Remember that the laws in Iowa, Nebraska, Missouri, Kansas, Minnesota, Wisconsin, North and South Dakota and surrounding areas are different. You should consult with a auto / car / motor vehicle accident or injury lawyer who is familiar with the laws of the State in which you were injured and has experience taking on large insurance companies in the pursuit of compensation for victims of personal injury accidents.

QUESTION: Who can I sue for compensation for my injuries?

ANSWER: In some cases, a person who was injured in an accident may be able to sue other people than just the responsible driver. For example, if the responsible driver did not own the car he or she was driving, you may be able to sue the car’s owner. If the responsible driver was drunk, you may be able to sue the person who served him or her alcohol, if that person served the driver even though he or she was obviously drunk. In other cases, you might be able to sue a person who wasn’t involved in the accident, such as an automobile manufacturing company or a construction company, if there was a defect in the vehicle or the road that caused the accident. If the accident involved a semi-truck and the driver violated rules and regulations, you may be able to sue their employer.
