Make sure you sue him. Don't just let the police handle it. Hell, you may end up with a Escalade too.

you can't SUE him in canada.

insurance will cover him for the damages and the SUV driver will be fined or sent to jail. that's it, no more.

i dont think you could sue here either. People hear stories without all the facts. take for example the old infamous macdonalds hot coffee spill here in america. people here "she dropped hot coffee on herself and she sued and got millions of dollars" and run with it. In fact though that particular macdonalds had already recieved over 20 warnings from some federal agency telling them that their coffee was 4 times hotter than the legal limit, when it spilt on here she recieved major third degree burns on some 20% of her body, she had to have skin grafts done and was in the hospital for like a month. Also, the millions was knocked down to something like 300,000 after appeal. Consequently American's think they can just "sue" but i really doubt he could get any extra money out of this one. what for, emotional damages?

.....but anybody know the laws lets hear it, that would be awesome. but i hope they send his ass to jail! f-ing tires taller than half your car...damn

my car is wrecked too cuz i got hit from behind when i was doing a left turn and the rear wheel and fender looked like it got PUSHED inwards and i dont know how big the damage is and i find it interesting too see the other car which is a van like one of those new GM uplander type, the air bags of both passenger and driver came on. i want to know if theres like a certain speed level that a car is travelling and then hit something then it would come on what i mean is that would the air bag come on if the other driver is driving at city limit 50km/h? or the air bag would on if you hit something from the front of your car? argh getting into a car accident sucks!
