Third Party Negligence Center
An accident victim can pursue tort liability for certain types of damages and under certain circumstances. These third party damages are for non-economic damages that arise out of the use of a motor vehicle unless you, as the injured victim, suffered a threshold injury, which is either death, a serious impairment of body function or permanent serious disfigurement.
In order to recover, another driver must be more than 50% at fault of the accident, or you are a passenger in a motor vehicle; you must suffer a "serious impairment of a body function, or a serious and permanent disfigurement or death"; a physician must indicate that the accident was more likely than not, the cause of your injuries; you must not have intentionally caused the accident; and you must not be the driver/owner of an uninsured automobile.
