What is the name of your state? RI
I was travelling the speed limit(40mph) down a road when the car in front of me slowed down, but didn't stop. All of a sudden she slammed on her brakes and I did too, but my car didn't stop and rear ended her and she hit the car in front of her. My car was completely totaled, and hers looked pretty bad, the other car barely had a dent. There was a guy in the car with her who complained about neck pain, and was transported to the hospital. His neck only hurt after finding out that the girl only had her permit. (she was 18. he was 44. also there was a 6 year old in the car) My question is, can the guy sue me because he was "hurt" and I found out later that the girl was driving with an expired permit and no insurance, and I'm also pretty sure there is a law about driving with children in your car and without a licensed driver over the age of 21. Is this going to affect the outcome of the accident in any way or is this a whole separate issue? Oh and another thing, the police report stated that the vehicle was grey, but it was actually gold and grey was the color that came up when he ran the plates...any input on this either?
