A Louisiana attorney could advise best, but your post remains open for a week. Until you are able to consult with a local attorney, the City of Shreveport's line of reasoning holds true in many jurisdictions.

A Louisiana attorney could advise best, but your question remains open for two weeks. It's possible you could have a case; for a more definitive answer, one would need more details.

I hydroplaned off the road and hit a concrete culvert at 45-50 mph. Single car crash, no other person was involved.
I'm sorry your post remains open for five weeks. At this point, you could contact a Louisiana attorney to see if they would offer a free initial consult to look into the matter.

Car was paid for he got blue book value.But my hand I had to get screws put in my hand

DMV suspended you for either DWI or negligent injury. Contact your traffic court attorney.
The car was in a single car accident. The mechanic advised we file an insurance claim so they can pay for most of it. We did. He said he fixed the car and we paid the deductible and left. After leaving the car broke down again not far from his shop. Brought it back and he said that the car is now... Read more »
No one can really say with any degree of certainty which way something like this would go.

The person who hit my car gave fake information to the officers and had no insurance. They have no license either.
That's what your UM insurance is for, unless it was a minor or using an insured driver's vehicle.
Unless you had your turn signal on as you tried to back into your driveway, yes, you are at fault and your insurance company may be sued.
