More details to this question:
It was my mom's truck that the big rig hit. She settled already with them but I had my two young children and my husband with me in the car as well. We didn't receive any type of compensation for the drivers negligence. It happened I believe the last week of June. We were stopped on the side of the freeway when the big rig hit us. We had no insurance on my mom's truck. Is there something I can do even though my mom settled already and that it has been like a month and some weeks since its happened? Or should I just not waste my time because it's not worth it?

Did you and your family file a claim with the other driver's insurance company?

Your mother's settlement does not affect your right to make a claim for yourself or your children. You should be aware that all cases have a statute of limitations ie: the length of time between an accident and the time you have to file a claim with the Courts. You have not provided enough information to ascertain what the time period but be careful and seek advice of counsel ASAP.
