I understand your feeling, SNOWFED_RIVER. If the driver is reimbursing your medical bills, and the expense for the irrepairable losses, then what r u sueing him for? Do you want him to go to jail? Do you want him to pay more? What do you want the court to do that will satisfy you? If you r thinking of money, then certainly with the help of a lawyer, u can get few hundreds to thousand more. This money will be paid by his insurance company so the driver will not even know. If you want him to see him in jail then I dont think that will happen just because u decided to drag him to court. Of course, if he was driving without license or if it is a case of DUI then the story changes. Even then, u dont have to sue; police will prosecute as per the law.............
