What is needed is VIGOROUS enforcement of cell phone and texting (distracted driving) laws. It's been bad for well over 15 years. You see crinkled hoods and front ends all over the place.
Pal at a red light in NC was slammed by a texter going 45 mph. Ohh yeah, he said he was sorry.
Always keep repair records and have them ready to print out. A man hit my car while parked. His insurance offered $0.75. I produced over $3,000 in receipts which the insurance company paid in full.
Always keep receipts. Kira
How did said friend not lean over and knock him out?

They don't know what's coming. And I've got plenty of it to spread around for a long time to come.
The wife said get a lawyer. Naw, lawyers are reasonable people.
Definitely get what you deserve and then some. The stupid, texting kid should be severely punished for his/her stupidity, and the most effective method seems to be getting hit hard by a law suit.
Except he is probably a turnip: as in, you can't get blood from one. He'll probably just shrug, and either walk away or declare bankrupcy.
That's about the extent of it.
I have sued two people in small claims court representing myself and have gotten verdicts in my favor both times.
However, I have a 50% success rate in getting the money out of them.
If this is a kid with little to nothing, he will file a bankruptcy the first time you slap a wage garnish on him.
Ruining that kid's credit history for a minimum of two years, maybe up to seven? Worth it!
