headon by a drunk driver. My trailblazer was totaled, but the girls walked away with some back and neck pain, but really nothing major. My questions are: I am upside down and will owe almost 15k, once we take the insurance companies settlement for my truck. I have an attorney that has taken on the injuries side of the accident for both children.
I need to know if I can sue the driver for the amount that I am out, since he totaled my car. I am also out of pocket for a rental car to the tune of 600+ dollars and time for my wife and i away from work.
Do punitive damages come to play, since he drove while under the influence?
I am looking to file in small claims court for 15k and move forward from there. Do you recommend that I hire an attorney or go to a mediator and reslove this from there. thanks for any help you can give.
