My question involves an injury that occurred in the state of: CA
Hello, I'm unsure of where to post this question but please direct me to the right forum.

1. I met with an auto accident on April 6th, causing my right arm fracture. I was turning left cautiously but an oncoming pickup truck hit my car causing car to be totaled, and fracture. The guy driving the truck does not carry a drivers license or insurance. Police report was filed. My insurance has since paid for loss of car but do I have a legal recourse to go after the pickup driver for accident ?

2. Accident happened while I was returning from work. So,I applied for short term disability. Now, the company that I was working for has downsized and laid off a team of 12 members on April 25th. Can I still get short term disability as I'm not employed with them anymore ?

3. The company advised me to apply for unemployment. The market is tough and not many jobs are available in my area of expertise.
Scenario 1: What if I do not get employed sooner ?
Scenario 2: I can manage expenses from my spouses' income. What if I do not intent to return to workforce ? How do I notify to stop payments for unemployment ?

Please clarify. Thanks.
