Hello - my son was in a car accident a few months ago and is trying to write a demand letter for pain and suffering.
My question is this:
His car was totalled during the accident (not his fault). From what I've read online, he should include all expenses related to the accident (I'm assuming hospital charges, medicine, etc., even if he has insurance and didn't pay for all of them? Let me know if that is incorrect).
If the vehicle was totalled, but he was reimbursed for the blue book value, does he include the total cost of the car as an expense?
If not, he did have trouble finding a way to get to work, which was pain and suffering. How does he figure out how much $ to ask for for the inconvenience of having no car, then having to buy a new one (new registration, etc.)?
Thank you! any help is much appreciated. He lives in California.
