How have you handled accident damage (as in I'm looking for other's experience)

I don't know what to say, maybe suggest triple damages for the insurance company intentionally delaying the process. See if you can get a jury trial, people hate insurance companies and would probably award you whatever you ask for.

funny you should mention jury trial..... Being an engineer, I went straight for the efficient path expecting trial by judge. The insurance claims guy mentioned "juries can do funny things". I guess it will be a jury trial. Meeting with the attorney on Monday to draft.

How did this turn out?

It can always get a little worse. $34K damage; knucklehead was cited; knucklehead had $25K limit on insurance and is a bum. I have $1k deductible. Major lesson: always have your dash cam on! Otherwise it is a he said, knucklehead says.
