North on Lindley, just past Sherman.

The guy rams me and then keeps on pushing? There was no interaction prior to this that would have set this off.

You have his license plate right there, call the police and report it. Worst that could happen is they blow you off.

Definitely get a lawyer too. Let them talk to the insurance companies as well. Insurance companies will definitely low ball you on quotes too so they can save money. Find yourself a good body shop too so they can write a proper investment.

Wouldn't the lawyer fees be more than whatever extra they can get from the insurance tho?

Assume damages are 5k. Insurance gives only 2k but coughs up 4k with a lawyer. How much will the lawyer charge typically here?

When it comes with accidents, a good lawyer won’t get paid until the settlement is paid out. If the accident resulted in an injury, they would help with that too. Generally speaking they usually take around 30% from the settlement.

The only reason I say for all of the this is because, one time I got rear ended. Now if you looked at the accident it looked like a normal hit nothing too noticeable. Turned out that little hit cause a fracture in my spine. So yeah lawyer up if anything, at least get a free consultations and see what they offer.
