If I win how do I get my money?

I sued a lady a few years back for hitting my car and not having insurance. I want to get my money this time. How do I make sure I get it?

So you have a judgment against her? In what court? If you have a judgment, you need to go to the court and see what your enforcement procedures are, how long your judgment is good for, etc. Depending on if you have a judgment, you typically can garnish wages, levy bank accounts, that kind of thing, of course depending on what your state allows and where the defendant/debtor lives. If she moved out of the state the judgment was awarded in, then you have another thing on your hands. To do a wage/bank garn's or any court order enforcement procedure to get paid, you will need to know where she is living, where she is working, where she banks.

All this is contingent if you have a valid judgment awarded to you and depends on your state laws.
