A:
Not sure what your question is. If it is whether you can file a claim, yes you can. However the statute of limitations may be a problem depending on the date of the crash and what state you lived in.
You need to consult an attorney. Members of the Association for Justice of your state give free consultations.
A:
It's not fully clear what happened here, but the best starting point to inquire about your rights would be to consult with an attorney who handles car accidents. Many offer free initial consultations.
