Yes, A car making a turn is required to yield to oncoming traffic. So if you were traveling straight then the other driver is at fault.

You need to report this to YOUR insurance company. They will follow-up on your claim against the other carrier. They will also pay your bills and sue the other carrier.

What reason did they give for denying your claim? Doesn't seem they have any grounds.

Hello w:

Hop, skip and jump on down to your nearest lawyers office. He WON'T charge you unless he WINS, and he can get a LOT more than you can yourself.

can i sue her personely in cival court?

Do you have insurance? If so, your insurance company would be the better one to handle a lawsuit -- there's no expense to you that way.

First, when posting a follow-up question or info, please use the Answer options at the bottom of the page rather than the Comments.

Yes you can sue her, but why bother? This is what you have insurance for. Your insurance company should take care of this for you. They should be paying your medical bills and getting reimbursed from her carrier.

You should be turning this into your insurance company who may pay the bills and sue the other company. But yes often the other company will refuse to pay to start with.

But remember, if they take two years to pay, you are liable to pay the hospital and doctor bills, I had one workers comp accident where the insurance company took 10 years to finally pay and settle with me. And that was in the court after getting court continued about 8 times.

So this could drag out for years, you need to be prepared for this
