What is the name of your state? California
I was recently driving down a road in Los Angeles and was slowing down coming into traffic. I was suddenly hit by a Budget Rental Truck, they weren't even changing lanes, just clearly used to not driving a large truck and came over into my lane. Caused a lot of damage to the side and bumper of my car. We exchanged information, I called my insurance, made a claim, and thought it would be taken care of. My insurance company was unable to get a hold of the guy who hit me. He refused to call them back, after they tried 10 times. They then called his insurance company, and it turns out, he is not insured to drive anything over 2,000 lb payload (roughly the size of an F150 truck). They are now going to call Budget Rental Truck to see if he purchased the supplemental insurance, which I'm sure he did not, and then go from there. If he has no insurance, and my insurance only covers bodily damage for uninsured motorist, are there legal preceedings I can take against the guy who hit me???? I just want to get the $4000 worth of damage to my car paid for.
