Q: I was injured while waiting on a bus when 2 vehicles got in wreck. The parts off the vehicles hit me.
The person that caused the wreck delivered to pizzas for Pizza hut but didn't have insurance. Could the insurance from the other vehicle be responsible or pizza hut be responsible since the should be sure the have insured drivers while on duty
A: You may have several ways to get a recovery for your injuries. First, yes, Pizza Hut will likely have some liability if their driver was uninsured. Second, if the other vehicle had any fault for causing the accident you may be able to make recovery there. Third, if you owned a vehicle with insurance at the time of the accident, you may have a claim for uninsured motorist benefits. There may be other aspects of the case that provide an avenue of recovery depending on further facts.
