More details to this question:
I was rear-ended when I was stopped at a traffic light, but driver does not have insurance, and the registration reflects his mother has the owner of the vehicle that struck me. My insurance is covering medical and vehicle repair (over $4,000). My wife (Pregnant) was transported by an ambulance to Palmetto Hospital. My wife and I are under therapy. What should I do?

Check to see if you have uninsured motorist insurance on any car owned by anyone in your household (a resident relative). If so, you can make a claim through your own insurance company under the uninsured motorist coverage.

Hire a personal injury attorney. If the owner of the vehicle has insurance then you will have a claim against her insurance. If you have uninsured motorist insurance (UM) policy on your ca then you can pursue a claim against your own insurance.

Sorry to hear of your situation. Assuming you have uninsured motorist coverage on your own auto policy, then you and your wife can make a claim against your own policy.
