My neighbour damaged my car. He said he would pay to repair it. I gave him estimates and he has never paid. Now the car has been written off due to a accident. Can I still make him pay. He told us he never intended to pay so he won't now. i am about to file a claim in small claims court.

If the damage caused by your neighbour was depreciated from the value of your car before the insurance company issued their final settlment, you should be compensated by your neighbour for that lost value. Should your neighbour reneg on his promise, with proper evidence that your neighbour was responsible for that damage, and proper evidence that your insurance did in fact give you less because of outstanding damage on the car, you should prevail in small claims court and recover your loss.

Who has written the car off? If your insurance company has written it off, then they must have also paid out your claim. You can not claim from both your insurance company and your neighbour. It sounds as though you need the services of a lawyer to find out if you have a viable claim or not.
Good luck in getting it settled. It's a real bummer when things like this happen between neighbours, as it makes for a very unfriendly relationship afterwards.

Since the damage predated your total loss of the car you are still due the money for the initial damage from your neighbor. The two events have nothing in common.

you will desire to tell her what he did, yet no longer in a harsh way. basically stay calm and clarify that he had issues protecting it in, and so on. by ability of ways, did the owner provide you his crate and toys? He would desire to be napping in a crate at night, with the aid of fact he will carry it for many longer if he's restrained to his area. additionally, he would desire to be provided with a rotation of toys to chew and play with so he would not discover different issues to do (eg. chew your headphones.) A bored dogs is a destructive dogs. solid success!

If you can prove the damage that he caused before the accident then I think you can.

He owes the money to your insurance not you.
