Can I sue for personal injury if my injuries are major?

It is not whether the injuries are major that determines whether or not you can sue. You can sue only if the injuries were caused by the negligence of another person. If negligence occurred , you can sue even if the injuries were minor, although your recovery in damages would be as minor as your injuries. If this is an auto accident matter, some states have laws that state that you cannot sue unless you do have major injuries even if there were no negligence. Check the laws of the state the accident occurred in to get proper information.


Can an unlicensed driver sue other party for damages in an auto accident?

Unless you sue in a contributory negligence state (meaning if the plaintiff was in any way at fault they are not entitled to relief), an unlicensed driver may sue the other party for negligence. Depending again on the state you are suing in and if they are a pure comparative negligence (ny) or modified comparative negligence (nj) your relief will possibly be reduced by your amount of fault. If in a modified comparative negligence state, if you are more than 50% at fault you are barred from recovery.
