The same thing happened to me three months ago so I can sure empathize with you because it cost me $500 to get my truck fixed (deductible) after a drunk, uninsured bimbo side-swiped me on the street.
However, I just look at it that all things are a balance -- and the situation is just part of the risk I accept for living in a (sort of) free society.
