Dang! Call his insurance company and ask: "I need a rental car. Do you want to provide one from your contracts or do I need to add that to my claim?" It's cheaper if he handles it.
Wear those seatbelts.

Ryan--They owe you a rental car.
Try to when I can, its pretty hard for me to get a sat or Sunday off.
On another note, guy that hit me was arrested for suspicion of DWI, at 9 in the morning. wow. And he did have good insurance, thank goodness.
I hear you, it's next to impossible to get time off right now. I'm off Mon/Tues on deep nights. Maybe we can figure something out one of these days. Let me know if you want to go.

You talked with them already, or you just expect this?
Does your own insurance cover you on this? If so, they will pay the claim less your deductible then go after his liability, but then you might want a lawyer still. It's the job of either claims agent to minimize payments of course.
A good lawyer might want to go for personal damages so you will need to decide whether you want to go after as much as possible or settle easily. If the latter, an attorney may cost more than he's worth to you.
Dang! :shocked2: I'm so glad that you came out of that crumpled wreck!Had an interesting morning today. Had a guy hit me on 635 at approx 70 mph, which caused my suv to flip approx 5-6 times on the exit ramp and into a ditch. I always get onto family and friends that don't wear them, well he is another reason to. I have no doubt in my mind had I not been wearing it, I would have either been dead or still in the hospital. Luckily I always do wear it and only had some minor cuts and soreness.
As for the car, a friend had a bad accident and put it this way ... "It gave it's life, to save mine"
Seat belts help and I wont go anywhere without them on .. and for those that say they wont wear them, ... I try to explain that in a vehicle with air bags, not wearing your seatbelt can quickly kill you, even if the accident was minor one.

WTH? that bites
Are you talking about the guy that hit you is unlicensed and has no insurance? ... who's car was he driving? ... if not his own car , then the cars owner's insurance might be liable
Ryan - if Texas is a no-fault state (I think it is) then your insurance should help you out.
BTW - reading this thread, it is interesting to see the difference in attitudes towards seat belts than in this thread: http://www.scubaboard.com/forums/non-diving-related-stuff/363499-boat-seat-belts.html where a couple of folks are very anti-belt.

That makes no sense?
The car is covered for liability regardless of who is driving generally.
