Legal advice?

My parents were just recently hit by a drunk driver, they are fine but they can't drive their car, the back-side is smashed in. They had it towed to the repair shop, they won't have thier car for two weeks. Both my parents work really far from where they live. They need a rental car, but I think it's wrong for them to pay for it, I think the drunk who smashed their brand new car should pay. How would they go about getting her to pay for it? She has horrible insurance.Legal advice?
I recommend you have them contact a personal injury lawyer in your area. You can look in the phone book, get a referral from someone who knows attorneys in your area, websites like findlaw.com or contact your county bar association.





Personal injury lawyers usually work on what is called contingency which means they don't charge legal fees unless they recover for you. If they recover, they will take a percentage of any monetary recovery, which is usually around a third, minus the costs.





Good luck and glad your parents are ok.Legal advice?
wow, sorry but, you'd have to be more indepth. what angle the drunk driver was coming from, what speed your parents were going, was there an intersection? if so, what kind? there's just so many things you got to take into consideration. and keep in mind that most of car insurance today only covers certain stuff. so far, from what your telling me. nobody has done nothing wrong except the drunk driver for being drunk. a Ddriver can hit you and it can still be legal.
Does the person responsible for the accident have insurance? If he does not, does he own any real estate or investments? Does he have a large income? If the answer to the above questions is no, do not bother to sue. You may win a judgment against him but you will not be able to collect on it. Do your parents have collision insurance? That insurance might pay.
