More details to this question:
I was involved in a car accident around 2:45AM and was taken to the hospital. I had surgery done in my collarbone and my right arm is fractured. I was hit head on and the other driver in the car was only 17 years of age? I was by myself in the car and I was given a citation for failure to yield. I was doing 15 mph. Can I sue for personal injury in FL

Hello Brianni,
Very sorry to hear of yoru serious accident. I hope that you are improving.
Speak with a Personal Injury attorney a.s.a.p. regarding a potential case against the drive and ownerr of the vehicle and possible UM/UIM if such coverage is available to you. Choose an experienced professional to guide and advise you and evaluate your claim.
A Personal Injury attorney can investigate this matter and determine all possible responsible parties and insurance coverages including any available 1st party coverage rather than pursuing this on your own.
However, if you are interested in consulting with one of us, you will have to reach out, as attorneys are unable to directly solicit on this forum.

The police citation you received is not dispositive as to your fault in a potential civil case. Florida is a comparative fault state which means the parties share joint fault depending on their proportionate negligence. Discuss with counsel here in Florida about contingency fee representation which means you don't pay anything unless you win.
