i got ranedoever should i sue the girl?

Question

i was crossing the street and she didnt make her stop her car just kind of pushed me but i got a cut in my face and on my arm and my arm and leg hurt .

Answer 1

There should have been an accident report made out. By now, the other parties insurance should have contacted you, and, a determination should have been made as to who was at fault.

Answer 2

If you were crossing the street properly, that is, at a crosswalk when the lights were green, you may be able to sue.
The thing is, if you were crossing when the lights were red or not at a crosswalk, it's your fault, period.

Also, if you weren't very seriously injured, you may have an even more difficult time actually convincing a judge you need money for the damage done.

The best example I can give is of a kid I knew. He ran across the street on a red light (but still at a crosswalk) and a taxi hit him and broke his arm. His parents attemped to sue the cab company, but they didn't win anything because it was the kid's fault.

It sucks that you got hurt by a driver, I've had it happen twice because of horrible drivers.. but all you can really do is be more careful next time.

Answer 3

Depending on your medical bills, you could sue, but, if they're minor, you should just let it go and learn a lesson about where to cross the street.. however, having said that and seeing what was said about crosswalks, in the state of Georgia, pedestrians, even jaywalkers, have the right of way.
And you really should do something about your spelling, punctuation, grammar and sentence structure..

Answer 4

Crosswalk? That makes all the difference. If you were in a crosswalk or had the lights in your favor then you can seek damages. You'll want to make sure that you're covered in case any future problems with your spine or other unknown injuries manifest themselves later. At the least you'll want your medical bills incurred by the incident covered.

Answer 5

Doesn't seem like you accumulated any medical bills or lost wages so I think your case would be weak. You could have but it doesn't sound like you did, call the police at the time to report the incident and she could have had a careless driving charge. If you were j-walking or crossing against a light it could actually work against you.

Just something to think about.

Answer 6

Hell yea, get paid! Sue the car manufacturer, the company that installed the asphalt and the girls parents, too. The city did not put a stop sign there, maybe some liability on their part. Were you looking at a stray dog while crossing the street? Think about suing the dog catcher, if so..................

Answer 7

Depends where you were crossing.

If you had the right of way, and she was supposed to stop, then you could sue. If you were crossing illegally she could sue you for damages to her car.

Answer 8

Boy isn't it amazing how so many people answered this question with rude answers due to a spelling error. It amazes me how mean people have become and so self righteous.
Yes you can sue if you have evidence that she did this. Pedestrians always have the right of way

Answer 9

While everyone else is right, that you can't spell, here's my serious advice to you:

Everyone is sue-happy, so much so that judges are sick of petty people trying to sue for stupid things. If you have medical problems directly related to the accident, you can usually get her insurance to reimburse you for the medical expenses. I would do this, but don't sue her. That's just petty and stupid. Be the bigger person.

Answer 10

You didn't get run over, you got kind of pushed, her insurance should take care of your bills.
