Yeah, that's pretty much what I had to do, pay to get my stuff out of the car. The car was destroyed so I didn't want that, and I only had liability insurance so I didn't get reimbursed
They hit me, so their insurance covered it. Actually, they might have been uninsured and my own coverage may have taken care of it.
Those bastard's!
Yeah, I recall the situation sucking. The exact details are a bit more foggy, but it was goddamned expensive to get my shit out of my car. They compromised (as memory serves) and I didn't have to pay the full amount. It was still money I didn't really have at the time.
As for insurance, I've insured my cars (almost always) even before the law required it. You used to be able to drive without insurance, but not so now. At least not in any states I know of. Maybe Florida... They're pretty lax with car regulations.
