can I sue someone (for lost wages, medical bills, car rental fees, deductibles etc.) that hit me in a car accident (police report to prove it was their fault) if I have limited tort but they had no insurance at all. the accident was dec. 6 2013 and I still have no vehicle because it took until Christmas eve for my insurance company to even get my vehicle to the shop to start the work on it. I am out of a rental because my insurance only covers $1000.00 and it is up now. I had to pay 20% of the rental I had. the garage said it will take till around feb. 2014 to get my vehicle back.
Answer
Yes you can sue someone for your out of pocket costs, hopefully you will find a local attorney to assist you. However, if they have no insurance you may have difficulty collecting on the judgment if you win.
In PA you can purchase uninsured and under-insured motorist coverage to reimburse you for the next time an uninsured driver hits you.
Good luck.
