[300stw]

my parents are on an out of state hunt for a month, they were involved in awreck that totaled their truck

guy ran a stop sign and t boned ther dodge dually, totalling it, they dont carry full coverage insurance, there personal insurance no help

other party insurance said there on there own to get home, they need to stop incurring expenses, only pay 5 days storage on there truck, dad just got out of hospital, non life threating injuries,

I'm sorry I have no advice to offer but that is a sucky situation to find themselves in and I hope they come up with a reasonable solution that does not set them back too much. Thankfully they came out of the crash ok.

Sorry to hear about it, crappy situation. do they have a trailer that needs be towed back? If not, would look at a cheap rental car. Maybe uhaul pickup and tow the wrecked pickup home?

I ended up renting a truck so we could continue our hunting trip. I kept meticulous records of all expenses we incurred because of the crash.

In the end everything was covered including a decent settlement for "pain and suffering". However, it was a total pain in the ass and I'm sorry your folks are going through this.
