What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? CA
I was involved in a 5 car fender bender back in Sept 09'. The party responsible had insurance and that insurance claimed responsibility and paid off my insurance company and the other cars involved. I paid my insurance company deductible of $1,000 to get my car fixed back in Sept because the car was unsafe to drive after the crash. I also had some minor injuries to my neck as I had a pre existing cervical disk degeneration. My medical expenses since the accident have been around $450. I am still experiencing moderate ear ringing which I did not have prior to accident. The doctors indicate I just have to live with it as the tests they have done do not indicate anything serious that requires immediate attention.
It's 4 months later and I can not get that guys insurance company to take my calls. I want to get them to pay my deductible and medical expenses. I told them I would like to settle this. They simply don't respond. Every few weeks I call and leave a message. I have left at least 8 messages over 3 months. My case is small, I don't think I can get a lawyer to take it. I just want them to compensate me for my $1,000 deductible and $450 in Medical costs. Is small claims where I need to be?
