I have a dilemma! My car was taken unauthorized and ended up totaled. I have called the cops and I have called my insurance. My dilemma is that I only have liability so I am trying to prepare an accurate case to sue his insurance company. Can anyone tell me what I might need to do to prepare for a proper case and how I go about doing this? Thank you for anyone who helps me.

Hello liv:
Just call up the claims department and start talking.

I gather the car was taken from someone known to you. You simply have to prove it was taken without permission.

First, please do not use private messages for asking questions. They should only be used for personal correspondence. If you have a follow-up reply to the thread.
You need to get an attorney to sue his insurance company which may not cover it because it was unauthorized (illegal) use of the vehicle. They are more likely to cover it if he had permission, depending on the type of coverage he has.
Sorry, I don't have good news for you, but this is what insurance is for, to cover in case of a loss. If you are underinsured, you are out of luck.
