If you can find someone to take on the case, and if you are willing to pay for the representation up front, along with case costs, to include filing fee, service fee, possible deposition fees, transcripts of any depositions, copies, etc., then yes.

The insurance ticket will also be expensive, as the simply fact is you did not have insurance at the time the ticket was written. The court does not have to approve any deal on that issue, and once it gets turned in to DPS, then that's a new suspension on the DL that remains until one pays for insurances, shows proof of it and pays for reinstatement....

Insurance adjusters base the reasonableness of treatment in part on the severity of the accident. Simply stated, a tap of a bumper is not likely to result in as much injury and treatment for said injury as when one is at a stop light and is rear ended by someone traveling 35 and doesn't see the first driver due to sun, texting or other distraction. That is not to say an injury can not occur at far lower speed, only that the level of treatment would be anticipated to be different. Pain and suffering is also tied to the level of injury, as one might expect. If you are dealing with an insurance adjuster on your own, understand you a bit like an injured duck near a dry pond when two foxes come along and suggest the three of you vote on what's a good dinner plan. One critter, one vote sounds all fair and noble like, but to date, no duck has ever won that election.... Read More

Then when she skips out, or files bankruptcy on the matter, or claims you threatened her virtue or physical well being if she did not sign, the paper you rely upon will be all that much prettier once you hire counsel to assist you, if there ramains a reason to assist you that is. Given the low amount, take the person to small claims court and have an enforceable judgment entered. However, recognize that it too can end up being rendered meaningless via a bankruptcy action....
