What to do if I was in a accident this pass week and we just found out that the at-fault driver lied about having insurance and I recently dropped full coverage?

My sister and I had to be taken to hospital and were diagnosed with whiplash. The car who hit us on the passenger side, had gone onto the shoulder to pass a truck that was turning, and proceeded to hit us as we were turning. I only have liability coverage now. My car is not driveable. What are my options?

you have uninsured motorist coverage with your insurance so there is a minimum of 25K for each of you for your injuries. if you did not have collission then you may habve to repaidr your own car.  you can sue the other driver but that may be fruitless if there are no assets or income there to collect from.  I can help
