Glad you were able to get some compensation. Bummer you weren't able to be made whole. The law is sometimes really weird.
In my case (small claims) the judge said damages were way over their limit and recommended it go to a higher court. The guy who injured me in NYC (rabbi in training) split town and disappeared before I could get my case into a higher court.
