In addition to the damages for the total loss of the vehicle, you are also entitled to the charges incurred for a comparable rental vehicle and/or the loss of the use of your vehicle for reasonable period of time.

It depends on whether you are in Federal court or state court. Compiling the Appendix for federal court is so complex, that many attorneys pay a service to do this. Usually, when you file an appeal in Federal Court (that is with the Federal Circuit Court of Appeals), You get inundated with offers from these services. They really do not cost much above the costs you would pay for copies even if you do it yourself. Last time I filed an appeal in Federal Circuit Court, I was going to do the index myself, but decided to go with a service and was glad I did. If you are in State Court, and you were sent a record on appeal, then you must be the Respondent, because the Appellant Complies the ROA (in South Carolina). I do not know what the appendix is. It really depends on what forum you are appealing to 9for example, appealing from the decision of an administrative agency to administrative law court differs from appealing from a civil court to the appellate court. Sometime, when I as a lawyer, cannot figure out what the rule I am trying to follow means, I call the Clerk of Court for the court I am appealing to and ask, "what is the appendix". Usually they help, sometimes they do not.
