What is the difference in a settlement for a rear ended auto accident and fender bender?

Question

I was rear ended here in california and I don't know if my settlement will fall into a statute of limitation on amounts to be paid for such accidents.

Answer 1

I was rear ended in a similar situation.

2 years is Missouris statue of limitations - which is nice that we have time to get more $ out of them for pain & suffering - but not so good as I may not have a car for that long.

Answer 2

They don't assign value as to where you were hit, if you aren't at fault you will get whatever the cost is to repair, or in the case of a total loss, fair market value assuming the at fault party has insurance that has accepted fault.  I really don't understand the question about statute of limitation.
