You cannot recover damages from the person who was not at fault for the accident.

Is there a police report? Did the driver speak with police? Was a no-fault claim made for medical expenses? Various things to explore here. Best to consult with a lawyer before reaching conclusions. VTY, ME Zuller

Believe it or not you may have a claim for personal injuries, however, you need to provide a copy of the police report to an attorney to review. Regarless of whether you can have a legal claim against the driver the no fault insurance will still cover the medical expenses.
