Question

I am sole bread winner in a senior role at an investment bank and have had to undergo severe surgery due to the damage. I want to sue zip car for allowing a driver without a liscnece to drive a vehicle.

Answer

Mr. Rothstein is correct, the Graves Amendment protects car rental companies from liability for injuries caused by drivers of the vehicles they rent out. (That's the power of lobbying for you - and the rental companies get to sell renters insurance as an option!). There are other potential sources of compensation, so your inquiry shouldn't stop there. Instead of being your own lawyer, your best bet is to speak to a personal injury lawyer asap. The consultion is typically free of charge.
