Re: parking lot accident
Not only can you sue, you will have to sue the other party to recover damages. If the insurance carrier and other party will not cooperate, your only recourse is to file a lawsuit. In addition to the property damage, did you sustain any personal injury? The answer to this question will determine whether you choose to sue the other party in small claims court (which has a $5,000 limit of recovery) or in Superior Court with the assistance of an attorney. Let me know if I can be of any assistance.

Obviously, you can sue. Do a diagram, take photos and have your evidence in order. If your car is your only claim, you can go into small claims court.
