Appellate Practice Attorney serving New York, NY
I don't think you have a case because you suffered no damages. A car blows a red light and hits your car, damaging it and also causing you a broken arm. You have an excellent negligence claim. If in the same circumstances the car just misses you, scaring you to death, you have no damages, and no civil case (the district attorney could theoretically bring a criminal case for reckless driving or the like).
