My question involves an accident that occurred in Australia.
I know Australia may be foreign to many of this forums' users but the bottom line is i am a student with no insurance and i am desperate.
I was at fault for a rear end collision 5 months ago and have only recently recieved the claim from the other party's insurance company. The claim includes the cost to the individual to hire another vehicle over the peiod the damaged car (van) was at a repairer shop ($3000). That period was 29 days. The sedan i was driving had far more significant damage to it and took no more than a week to repair. I may be ignorant but i fail to see how a car with far less damage to it can take four times the duration it took to get my vehicle back. It feels like i'm being milked, is there anything one can do? I know this information isn't overly insightful but anything is greatly appreciated.
