Legal Answer
Depends on many factors. If the car the person was driving was his/hers, then you need to determine if there was insurance. If there is insurance, then one must make a negligent claim--not intentional tort claim--against the driver. If it is a stolen car, you have a problem unless you have uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage (you can do that in both instances). You may also have a claim against the police agency if the chase was not within the guidelines.Go to www.ConsumerLawyerHelp.com for all your legal needs.
