Card image cap

I was traveling through a green light. It as a 4 way so his light was red. I was t boned and knocked out for a few seconds. I was very confused and my gf called 911. When they arrived the driver was gone and his 18 year old son stayed and the drivers wife. They spoke English to me but after the police arrived they must how forgotten how. The 18 year old stated I ran a red light and caused the accident. I was arrested for under the influence felony DUI due to water eyes and being visibly confused. I spent 6 days in jail, lost my job and had my house broken into while in the hospital stole a safe and my Frinchie was also stolen. My life was ruined by bad policing. The driver lived in Mexico and the truck was registered to texas. His son and wife live here. I'm in california. I also suffered a TBI and my life has been ruined.

Can I pursue legal charges for his family here in the states.

Location: California

Edit: I was cleared of all charges as I was not under the influence but took about 10 months of court and trail plus lawyer fees.
