Generally the store is not liable for personal injury caused in car accidents on their property, unless something on their property caused the accident itself. In this situation you need to sue the owner of the car that course your personal injury, unless you can figure out a way that would make the store liable for your personal injury. Simply because the accident happened on their property, doesn't make them liable simply because the driver of the car didn't have insurance.
I have responded to your inquiry according to the laws of Massachusetts, where I practice. Laws can vary significantly from state to state and cases tend to be rather fact-specific, so you are best served by consulting with a knowledgeable attorney in weighing your options.
