You can sue them, the question is, will you win? First of all, your insurance company may be willing to take the lead on this. It's called "subrogation". They sue the responsible party to try and get a judgment for the money they paid out to you on the insurance claim plus your... View More

USC is not a State law. "USC" stands for United States Code, which is Federal law. I cannot tell which US Code section you are referring to because you did not include the first section (--UCS----). However, there is no law, State or Federal, that requires a down payment to puchase a... View More
