Leesburg, FL Personal Injury Law Firms & Lawyers

There is really no such thing as a no fault accident. Someone is always at fault and here it sounds like you are at fault. If you have no personal assets it is likely that the insurance company will threaten to sue you, but won't because it will not be economically beneficial to try to spend money to get nothing from you. It is more likely that they will reimburse their insured through their uninsured motorist coverage. If you do have assets they may decide to sue you (or if they just feel litigious). If you are sued you will be served with the lawsuit. The lawsuit will say how much they are asking for. You can agree to pay that amount; you could try and negotiate the case with the attorney yourself, or you could hire your own attorney. What you do not want to do is ignore a lawsuit because then the court will automatically award the other side what they were asking for. For now you are kind of in a wait and see mode.

Technically you might have a case, assuming there is good evidence to prove they were negligent.  However, with minor injuries, many personal injury lawyers would be unable to accept the case.  The reason is that the time and expense in litigating make it difficult for us to handle cases unless the recovery is likely to be large enough to pay for that time and expense.  But, you should consult with a lawyer near you, because we cannot know enough about the facts to give you a reliable answer online.  Please do not rely on this answer in making your decisions.  Best of luck to you!
