What can I do to get driver at fault to pay for damages to my car?

John Bisnar It is to expensive to hire a car accident attorney to represent you in a matter like this, in my opinion.  If you can get an attorney to write a demand letter for you at a reasonable price, that may be a great way to go. First thing I would do is contact my insurance company and see if they are going to pursue the truck driver for the money they paid to fix the car.  Your insurance company is entitled to get back what they paid from the truck driver.  If you can, work with them to collect both your $500 deductable and your $600 rental car bill. If you do nothing and your auto insurance company collects what they have paid out from the truck driver, they should be collecting and reimbursing to you your $500 deductable. If you can't get it worked out with your insurance company to collect the money for you, sue in small claims court.
