Will I be harming the person I’m suing if I start a personal injury case?
This is a common question. After all, if you were a passenger you might well find yourself in a position of bringing a claim against a loved one just to meet your own bills.
The argument isn’t usually really between you and the at-fault driver, however. It’s between you and the at-fault driver’s insurance company. The driver’s premiums may go up, but given an auto accident just occurred that was likely going to happen anyway. A personal injury case is a civil case, not a criminal one.
You might cause some financial harm to an uninsured motorist, which is why it’s not a good idea to get into a car with someone you know doesn’t have insurance. Uninsured motorists are breaking the law. Unfortunately, they’re more likely to cause you harm than the other way around—since an uninsured motorist rarely has the assets to cover your medical bills, lost wages, pain, and suffering.
