If just a dent in your tire what do you care? What are you after? What do you expect to get? I don't understand the question.

You should have uninsured coverage that will pay the damage. In SC uninsured coverage is mandatory. You can sue the uninsured driver personally, but it would be hard to collect and probably a waste of time.

No attorney will take case so only chance is small claims court but you will likely waste a lot of time and money and never collect.

You should first check to see if you have "Uninsured Motorist" insurance coverage as part of your own insurance policy. That should cover your damages since its usually part of your policy. If you don't have it, then you can still sue the other driver personally. Good luck.

You can always sue them, however, that will not do you much good unless the person has the ability to pay off the judgment you receive against them in court. If you have your own auto insurance, you are better to pursue compensation that way whenever possible.

Hopefully you have Uninsured motorist coverage under your auto insurance of a member of a household that has uninsured motorist coverage.
