Heart broken

I was in a car accident the end of Sept. The guy rear ended me going 70. I didnt have as much damage so i thought maybe my car was fixable. My windows were even still intact i was even able to open my trunk. Just found out today that my car is totaled. Apparently i was hit with such force that half my frame is shattered all the way up to the back seats. The guys said hes never seen anything this bad. Now im stuck in this crappy rental and have to look for a new car. What is a good suv replacement that will not cost an arm and a leg? I literally cried on the phone. This is my favorite vehicle. Its the only one I've ever found with a camera on the passenger side mirror. And i have to find a dr to re eval me. My back pain has gotten worse. I think the ER should have at least gave me scan but they didnt.

No legal expert here but something to consider -
If you do have to get an attorney involved, they will likely get you more money than his insurance is offering BUT they might charge so much that by the time all is settled, you could end up with less money than if you took the insurance company's offer.

I do not know this for fact but it IS something to investigate. Meanwhile, do not sign any forms from his insurance.

For the vehicle, someone on here suggested buying back the wreck and having the good parts put into a different vehicle of the same make and model. Yeah that would get expensive REAL quick and take God knows how long. Plus there wouldn't be any guarantee of longevity of a vehicle that was franken-rigged.
