I Was A Passenger In The Car And Now I Have A $20,000 Bill

Card image cap

Location: Virginia USA. So i don't know if i'm doing this right But just like the title says. It was my friend's birthday. We were going on a little road trip to see a museum. The car in front of us suddenly swerved out of the way and then we realized the cars ahead had already crashed and there was no time to react. I scrunched like an idiot. My knees hit the dash I have a previous spinal injury so very dramatic. Had to be put in a brace. Stayed longer in the hospital than her for all the testing. I have to see a specialist cuz of the suspected torn meniscus. MRI is Wednesday this week

I told her to fight the citation in court because she was not at fault The car we hit was stalled on the highway, no Blinkers and they were already out of the car behind the barrier for their original car accident. At the time she said it's fine the citation was only $100. She would take the loss and her insurance would cover my medical bills. I am in between insurance right now because I just got a full-time job literally the week before this happened so I was like okay. I trust you

Got the bill for so far. It's $20,000 called her insurance they're like. Yeah we're only paying out $5,000 and I don't have the power to fight anybody because she was deemed at fault for the accident and she already paid the citation for it do I have any recourse?
