I sued Monkey Wards in small claims court years ago and won.
What I was entitled too and got was:
- repair cost to fix damage
- cost of rental car for time my car was out of commission
What I was NOT entitled too was and didn't get was:
- Any pain & suffering
- punitive damages
I received about $1,200 in settlement.
Laws can be different from state-to-state, but it's worth a shot.
