can i get compensation if i only have liability in a single car accident?

Eileen, sorry to hear what happened to you.  Althogh it's possible to bring a case against the owner of the roadway on a negligent design theory (e.g., that poor design caused the road to become icy on a frequent and recurring basis, etc.), such cases are extremely difficult to win and usually only make sense brining when there have been catastrophic injuries given their time and expense.  You can, however, file a claim for no-fault inusrance benefits with your insurance company so that your medical bills get paid, your lost wages reimbursed, etc.  Keep in mind that an application for no-fault benefits needs to be filed within 30 days of the incident.   Best regards,   Jonathan R.
