From what I know is that they can, but they can only sue for physical damages to themselves, not their car.  Chances are the courts will find him/her negligent for not having insurance in the first place, but you never know.

Do you have the objective protocol signed by cops etc, including photos, evidences, etc?\nIs there any collision in interpretation of what happened?\nDid the driver and/or driver insurance company refused to provide the compensation for medical treatment etc?\n\nPublish the story on the web with evidences (could be illegal in some states and in general, not recommended, only if you're not ABSOLUTELY sure you're right on 150%). Dig the story (dig.com). If your story is unique and the scale of injustice to you was really big, then this driver's life   & carrier is corrupted forever. Just real criminal could not be affected by that (nothing to lose).\n\nStill, it's too exteme, doh. Please handle with care, and only if you did all you can, like the last resort.

If she was on private property the situation may possibly be different in some states from on a public street. Also, in most states (but not necessarily all, see the Calif. case at http://snurl.com/uninsuredalien ) one is not necessarily barred from suing just because s/he her/himself is uninsured. But it's illegal to drive uninsured. \n\nAnd it shouldn't be possible: your car's tags are canceled in many states; your insurance agent has to report the non-renewal to you and to the DMV in those states.\n\nIt would be wise to see an experienced auto crash and moving violation lawyer to sort this out. You can't/shouldn't do it by yourself. There are hospital bills to be paid.\n\nIf you don't know any lawyers DON'T use the Yellow Pages. Go down to court and spend an hour listening to cases (DUI, etc.; also civil cases from accidents). Talk to lawyers and their clients. Pick a lawyer that way.

I was told when debris is on the roadway and damages your vehicle it is considered "an act of god" I'd contact a lawyer in your state

I don't understand what you said about the damage. You say that it almost caused a fatal accident, but did cause slight windshield damage. That doesn't sound like a truthful statement. \n\nMost plow operations have rules that exempt them from certain rules of the road and some liability. That would be something a lawyer would have to decide, which could get expensive.\n\nIf all you have in damage is $500, it probably wouldn't be worth it to hire a lawyer and sue. You would wind up spending more money on him that the damage. This is not a cost effective thing to fight, right or wrong. Let you insurance take care of it.

When settling your insurance claim with an insurance company you will be dealing with an adjuster. You need to remember that although this person deals with insurance negotiations on a weekly basis they are also a human being. They are doing their job but they also understand that you need to be paid for your vehicle’s damage and bodily injuries if there are any. \n\nOnce you get it in your head that the adjuster is just like you it will be easier to speak with them. The adjuster will want to tape your phone conversations and that is fine, just think before you speak. Do not say anything that might sound like you were at fault if you were not. Do not say you feel fine when in reality you are in pain from your injuries. \n\nThe best resource that you can have during negotiations is your detailed records. These records should include all the documents you have collected after the accident occurred. This includes the police report, medical records, and estimates on the car damage and so on. If you have any bodily injuries ask the doctor to note any aches or pains you report to them so that they will be detailed enough for the adjuster to understand your physical difficulties caused by the accident. \n\nThe best time to speak to the adjuster is when you have all of your documentation laid out in front of you. Use your common sense and knowledge of what has happened to you. If you feel the adjuster is offering a fair amount than take it. If you are not offered a reasonable amount by the adjuster tell them how you feel. Give them a number you would be satisfied with. \n\nAuto Quotes:  http://www.insureme.com/landing.aspx?Refby=614506&Type=auto\n\nRon @ InsureMe

Hey Friend,\nI think you need a new lawyer or you need to talk plainly to the one you have.. Ask him these questions..I'm not a lawyer, but , an insurance  company insures a person for a certain amount..  ie.. my policy is a 1/3/1 policy 100,000 in liability 300,000 in bodily injury 100,000 in property damage. So as I understand it If I hit you and it's my fault then you could get a maximum of 300,000 in bodily injury.  My agent tells me that this is what I should have and that it is more than the state mandated minimum.  So it sounds like your injuries and damages exceed whatever your or the other persons insurance will cover. If it we're the other persons fault you could sue them for the amount over what their insurance will cover.  In your circumstance there is no one to sue. So look at your policy and whatever your limits of coverage are is what you can get.  NOW if the lawyer is on the pay of your insurance company you REALLY need a second opinion from someone not affiliated with your insurance company.  Good luck.\nKeith

The burden of proof is on her and her insurance company to prove you hit her vehicle. My advice close-up/detailed pictures of your vehicle immediately. Contact your agent immediately and tell him what happened, insist that you did not hit the vehicle, include the detail that the woman had already moved her vehicle, so niether of you can prove how close you actually were. This is a case where your insurance company will fight for you, they don't want to pay a false claim. Good luck.

Rather than asking people on here, many of whom are likely to make up answers based on what they've read/heard/seen, you're probably best off seeking legal advice.  You will have to prove that your employer was neglegent though, and that the accident was their fault.

There isn't really a "law", you have to describe what happened.  If they did this and you were injured as a result, you have a tort claim.  But you cannot just sue someone for doing something dangerous if no one was injured.

No. Workmen compensation claim paid amount wont get affected if the person gets disability. Only when the person is found not eligible for getting compensation, then only he has to repay. If the person is not repaying, then the insurance company will sue against him

You are on the hook because it was your car. Now you are in legal trouble for leaving the scene of an accident and your boyfriend is hanging you out to dry.  I would turn him in if he doesn't do it himself.  I would also call my insurance company and at least let them know what is going on.

How much were your belonging worth? Do you have any proof, e.g., receipts, etc.? Not any attorney, but doubt you could sue for more than actual damages and court costs. Have you contacted the owner or insurance company.

The car that rear ended you has insurance. If it was considered by the cars insurance company that you had caused the accident by driving unlawfully or what ever it is reasonable to ask why the insurance company are not requiring you to pay for the damage to the car that rearended you I would be seeking advice from a solicitor it seems like they are bluffing you.
