Q: Can I get compensation for this?
was at stop light at A Intersection waiting for the green light and as I am waiting my car gets hit on from behind and caused damage as well to other person car endured damage too. I am not on the insurance company car policy Of the owners vehicle I do have permissive use of the vehicle (verbal) I am wondering if it is possible get compensation from the accident for medical bills and damages to the car. As we speak am waiting for police report which will take about 10 days to receive it..
A: A Texas attorney could advise best, but your question remains open for a week. Yes, based on your post, it sounds like you should be able to get compensation. From your description, the other vehicle appears to be fully at fault. One option is to reach out to Texas law firms. Attorneys who handle such cases generally offer free initial consults without obligation. I hope you and the others involved in the accident are okay. Good luck
Raymond Chow agrees with this answer
A: Even if you didn't have any insurance, you're still entitled to recover for medical bills, lost wages, and pain and suffering if you were not at fault and at-fault's auto insurance accepts liability.
