I had a 10-yr old Ford station wagon which was invaluable to my family. It, even with 150k miles, was in great shape and our only car. I'd just paid new registration, bought new tires and had a sticker applied. We are now without a vehicle because a woman (illegal alien) was driving recklessly behind me, tailgating for a solid mile before hitting me twice while entering my driveway. I wasn't injured, but my car was totaled. I am a single parent paying mortgage, util., private college tuition and have another child a year from entering college. What is my recourse? I cannot afford to take out an auto loan at this time. With the tightening of our economy, I'd prob not be granted a loan. I want the new SUV this woman used to literally run me off the road! Please advise. Thank you!
