Re: car accident
Your lawsuit would be against the owner of the car and the driver. If you have a car of your own, you should also notify your carrier of a potential claim under the underinsured motorist coverage part of your policy.
Re: car accident
Yes, you absolutely have the right to file a lawsuit against the owner and operator of the vehicle that hit you for any expenses you may have (medical, lost earnings, out of pocket), as well as for your pain and suffering. My firm handles these types of cases and I invite you to contact me to discuss this further.
