Personal injury lawyers work on a contingency, nobody's going out of pocket to sue another driver for rear ending them. Everyone is legally obligated to have insurance, this woman has insurance almost definitely. It is a stone cold lock that if the driver in front sues, not only will he / she / xir never go out of pocket one single cent, they will get paid whatever this moron lady's policy limit is, which in most states is minimum $50,000 for personal injury. Her insurer will not defend this case, it is without question entirely her fault and the result of indisputably gross negligence. If her insurer doesn't drop her entirely, they will certainly raise her rates through the roof. She is also almost certainly getting a reckless driving ticket, which carries a loss of license and fairly large fines, points on her license if her state has a point system. She's fucked.
If that had happened in California, that would be an easy win, injury or not. Remember, these things happen in civil court, where logic and law get tossed out the window in favor of he said/she said bullshit. In the sate where this actually occurred, I have no idea. The mere claim of back and neck injuries can often be enough to achieve a settlement.
Says who? They'd have to take me away from there on a backboard in an ambulance. No insurance company is going to pay lawyers to defend this crap when there's a video of their insured flipping double birds, hanging out her window, moving forward without looking, and screaming profanity like a loon.
You are correct, but, I looked it up and found this:
"No, all states do not require car insurance, but all require financial responsibility to operate a vehicle on the roadway.
Every state requires that you meet financial responsibility requirements through insurance, a bond or some other approved means that show you are able to pay if you cause damages to another person or property in an automobile accident."
I'd provide the link but it's a site that gives insurance quotes, so idk.

There's not enough impact there to cause injury. Was there even a paint transfer?

Pro tip if you open the car door and tuck and roll out begging for an ambulance you get about $7k min.
I lived in a black community and learned things

Sounds like she should have just torched a cop car. She would have gotten off easier.
I don't think all states require auto insurance, at least not good insurance.
