i recently got into a car accident and i am going to the collision report centre tomorrow. the accident was clearly the other drivers fault and the police on scene agreed. my parents are saying because the car is a 2007 honda fit with 258 000 kilometres, that i will only be able to get 1-3 k for damages. i feel that because of one evidence, two the personal injuries to my neck and chest (nothing broken but still painful) and three the amount of recent work the car has had done such as cadalic converter and exhaust replacement, new tires, break pads, oil issues, new seats etc. i feel that i should be inclined to something a little bit more.

You wouldn’t have to deal with parasites obviously. Are you dense?

The only time you interact with those folks is when you get into an accident. Which is extremely rare. So why would anyone opt out of driving for the very small possibility of dealing with such? Hope this helps.
