And I got a Witness.

You can only sue the state if the state or a state employee did something wrong. Did you get the tag number of the car that hit you? Have you filed an accident report, if so, then possibly the police department will have information on the car that hit you and you can pursue that claim.
My crash report only indicates that I ran over some debris on the hwy which caused me to wreck & doesn’t mention anything about the 18 wheeler that dropped all of that scrap metal along the hwy which eventually caused their own trailer to turn over!
The cop was clearly in the wrong and that was known by all parties and witnesses. However, when the report came out, it stated that I was never given a breathalyzer test. Can I sue for this?

Yes, you can sue the cop for rear-ending you. None of the other allegations in your question really matter.
You can recover the cost to repair your vehicle, loss of use, your medical expenses, and depending upon the nature and extent of your bodily injuries, maybe even pain and suffering.

It is difficult to tell based on these facts alone. There has to be fault, that is, someone did they something they shouldn't or failed to do something they should have.
The insurance company does not want to pay me. Also stating that I owe them money. Is this right? They've sent me a demand letter.

It definitely sounds like you need to get with an experienced personal injury lawyer to talk about the facts and circumstances of this case, especially since your vehicle was totaled and the other driver ignored the stop sign.

I was not extremely hurt. A few bruises, and a hospital check up. My car was fully totaled. I had a passenger, she was hurt a bit more, but not a significant amount.

After my accident, the towing company was called by the police officer who investigated the accident my insurance send over paper work needed for the company to get paid now the company will not send over the invoice to my insurance company and still have my car

From the looks of it, you may want to consider talking with a lawyer to discuss the accident, as well as the steps that you or he may need to take to make sure that the towing company provides the paperwork.

The short is answer is yes. Assuming that you were injured while working, you should be entitled to workers' compensation, unless your employer fits within one of the exceptions. Regardless, from the looks of it, you have a combination workers' compensation claim and a personal injury... View More

You should consider speaking with an experienced personal injury lawyer about this matter. Just because you hit the vehicle from behind, does not necessarily mean that you are at fault. For example, if you turned a corner during the night (or even day) and the commercial vehicle was parked in a... View More
The Belongings are inside the car. The bill is 700 and I have important paperwork in the car and work equipment and they won't let me get it out until the bill is paid. Is this legal in Mississippi?

While they can technically keep you from getting the vehicle itself, they should still allow you to gain access to the vehicle so that you can get your belongings. Of course, if there is a pending bill, assuming that you have an attorney, either your insurance company or the other party's... View More

It really depends on the circumstances; however, when it comes to the consideration of total property loss, the insurance company still has an obligation to keep their insured (you) in the loop. Assuming that they did not and that you have a lawyer representing you on any type of personal injury... View More

Yes, it is legal for them to have the vehicle towed if there is a suspicion of a DUI. It is a little tricky to seek reimbursement from them as a governmental entity, and would require you to challenge the DUI charge and beat the charge first. That being said, your insurance company may also... View More
