I want to file in the Small Claims Court of MA. Who do I sue? Him the driver? His company (T-mobile), or the insurance company T-mobile or him uses and denied my claim (that I want to dispute via the court system)? Thank you.

If you were hurt, contact a member of the Mass Academy of Trial Lawyers--they give free consults. If not, you sue the registered owner of the vehicle--note the name--it may be T mobile of new England, or something else. Or just sue the driver.

I got the civil infraction in the mail. How did I get a civil infraction if there was no cop to see that I did that
