Car accident. can i still drive ?

Question:
I was involved this morning in an accident with a trailer truck. Eventhough, it was a minor accident, and the only thing that broke from my car was the back cover of my left light. the lights still work, but there is nothing to cover it, like the glass it has to protect it. Can I still drive? Explain. Help????
