I was in the car driving this past weekend with my 2 kids
5, and 9.
A guy in a huge suburban, compared to my smaller 05 toyoto camary, guns his car, out of a store onto the road, hits my car. I was doing NOTHING wrong, just driving down the road.
My daughter bumped her head, was crying, freaked me out BAD.
My son bumped his head on the seat. Both had seatbelts on, both are ok. I was sore in my neck all day that day, I guess between the jolt, and tensing, stress, ect.
Car taken in, so I had no car today or yesterday- that was crap.
the car at the repair place said they would really look at it on monday. It drained all the fluid, soap, and water out of car, and damaged around the front tire.Dont know what that cost will total.
I so greatful to God no one was hurt.
I think his insurance company should pay something other than just repairs. Will they? If so what? It was a terrible experience.

You should have gotten the insurance information from the other person that hit you. Something similiar happened to my mom and she try to claim the damages to the person's insurance but they were being slow to respond. She called a lawyer and the lawyer made sure they covered everything including medical fees. Have you thought of consulting lawyer?

The insurance company is not going to pay for anything more than the damages to the car. You don't have any medical bills to pay anyway.
If you want to sue them for emotional distress, I doubt you have a strong enough case. You didn't experience anything different than anyone else that is involved in a fender bender.
Some things in life suck when they happen to you. People that are sue-happy make it suck for everyone else, too. Just be happy that everyone is all right, deal with the inconvenience, and let the Lord deal with the guy that hit you.....

An accident is just that, an accident. It frankly doesn't matter if someone is at fault. You're all alive and just a little worse for the wear. Life will go on. Money won't help anything.

If you suffer any bodily harm, you are in power to make a claim for recompensation for medical fees. Other than that, I fail to see how you ethically and morally are in a position to exact any form of monetary compensation from him.
