You might have to make sure the loss of use amount is included in your claim to the other driver's insurance company. If they do not agree to include this amount, that's when a lawyer can really come in handy, if nothing more than to write a letter to them showing you're serious. But lawyer hours can add up quickly, killing any advantage to using one, if you need much more than a letter. Since you're working it through your own insurance, hopefully they will amenable and diligent about getting this amount covered for you.
BTW, a lot of lawyers will do a free, short little consultation, especially if they know that all you need is 2 minutes' worth of advice.
Really sorry this messed up your trip. But very glad you are ok healthwise.
Thank you so much, Mike. I appreciate your response and advice. That's what I was hoping for, with a lawyer consult, to make sure I've got all my ducks in a row.
