For the ER bill? Probably. File a claim with the church's automobile insurer. There may be no-fault personal injury coverage, otherwise it appears that the driver was negligent. But don't look for a large payday; I don't see much in the way of damages (other than, as I say, the ER bill).

Yes but usually they will be consolidated or brought together to save judicial resources.

No. But studies have shown you probably get about 4-5 times more $ than without an attorney. The studies were done by guess who??? The insurance companies! They try to keep you from an attorney because they KNOW they will have to pay less if they pay you at all.

Yes. But in some circumstances if the claims are both filed in court they may be consolidated into one case to save on judicial resources.
