Only a local attorney could advise on this. If that is not the case, no need for urgency. But if that IS... View More

You could file a civil lawsuit against him instead of pursuing a criminal case. But if you choose to do so, expect the defense to note that you did not pursue criminal charges and argue that shows it wasn't a big deal.

You can fire your attorney at any time. The attorney is entitled to some portion of the contingent fee. Consult with other attorneys before firing your attorney.

If you've suffered injuries from a fall and believe you didn't receive proper medical attention, prioritize your health by seeking a thorough evaluation. Document your injuries with photos. Contact your insurance company to discuss coverage, and preserve all evidence related to your injuries.

You have to decide what amount you want to settle the claim, understanding that it will likely result in an offer lower than what you demand. Take into account medical bills, list wages. And pain and suffering at the very least when making a demand.
A 15 year old was driving 40mph westbound unlicensed, uninsured, and alone down an eastbound road and hit me head on. I was rushed to the hospital with injuries, while the police gave the 15 year old a citation for “driving down the wrong way” ONLY and then proceeded to take her back to school.... View More

Will this hold me liable or admit fault and leave me open to being sued at a later date even though I am not admitting fault
