I am looking for advice or suggestions on what actions I can take on another driver. I was involved in a two car accident on Monday (11/13/00). The accident occurred in Pasadena, TX. My car and the other vehicle were both totalled. The accident was the other driver's fault. He was cited for running a red light and also no liability insurance. There was a witness to the accident. I was taken to the hospital ER by ambulance and treated and released. Luckily I only suffered contusions and abrasions to my knees, arms and shoulders and no broken bones. I did not get a chance to exchange information with the other driver at the time but I got a copy of the accident report and found out who he was and that he did not have liability insurance. He gave the officer no phone # to be reached at. I went to the court house and got a copy af the title registration and found out that both the driver (19 y.o.) and his father were both listed as the owner's of vehicle. An auto dealer was also listed as the first lien holder. I called the auto dealer and he said the driver had bought the vehicle approx. 6 months ago but had stopped making payments on it about 2 months ago. The auto dealer also said that he had received a notice a few months after he had sold the car that the insurance was calcelled. He was fixing to repossess the car. I have been unable to locate the driver so far. Do I have a case against the driver or father (or both) or event the car dealer (since he still had a lien) and what are my chances of collecting anything?
