   Answered June 10, 2012 08:32. You can bring a civil suit to recover all damages you suffered as the result of his actions which were not covered by your or his insurance.
   
   Your state and county bar associations can assist you with referrals. Your local court may also have a lawyer of the day program which could help you with a small claims suit.

   The foregoing is for general information purposes and does not establish an attorney-client relationship.
