Legal Question in Personal Injury in California

I was a 50% owner of a small business... I was involved in an accident in a company owned vehicle driving for the purposes of the company. My company had the minimum required insurance, which not only didnt cover all the damage, but there was no coverage for injury to myself at all. Among other issues between myself and the other owner, the accident created a rift which ended in my half of the company being bought by my partner. In the contract he assumed all company responsibilities past and present. I am currently seeing a physician due to numbness and weakness in my arm that appears to be attributable to the accident. I am contemplating seeking some type of financial compensation for my injuries from what was previously my company. Do I have recourse to do this?

Ido not see anyway you can collect anything from the company beyond whatever medical linsurance plan yu have. Since youwere an owner yuo ar not covered by Workers' Compensation. You were driving the vehicel; where is there any company fault? [unless you can show something was defective with the car so the company was negligent in letting you drive it].
