Possibly. Michigan is a 'First party, no Fault' state, where YOUR insurance is supposed to cover you in the event of an accident where you are at fault. The fact that YOU don't have insurance could severely restrict any claim against another. I would strongly suggest you contact a local attorney to see what options, if any, you may have.

*** If you are trying to find out the law in Texas, start your own thread. Do not try to hijack this persons thread (in Michigan) to divert it to your concerns in Texas. That is both rude and disrespectful.
