If you were injured and your medical expenses reach at least $5000 then you may bring a claim against the other driver through his/her insurance company or you may try and settle the claim directly with the other driver if he/she has no insurance or you may bring a legal action against the other driver. With regard to property damage, you may bring a claim against the other driver regardless of whether you have any medical expenses. You can settle the property damage claim with the other driver or take him/her to court.
