PERSONAL INJURY—NOT A US CITIZEN?

An individual gets injured in a car accident that was not their fault. The individual is not a US citizen. Can the individual still bring forward a personal injury case against the at fault driver even though they are not a US citizen?

Even though you are not a US citizen, you still have the right to pursue a personal injury lawsuit if you have suffered economic and non-economic damages. A non-citizen’s access to court is not affected by their citizenship status.

It is always important for you to talk to an attorney “before” making any legal decision.
