Lawyer input - Texas loss of use claim in auto accident

[fuggled 576]

Hoping someone can help me out here.  My van got rear-ended a week before I was supposed to take the family on a 2-week camping road trip, leaving the rear liftgate unable to open.  Not really having another option, I rented another van for the trip.  The accident was 4 weeks ago and the other guy's insurance finally today accepted liability.  The question is, should I be compensated for the 2 week van rental under a loss of use claim?  The insurance company is only offering to cover a rental while repairs are being made and pushing back because my van was technically still drivable when I had the rental.

Call them back and tell them now your neck and back are bothering you. They’ll probably go ahead and cut a check to get rid of you.

What does your insurance say?

Call your insurance claims dept and discuss.  They may pay for it and subrogate.
