Thinks s/he gets paid by the post
DH was rear ended on the freeway last week by a woman who fell asleep while driving. His Prius was totaled. He’s doing OK, but his back hurts and he’s pretty sore.
Our insurance company (Amica) has been great. They offered us a very fair amount for his car. We have already purchased a Tesla Model 3 to replace it and we plan to pick it up on Tuesday.
So that leaves us with one issue to deal with. He was on his way to a 3 day ski trip when the accident happened. He had to cancel the trip but still got charged for the hotel room. He’s been to the doctor and been prescribed rest for another week, but we don’t know whether there will be any long term effects from the accident. The driver was insured by Allstate. We have not contacted them yet.
At a minimum I would like to be reimbursed for the hotel charges and doctor’s visits. But what about any future issues related to back pain. Has anyone had to deal with this? Do we need to hire an attorney, or just put Allstate on notice at this point and then wait and see how he is feeling?
