What is the name of your state? The Golden State
My sister-in-law was rear-ended about a month back. At-fault driver's insurance company already settled the vehicle damages portion of her claim.
She has been in a fair amount of pain since the accident. Typical whiplash / soft-tissue damage it would seem, only question is the degree of injury.
Sister-in-law was unlicensed when she was hit.
Sister-in-law was receiving state disability when she was hit.
Questions:
1) is she disbarred from putting forth a P&S claim? I've heard California bars claims for general damages made by accident victims who are not licensed. Is this true?
2) if the above is true, under what statute and has the statute survived challenge?
3) are potential future-medical damages and potential loss of income claims either lost or reduced by her status as a disability recipient?
I know that's asking a lot, so thanks if you decide to wade in.
