A: You may have a claim against the driver of the truck and his automobile liability insurance. That would be an easier case than trying to sue the company who owns the apartment complex.

In the event that the driver's insurance denies the claim, you may also have a valid claim against your automobile insurance carrier for uninsured/underinsured motorists coverage.
