Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well-preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, scotch in one hand, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming HOOOOYA !!!!!

Maybe you could get a free consultation with a lawyer to see if you can get the insurance to cover it, or go for suing the public transit people to get your car fixed. Things like lawyers and the BBB can tend to shift the tides a little in your favor sometimes, if used properly. Just a thought.

If you sue, do it in small claims without a lawyer. A lawyer's fees will cost whatever you would get in a property damage settlement, so it's not worth it (lawyers are only good for bodily injury claims, imo).

When your insurance said it was "no-fault," did they mean not your fault, not the bus' fault, or comparative negligence?

From what I was told, comparative negligence. Since they couldn't figure out who was more to blame they decided that everyone should deal with their own repairs.

Do you not have COL coverage? And yeah, bus drivers are never at fault. They're almost as bad as tow-truck drivers.

Still, if you were in your lane the entire time and there were witnesses present (whose information was taken down), it sounds like your insurance company didn't do too terribly thorough of an investigation. Then again, if it came down to word vs. word you're lucky the bus company isn't going after you (which, in my mind, would be more evidence they're at fault). Did you have any witnesses from the bus or elsewhaere?
