Can you claim bodily injury from your insurance for a car accident in which you were found at fault?
If you had medical coverage, you can.You cannot claim bodily injury against your own policy for yourself because you cannot be liable to yourself. Bodily injury coverage falls under the liability portion of your policy, for injury to others caused by you or the driver of your vehicle. You must carry PIP or MEDPAY for your own injuries.In the UK - the law is based on fault. Namely the driver at fault pays for the injury and vehicle damage to the innocent road user. Motor insurance is compulsory as this pays the liability of the driver at fault. So you cannot claim for bodily injury from your own insurance as you would be claiming against yourself - but if your motor policy was comprehensive you can claim from your own insurer for vehicle damage - subject to an excess. See the related link entitled "car driver injury claims" for a full explanation as to when a car driver can claim and when a car driver is considered liable.

What are your rights if you are hit by a drunk driver while sitting at a stop light?
The same thing that anyone would be entitled to if hit by a sober driver: repair or total loss settlement of the vehicle; possible medical coverage if your state doesn't require you to have your own auto medical coverage; and possibly a bodily injury claim if the person sitting at the light was injured. The "drunk driver" part could come into play if, say, the bodily injury portion of the claim went to trial. A sympathetic jury or judge might say the drunk driver's condition at the time of the loss would increase the value of a bodily injury claim. Still, the drunk driver's insurance carrier would only pay the value of the bodily injury claim, which doesn't include punitive damages found against the drunk driver.

Fines are the responsibility of the one who receive them and fall under the jurisdiction of the police and motor vehicle laws.
