"I swear officer......I turned the steering wheel left but it was like the car took on a life of its own and went right! It didn't matter how hard I struggled......it wouldn't give. I smacked the horn.....trying to knock some sense into this vehicle of mine....but noooooo. It kept on veering right as if it wanted me to cause an accident.........as if it itself wanted to end its own life and go to that great car junkyard in the sky. So no officer.....I do not deserve a ticket for wreckless driving. You need to charge my car with wreckless endangerment.......in fact.......if you don't, I'm planning on sueing him myself. Uhm.......do you think this will stand up in court? Or am I just spinning my wheels??"

If they dident have insurance or their insurance refused to pay you could sue them. Now criminal charges are normaly left up to the police, and i've been in an accident where it was clearly the outher drivers fault and refused to give her a ticket for running a stop sign, or failing to yeld to the right of way. He said they only issued tickets if the car was flipped over or someone was hurt, gee i wonder why it takes that maybe because if you dident issue a ticket then you wouldent have a job much longer.

it depends on the jurisdiction and if the car "died" in the wreck. Obviously, if I were an attorney, and the car had died, assuming, of course, that the juridisdiction you live in recognizes cars as "individuals with rights under the law"; I'd advise you to file for a lien against the car's estate. If the car had no life insurance, I'd advise you to go, instead for the driver of that car.

If something was proven that there was a mechanical problem with the car that caused the accident, I'm sure you could go after the car company/dealer.

what a silly question, the only way for this to happen if the car in which you were driving or someone else had a faulty device that caused the accident, and you was completely unaware of the problem before you drove it. but other than that, no!

You could probably file charges against the person DRIVING the car. But only if he was flagrantly at fault, or maybe if he had no insurance, or if they weren't helping.

Yes, I was in a car accident. The person tried to run but they were caught and arrested.

Lol no would you bring charges against a gun company if you accidently shot yourself? I think not. Life is a risk honey and when you get in that car it is a risk.

If there is something wrong with your car that caused the accident, maybe. If its against the other vehicle, no, unless its premeditated.

It's possible if the car is proven to be defective and the manufacturer knew about it....most of them already know.
