Re: rear-ended - no insurrance

You can may be able to obtain compensation for pain and suffering, she may not. Their insurance should pay wage loss, medicals and property damage for all. YOU should get a lawyer

This is just general information. No representations are made and no attorney client relationship is established by this communication. In most matters there are strict time limitations within which actions may be taken or your rights will be compromised. We are not taking any action on your matter and will not be considered your attorney or tax representative until both you and we have signed a fee agreement.

We, therefore will take no action on your behalf unless a written retainer agreement is signed. There are strict deadlines, called statutes of limitation, within which claims or lawsuits must be filed. Therefore, if you do not retain SELIKLAW, you should immediately seek the services of another attorney or other advisor.

Re: rear-ended - no insurrance

Your girlfriend is out of luck for pain and suffering. California law does not allow a driver, who is uninsured, to recover for pain and suffering (non-economic damages). The most she can recover is her medical bills and lost earnings. You are not as bad off and do have a claim against the other driver. See an attorney if you want to pursue that claim If your girlfriend was not at fault, but still not insured, she should see an attorney who specializes in DMV matters.

Re: rear-ended - no insurrance

I agree with Mr. Snyder's answer, but his list of the types of damages your girlfriend can recover was incomplete -- she can also recover for the damage to her car.
