Do you have UM coverage with your insurance company? If so, you can file a claim with them. Best bet is to consult with a local experienced personal injury attorney ASAP.

Hit and run cases can be difficult. I would suggest speaking to a reputable personal injury attorney who can investigate the wreck in addition to the police investigation and see if they can turn up any leads. Additionally, you may have some applicable UM/UIM that would compensate you. There is also the possibility of going after the gas station if the facts support such a claim. Good Luck.

Nothing you said would make the store responsible for what some guy did in the parking lot. If you have auto insurance, you can use your uninsured motorist coverage.

There needs to be some basis for holding the convenience store responsible beyond just being the owner of the property. From what you've posted, the driver of the vehicle ran you over. If there isn't anything more, then I don't see the basis for going after the store. Still, you should consult with a personal injury attorney to assist you who can investigate and give you guidance as to what remedies you may have. Personal injury attorneys typically handle cases on a contingency fee basis and give free consultations. Use the Find a Lawyer tab on to find one in your area. Best of luck to you...

You may need to sue the driver. Your UM insurer need not believe the driver has no insurance. You can make a PIP or MedPay if you have the coverage. A liability claim against Raceway would be difficult but not impossible. I would not take the case against Raceway on a contingency fee based on the facts you provided, but other lawyers might. Raceway might have MedPay coverage (Medical Payments coverage). That would be a no-fault claim for medical bills (up to their limits).

To sue someone for damages - there has to be some form of negligence. We need a lot more information to see if anyone (like the store) would be liable for damages. Most likely they wouldn't be from what you described. There could be other forms of recovery for you like uninsured motorist coverage on your own car (even if you were walking outside the car).

It may be difficult to pursue a claim against the store. You would need to prove some negligence on their part. In what you have here I don't see any, they weren't driving the truck; however, that doesn't mean they did not have any negligence. Perhaps they could have failed to keep the lights working at the location, but if it was dark the driver should have had his lights on, so they may not have much in the way of negligence. You will need to obtain a consultation with a Personal Injury Attorney in your local area who can ask all of the relevant questions and then help to determine whether you have a claim or case against the owner of the location.

Unless the store owned the vehicle in question and/or it was driven by an employee in the course and scope of employment, it is highly unlikely that the store would have liability for the incident. You c an file a lawsuit against the uninsured motorist for your damages or you can file a claim with your automobile insurance carrier for Uninsured Motorist Coverage.

I would think it would be very expensive and unlikely to have a successful claim against the store, particularly when you have identified the uninsured driver. You have a good claim against the uninsured driver and also a potential uninsured motorist claim against your own automobile liability insurance carrier. You should obtain needed medical care and treatment immediately and follow the doctor's advice. Do not give any statement to the adverse party or insurance company nor grant them access to any medical records. Photograph the injuries and the damage done to any property. Contact a personal injury attorney in your area as soon as possible so that you can protect your rights.
