First off, I am not a lawyer, so any advice you recieve from this post
is worth what you paid for it.

Those must be some expensive bushes. Or was the truck painted with gold?
There's something fishy about that claim and I suspect some bill padding
was done.

I agree.

If it would make you feel better, then by all means do so. Talking to
the lawyer would only cost you his fees and he can provide you with
better advice than anyone here can.

See what your insurance company and the other one do first. They may
just write it off and be done with it.

> Any guidance would be great.
