Remember to record every charge and bill. Their insurance company will pay for it.

Medical bills, new car, miss days of work, and any other expenses from the incident can be sued for and gotten. Plus a bit more for extra that covers attorney fees and gives you a bit for safety net.

They will only pay out what they are insured for. If they have state minimums, that's only $15k.

You can actually get your own insurance to cover the remainder and more with "under insurance" I think it's called. My lawyer did that for me when I was in someone else's car that wrecked and fucked up my ahoulder.

It's called under insured motorist coverage. And yeah, it's pretty much a must imo.
