seems to be able to help me.what now? My car was totalled by an unisured driver, and I was injured. I was required to pay a $200 tow bill that night to tow the pieces of my car, and then I had to go to the emergency room for my injuries. I now have no car, a tow bill (which i couldn't afford), and medical bills....I need a car to go back to work, when I can....and I am a single mother...I need that money I spent on the tow to pay my rent..I dont have a penny to spare. I've been stuck at home with absolutely no help at all. We have few groceries in the house, and no money for food, either. I am going to lose my job and my home. My insurance can't help because I couldn't afford uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage....I can't afford another car, or my mounting medical bills. His insurance told me his policy had been cancelled and that I should contact the police. The police laughed and told me it was a civil matter, and they had no idea why I was calling them. I called an attorney, who told me that I could indeed take them to court, but I would have to pay the attorney fees upfront because if the person wasn't responsible enough to have insurance, they likely weren't responsible enough to pay me. "You can't get blood from a stone," he said to me. I obviously can't pay those fees....and even if the man did pay, which is unlikely, because he is unemployed, it could take years to get a penny. I was told to file a report with the BMV....but all they can do is suspend his license, and it already was suspended, AND that doesn't help me any...What can I do? Is there any help for me? or am I doomed to be homeless, jobless, and starving, and perhaps lose custody of my son...? PLEASE HELP ME
