What t do if my car was hit by an unisured driver and I suffered an injury?
My car was hit yesterday. I am not sure if there is frame damage yet but it is most likely totaled. The driver was at fault. He has no insurance on his company vehicle. I believe this is his company though. He lied to me and the police about having insurance. Today my neck is a little sore and I do landscaping on the weekend; I am sure I will be out of work should my pain persist. I have insurance. What type of legal action can I take against him?

I am so sorry. And you have uninsurance/underinsurance coverage? Then report the accident to your company and send them a letter by certified mail that you are making the claim against your own policy. It puts them on notice. Then go and speak with a doctor as to your injuries and an attorney as to suing the person responsible. If they are shielded from liability because of the incorporation status of the company you may have a long road ahead to pierce the corporate veil and get at the assets. But if he has personal assets then you can go after them. Good luck.
