This is a law unique to California and denies the driver to collect damages if he is unisured. Even pain and suffering cannot be collected. This typically does not apply to the passenger but there are always exceptions based on other case law. The driver can however still collect for medical bills.

Number one priority is preserving the evidence. The vehicle or its parts will be an integral part of your auto defect lawsuit and the attorneys will need access to the vehicle so that experts can research the evidence and prove the failure.

In a scenario like this where local police and the FBI think it was deliberately done, this would fall under a criminal investigation. Depending on the driver's personal assets the family could go after him for their injuries, however it's likely that he doesnt have enough to cover damages for all 8 people. His insurance on the vehicle, if insured would also be a small percertage to each of the injured unless he had a very large policy limit. Most people carry about 25-50K in coverage.

You should notify your insurance right away if the other party is uninsured. If both parties are insured, advise your insurance company of the other party's coverage and the name of their insurance. Don't be fooled however, into thinking your own insurance company isn't looking to pay out less and cut corners. If you feel the amount being offered for your injuries and damages isn't fair, call a personal injury attorney with car accident experience.

No. Many personal injury law firms will not take on 'dog on dog attacks' because it's hard to prove the perceived value of the animal and also which dog was responsible.

First and foremost be safe. We have seen cases where our client was seriously injured further by stepping out of their vehicle in an unsafe situation and was hit by a passing vehicle. Always pull off before exiting the vehicle. It is also required by law that you assist anyone injured in the car accident and if you were involved you must remain at the scene. Call the police. You need to file a police report and if you are injured and cannot call have someone do it for you. The police report will be a major part of your claim later on and will contain details that can support your case as the plaintiff. Do not admit fault. Anything you say after the car accident can be used against you. Of course, you should always be truthful but there is no need to admit fault because circumstances may prove otherwise. Especially if it's a complicated accident. Get the other driver's information. Having the other driver's information is critical to your case. Take photos of the accident scene.
