Please understand, however, that not being at fault does not mean you can't be ticketed for driving without liability insurance coverage. The offense is driving without insurance, not having an at-fault accident without insurance.

In Ohio there is a defined period of time within which you must file a lawsuit to recover for injuries and damages caused due to negligence. If you were a minor under the age of 18 at the time of the accident you had until you turned 20 years old unless the incident involved medical care in which event you had until you turned 19. Not knowing how old you were at the time of your accident, I assume from your description that the incident that occurred 20 years ago would place your claim beyond any statute of limitations unless you were and remain legally incompetent in which even the statute of limitations may be tolled. Sorry but it sounds like you are likely too late to do anything from a legal perspective.
