- I have a lawyer
- Not at fault
- Haven't been working for the last month almost
I'm 20 and I got rear ended by a truck. He was going about 40ish and hit the rear of my car and pushed the bumper and trunk lid in. The inner frame of the bumper is almost touching the spare tire and the rear passenger door won't close flush anymore. Its been almost a month and I haven't been to work. I'm self employed and I need my car for work and I haven't gotten a rental or anything from the at fault insurance party. Yet I need to find a place that will rent me a car under 25 and 21 of age including the price increase they give to younger people. My neck has been killing me and my lower back luckily therapy has been helping. Will their party be liable for all my lost wages? I work 7 days a week and have proof but since I'm 1099employee what will I have to prove? I use an app which keeps all my earnings and saved pdfs of my income. My current car cant be used for work since the bumper is being held by the clips near the rear tire that holds onto the carpet under the car which is not so safe considering any drag and the bumper falls off and I don't want to risk someone's life. Including a pushed in bumper I wouldn't feel safe having the idea that if someone rear ends me again my already pushed in bumper and frame won't be as strong. I need a rental car!! Its taking them forever to accept liability and the longer they wait the more money I lose and its putting me on the edge and I can't pay bills no more. My car finance company is harrasing me and my cosigner everyday with multiple calls and I give them the same answer that the insurance still needs to take a look at my car. They don't care about me or the car they want the monthly payment which I can't make sadly. Food will be next very soon I need to work!! Will they all be liable for this? I'm only 20 I want to focus on school not digging local dumpsters for food.
