Yes, it would appear you have a claim to allege negligent conduct in a personal injury and property damages suit.

Check with a lawyer in your locale to discuss more of the details.

Good luck to you.

God bless.

By using or participating in this site you understand that there is no attorney client privilege between you and the attorney responding. This site should not be used as a substitute for competent legal advice from a licensed professional attorney that practices in the subject practice discipline and with whom you have an attorney client relationship along with all the privileges that relationship provides. The law changes frequently and varies from jurisdiction to jurisdiction. The information and materials provided are general in nature, and may not apply to a specific factual or legal circumstance described in the question.

If you have been injured, you should immediately go to an emergency room to document your injuries. Failure to seek treatment will be used against you in the event you file a personal injury claim.

If you are hurting, you should contact a personal injury attorney in your area and see whether or not the attorney is able to undertake your representation.

If this is simply a property damage claim, you should file a claim against the adverse insurance carrier. They will assign an adjuster who will evaluate the damages and attempt to get them repaired or pay you for the value of your vehicle if it is totaled.

May also find it helpful to review some of the Legal Guides I have published on Avvo.com, many of which deal with the situations you face following a collision.

You also should get automobile liability insurance coverage to protect you in the event the shoe was on the other foot.
