CanI get money for a classic car thatI rebuilt from the person whom rear-ended me?
I was rear-ended waiting for traffic. I was in a 40 year old classic. We both have the same insurance company and it will not give me the full value for my car.

You can reject the settlement offer from the insurance company and can then sue the at-fault party for negligence. You will need to file your lawsuit for negligence prior to the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations or you will lose your rights forever in the matter.
