Your question can not be answered without being able to read any papers you signed in settling with the insurance company. It doesn't appear that the statute of limitations may have run, but without reviewing the settlement documents, if any, I'd say see a lawyer. Most of us don't bite.

Can I sue the drunk driver that caused me neck and back pain? I was rear ended by a drunk driver in November 2010. His insurance company outsourced the claim to a company that specializes in these sort of cases. I got a little money from his insurance, but not enough to cover all of my loss and expenses. Is it too late to sue? Would it even be worth it? I took the ambulance ride to the hospital to get checked out. They didn't find anything wrong. A couple of days later I had significant neck and back pain, saw a chiropractor. I still have neck and back pain that I did not have before the accident. I was a delivery driver on a delivery. I was unable to deliver after the accident.

FAQs

Civil damage lawsuits and criminal law deaths, OWI and drunk driving

Do I have to be present during settlement? Do I have to be with my lawyer when a settlement is made for my personal injury claim? I really do not want to face my neighbors right now. My son was bitten by their dog and they claim that it was my son's fault. I want my solicitor to stick to the amount that I want them to pay me. Can my solicitor make the settlement in my behalf?

Can we sue someone who hit us after a DUI? My pregnant wife was driving the car and a drunk driver hit us and ruined the car. Cops came and gave the guy a DUI. No injuries but I am wondering, am I obligated to a claim because now she is scared to drive or be inside a car.

What can I do if I am caught driving without a license again? I was in an accident; I do not have a license. Took a chance to get back and work. I have been caught before and this will make it my third felony driving while suspended. The ticket written was only for not providing a license, what can I do?
