This is what a totaled Boxster GTS 4.0 looks like. Shocking, I know...looks like a little fender bender. $70k+ repairs and that doesn't include having it transported back and forth from Porsche dealership to have the engine/transmission removed/put back in. Progressive threw in the towel after more and more damage was found. Me and the misses are also proud owners of brand new ruptured discs, etc. Thank goodness it was a small car that hit us. Could have been worse. Progressive claims department has been exceptional from the start. It's not hyperbole to say that this car changed my life. Every second behind the wheel with my hand on the shifter and my foot on the clutch has been an absolute joy. She will be sorely missed. RIP
OP: very sorry to see/hear of your misfortune. “Ruptured discs” don’t sound like you’re ‘okay” but I suppose it could be worse. I wish you and your wife speedy and full recoveries, and hope you can get back in to a car that you love.
Brutal, what does the other car look like? Glad you’re ok.
The 17 year old uninsured motorist wasn't wearing a seatbelt and smashed the windshield with her head. Her frontend was banged up pretty good. It looked worse than the Boxster to be honest lol

Glad you're ok for the most part but it sounds like she wasn't paying attention and more than likely texting. She probably has head and neck injuries if she smack the windshield but surprised to hear her airbags didn't go off. Hopefully she learned her lesson at this young age but it cost her dearly.

In a case like this where the person at fault is uninsured, would you file a civil suit?

Yes I would. She likely has no assets but her parents have "vicarious liability". But, unless they have some umbrella policy, I'd never collect on a judgment against them either
Not sure what the legal system is in the US but it the UK this would more than likely go to a criminal court as the 17 year old would be driving against the law which would more than likely result in a ban and incur costs to the claimant.
