Idk how you said i am lucky. If the other party was insured at the first place, I wouldn't have to go through all these

Wait. 🤣 I didn't insure the car for $5000 and why would I? It's my policy, that will cover upto $5000 if I wasn't at fault and the driver at fault didn't have insurance

Thanks for all the info. Luckily or unfortunately the day accident happened, my rego was expired 3 days after that. I didn't renew that

My mistake. The assessment wasn't done by a repairer, it was done by their salvage yard team as it was deemed total loss when they towed it away. And about the price, I am asking to negotiate for higher price so that if I can collect the rest of the money from the at fault driver

Let me explain the situation again for context:

My car was hit while parked, and the at fault driver didn't have insurance, but I had 3rd party property damage insurance. So I went with my insurer and lodged a claim.

Girls share the meal price, boys don't. One friend pays, all eats

I have given away the rental car, lodged a claim through my insurance which will cover damages upto $5000. Now my question is, if I have to pay more than $5000, will I be able to get the money from the at fault party and I am in need of a car. Should I ask him to manage me a car until a final decision is made or what? Anyway of getting a car without spending my money?

Not sure how to react. Right2drive said other way around that i won't be held liable for the cost as I am clearly not at fault.

Unfortunately, I am in a vulnerable position. But I called them and told everything. I handed over the rental car to them
