I lose my trk to the towing co. I had basic coverage and shared no responsibility in the crash. I hurt my hip.
If the other vehicle is one with 4 wheels, it is not possible for it to have auto insurance that excluded PIP - but in any event, that driver's PIP coverage, if any, would be for the purpose of covering THAT driver's medical bills. It is the LIABLITY coverage of that driver's policy... Read more »
A Mississippi attorney could advise best, but your post remains open for four weeks. The things you could do are probably things you've already thought of... posting signs requesting that drivers slow down, particularly if children play in the area. It's unlikely, but you could ask your... Read more »
A couple of weeks ago I rolled into an intersection and got t boned. It was not my car and I'm not in the insurance. The insurance company contacted the provider and is threatening to sue for this. (This is what I gathered over the phone call I just had with them) this is the first car... Read more »
From the way you phrase the question, it sounds like you believe you caused the collision. You may want to go over the details with an attorney, just in case.
If you were driving someone else's vehicle:
Did you have permission to use the vehicle you were driving?

She pulled out in front of someone. Neither had injuries. Both cars totaled. What consequences do I face myself?
1) you will owe the other person for at least their car; if their insurance pays for it you owe their insurance
2) Both of you could be ticketed, possible license suspension in some states.
You need to contact an attorney who handles traffic violations in the county where it happened.
I have a police report, my insurance is going to contact her insurance, If She doesn’t have coverage, what can I do to make her pay?
Please see my answer to the last question. Assuming she has no coverage, mention that to the police. They will cite her, and that may, miraculously, cause her to produce the "oh, I forgot about this...is this what you mean?" policy she didn't want to involve in her misadventure.... Read more »
My Insurance is going to contact her insurance, but they told me that they have to find if She has coverage. I’m using my insurance, but I have a deductible of $500, can I make her pay everything that I spent? The police report shows that is her fault, what can I do if She doesn’t have coverage?
Q: "can I make her pay everything that I spent"
A: Depends whether what you spend is legally recoverable. You definitely would be entitled to your deductible. In almost all instances, you are entitled to towing from accident scene to your house and/or repair shop. You are... Read more »
I was driving at around 40 mph to my girlfriend's house on a gravel road, and we came up a hill and there was a long row of gravel piled up in the middle of the road. This is a major arterial road, and there were no warning signs, so as a result, it destroyed my scrape guard underneath my car,... Read more »
A Nebraska attorney could advise best, but your post remains open for two weeks. In many places, it could depend on the road and the amount of traffic it gets. Good practices would have involved cordoning off the gravel and putting up signs, just as you mention, so that it wouldn't be a hazard... Read more »
Was not speeding, was not my fault. Rainy day couldn't stop fast enough. Everyone in my car was injured. Neck, back, leg and stomach.
Multiple vehicle accidents are more likely to have issues with coverage, conflicts of interest, and liability. It would be strongly advisable to retain experienced counsel.
Was not speeding, was not my fault. Rainy day couldn't stop fast enough. Everyone in my car was injured. Neck, back, leg and stomach.
The law says you need to drive at a speed that will allow you to stop if something happens ahead. You indicate you may have not been able to stop. That raises issues. You should not make any more statements, not discuss this online. The insurance on the car you were in may give you an attorney. If... Read more »

Yes, if she was unlicensed you can possibly be responsible for "negligently entrusting" your vehicle to an unlicensed driver.
I totaled my car and when the tow truck came to get it, the driver told me that he would tow it free of charge in exchange for the vehicle. I agreed to that, but now I have a bill in the mail along with a release of interest form from the towing company. Does signing the release of interest form... Read more »
An Idaho attorney could advise best, but your post remains open for two weeks.

I work for a self driving car company in the Bay Area and I got into an accident today where I was parking the company car during my shift and I accidentally backed up into a parked car.

Remember that insurance follows the car.....so the insurance for the car you were driving in, should control.

if you had an accident as a minor and without insurance, I would expect DMV to suspend your license if you had one for a year or hold off issuing one to you for a year.
i would assume the insurance co's will deal with this......i you were a minor and not insured i would expect them to... Read more »
Should I have waited for a trial? The defendant only had $100,000 coverage with no property. I was told if I went over policy limits she may file for bankruptcy. My medical bills was paid through Medicare with came to me for $17000 due to them.
A Tennessee attorney could advise best, but your post remains open for three weeks. If you signed the release and accepted the settlement, there's no point punishing yourself.

As soon as the injured party (or anyone for that matter) has legal questions, one should consult with an attorney. In this instance, the injured party should consult with an accident/injury lawyer as soon as possible so that he/she can be made aware of his options and what is to be expected from... Read more »
The answer would depend on the reason why you are leaving your door open.
Presumably, the nature and extent of your damages (injuries) remain contested. Therefore, at a minimum, counsel for the defendant will want to ask questions about your medical care, treatment, diagnosis, prognosis. Also, some details of how the incident occurred, and resulting vehicle damage,... Read more »
