Legal Question in Personal Injury in Massachusetts
I was in an accident with a woman in a rental car. It was completely her fault, having three witnesses confirm in the police report. The woman sped off, but I got her license plate number and contacted the rental car company. Her insurance had run out and she had not returned the rental car for over a month. Is the insurance company of the rental car company liable for my damages considering they have not found the woman?

You can try to obtain information from the rental car company. She may have purchased insurance through them, or she may have disclosed to them who her normal automobile insurer was.
Most likely, you will need to contact your own insurance company and seek compensation from your underinsured/uninsured motorist protection.
Good luck.
