Got hit by a car, can I sue?

[orangeman114]

State, New Jersey. I was walking across a cross walk in front of target while it was rainy and dark vehicle was taking a left and did not see me cause the car to hit me and I fell on the ground. I sustained minor injuries and took a picture of the car’s license plate and told the driver I was okay because I was in a rush. Do I have enough information to sue? I did not get his driver’s license. Thanks.

Why do you want to sue?

Did you incur any medical bills as a result of this? Any other financial damages?

I am feeling very sore, thinking about going to the hospital

Just want to know if I have enough evidence information to sue, if I do occur medical expenses.

 

[HighwayMan]

You have no evidence. How long ago did this happen?

 

[orangeman114]

two days ago

No, you do not have enough to sue. Even if you went to the hospital right now, you've had two days in which to incur injuries some other way. You would never in a million years be able to connect the injuries to the car at this point. The best you'd get would be your hospital bill paid, and IMO you'd be lucky to get that. If you'd gone to the hospital immediately, that would have been another story. Now - uh-uh.

Well hopefully you're not "in a rush" now.

You need to go file a police report as soon as possible.

It wouldn't have taken long to get a picture of the person's license and insurance card. Do you even remember what the driver looked like?
