Question

I was rear ended pretty hard recently at a stop light and I don't have medical insurance or I wasn't covered in the cars insurance, but the driver at fault doesn't have any type of insurance. I want to file a claim for my medical expenses cause of the accident my right elbow and wrist have been in pain so far 300$ have been billed to me for medications possibly more cause of therapy I might have to attend and I've been paranoid to drive or get in a car and have also missed work for a couple weeks now. How can I file a lawsuit to have the driver at fault pay for my expenses. I want to do this without a lawyer. What paper do I need to get and what are the steps to take?
Thanks. South CALIFORNIA US CITIZEN

That's small claims court and you can file for about $50.  You need police report and can fill out forms at courthouse.   Make sure you dint have PIP policy on your insurance.  Ask agent.

You should start with your own insurance company to see what reimbursement might be available.  After that, it would seem to be a small claims action.  There is a lot of information about that here:
