Q: Can I sue someone for hitting my car and saying they would pay because they didn’t have insurance but still hasn’t paid?
I got a police report and it states that he told them he would take care of it and I have texted messages from him saying he will bring the money but keeps giving me an excuse the day he is supposed to bring it to me. He also had no insurance at the time of the accident and has recently bought a new vehicle
A: A New Mexico attorney could advise best, but your question remains open for two weeks. It's possible you might have options through your own insurance under UM (uninsured motorist) coverage. One would need to see the policy to say for certain. You could review your policy provisions with your insurance broker. Good luck
