a drunk driver ran the stop sign and rammed and totaled my car.?
Me and my daughter were largely unharmed, only had bruises but no fractures or anything. The insurance already paid the car value and GAP insurance will soon pay the difference. Since i am really unharmed and there's no loss of income whatever, should i still sue the other driver? if so, on what grounds?

You don't have anything to sue for. You can try to sue, but you probably won't get very far with it.

depends on state law where this happened- State of Confusion it seems-- or Maybe State of Delusion? Property damage taken car of now, only concern would be possible near future medical bills- whip lash injuries show up a couple weeks later are real- so now shortly after crash is time for blood test, pressure check and flex of spine, neck. neck and lower back, mabe eyes, nose if air bag deployed and retina got a scratch or inner vein popped. depending on state laws- a medical check may be required within so many days of accident to be consider as part of 'fault' , blurred vision, headaches from mild to progressive concussion is a concern, loss of memory and change of mood as result of head truama needs quick relief- blood pressure meds may take care of problem now, body heals in 6 months then. no treatment means build up of pressure in skull, sinus that effect vision and maybe 6 months later need expensive treatment- but no med check after crash means no record of injury to be paid for by insurance company. Schedule med check, file with insurance company if state law requiers notice- might be couple hundred for med check that catches eyeball pressure, saves eyesigtht with simple laser cauterizing done early . .

Although you don't really need a reason to sue anyone, in order to *WIN*, you will need a reason. Because your car was "totaled", is not a winnable reason. You don't seem to have a winnable reason. Why would you even consider suing?

You have nothing to sue for, since insurance paid for your totaled car and is settled. I know what you are thinking is that the driver was drunk, so you should sue the driver (because) he was drunk.
The good news is that insurance pays for drunk drivers and if they did not, then you would have had to sue the drunk to pay for your vehicle damages, but they paid so nothing is left to sue for. .

If you have no medical expenses, you cannot pursue a bodily injury claim. Your property damage claim is settled. You have nothing to sue for.

If you had an insurance deductible to pay and any other expenses not paid by the insurance settlement, such as a rental car, you can subrogate against the other driver to recover that money you had to spend. Your own insurance company can handle that for you. and they should have brought it up.
