Sigh, so sorry to hear your story. I'm wondering ...if the insurance
company will give you $2000 but you know you need $4000 to fix it as
attested to by a repair shop, can you sue the person individually for the
difference for loss of property? That is a question that I've thought
about on hearing a few of these stories.
(I'm not the litergeous type but I really like my B.)
Any lawyers on the list?
