they either have to pay everyone or no one. you can't get coverage you didn't purchase....otherwise everyone would buy state minimum $5k PD

[ethrtyiS]

Geez dude, this makes me hurt inside.

Really shitty situation to be in.
Good luck.

yeah, it really fucking sucks. thanks.

So there's your gamble...take the guaranteed money and lose the ability for suit, or decline and sue.

Realistically, someone will decline.

so what should i do realistically. should i accept the offer or decline and sue?

Sorry to see this Travis.

Jim

it sucks big time. :(
but i have big plans either way if things work out, hopefully. ;)

Fuck insurance companies. I'd wipe my ass with that and send it back.

yeah, i'd love to. especially because my car has way more damage than what she estimated it at.

I got mad cheddar for a 1983 320iS a few weeks back.

It seems like Travis is stuck though. It's hard to get what you want when your limit is $10k. Is that the limit? Or are there circumstances that allow insurance companies to pay/distribute more than the minimum $10k amount?

his insurance only has $10k to spread among all of us.

the facebook R3V page is full of retards... thats all

If the guy only had 10k coverage then the chance of him having the money to payout on a law suit is pretty low

And think of it this way... you'll be stuck with the courts for months if you sue.

yeah, but they can garnish what he owns.

And think of it this way... you'll be stuck with the courts for months if you sue.

that's exactly what i'm afraid of. i don't want to be in a small claims battle for months, even years. i just want to get my money, save it, leave, and when i come back have some bitchin car(s).

[ethrtyiS]

would there be any interest in an m1 dtm shirt?

[Balleristic31]

I got this bad boy for $38 shipped. Oh yeah.



And this for $22

Will that fit a grip royal wheel?

[E30_Pare]

wonder if its one of these wheels

some people are just cheap and assume they won't get in an accident...and don't fully understand liability limits

And think of it this way... you'll be stuck with the courts for months if you sue.

but it may not be up to him. even if he accepts, the other parties have to accept as well...

[Ayman]

Ayman where u at man? If you can't get this by tm I might be able to come down and help you. Ill bring the impact gun, drill, and proper Allen's.

I'll send you a text good man

.......aaaaaaayyyyyymmmmmmaaaannnnn

still haven't gotten that headache out of the way :(

Its hard to find military spec hardware in metric sizes (assuming they used metric tapered bolts.) My guess would be the root of the problem is that Ayman does not have an allen socket set.

Lol nooo Einstein, I have a metric allen socket set. How else would I have taken two other adapters off?

Thats exactly what I thought of, I dont go cheap on many parts and my steering wheels is number 1

Btw travis I am not sure on amount but if you take the guy to small claims court, assuming its still within the small claims limits, it should be a scheduled date which will most likely be within the next month or two, and it will get decided then and there, if they garnish their wages it starts immediately, if they dont show up, a warrent goes out for their arrest and you may have to reschedule but now you have the upper hand

thanks chris, that's very helpful. i may take him to court then. i can't take such a large loss like this. my car is totalled and there's no way in hell 1900 will even come close to the amount to fix just the side of the car. i guess i'll be sending in a decline letter.

[MR 325]

I'd take him to court for sure. Shit I'd do it just based on principle of not letting him get away with it.

What I want to know is why can't you take the offer AND sue for the rest?

[IronmanE30]

I assume that this letter is from their insurance company. Release of liability would prohibit you from seeking further action against them and their client. I may have missed something but years ago I had a similar experience and ended up going through my insurance company to get paid and let them chase the deadbeat.

Cheers,

Jim
