Hello all
I was rear-ended by someone Jan 31st, no license, but he had Founders Insurance.
They sent me a check for $283, which I am certain will not replace my rear bumper and the rear bumper reinforcement, and paint.
I did some research, and a generally accepted dollar amount for this claim is $1200 or so (as of 2003 via miata.net, may be higher now)
All the research I have done points toward hiring an attorney, which is too much expense and hassle. I've contacted my insurance company, but don't want to go through them and pay the $500 deductable.
Any of you professionals have any tips for squeezing some more money out of these idiots? I know I need to send them a letter, but advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
