You have not provided much information. As a passenger you can make a claim against any driver that might have been responsible for the accident.
Happened in Savannah, Georgia. I should have had surgery to repair my ACL when the injury occurred...14 years of pain and not being able to run and play with my children because I was misdiagnosed. Is this a malpractice case?

It could be malpractice but your time to sue has long passed. The statute of limitations in your state is two years from the date of injury.
How to find out if attorneys have complaints for malpractice?

You should check with the Attorney Disciplinary Board of your state. I would try their website.
the only one on the title but I am paying his insurance. If he were to have an accident and hurt someone could I be liable in anyway? I know he smokes pot on occasions but it is legal in Colorado. Does this make it negligent entrustment?
answered on Jun 12, 2015
If you are just paying for the insurance in his name, no, you would not have any liability in the event he is in an accident. Negligent entrustment is when you let someone else use YOUR car.

Once a case is in litigation, there generally is no set time for it to be resolved. You need to speak with the lawyer handling the case as to why it is taking so long.

A medical malpractice case for injury must be brought within one year from the date the claimant discovered the negligent act, but no more than three years from the date of injury. You should contact a medical malpractice lawyer for a free consultation.
Can the police still get involve in the case? He still has the information can he still get charges on me?
answered on Jun 6, 2015
I don't understand your question. If you and the other driver "come to terms," that would be the end of the story. Why would the police get involved? I guess you need to explain what "come to terms" means.

It is hard to say other than... it depends. Do you have a lawyer representing you? If yes, you should direct your question to him or her. If you do not have a lawyer, you should contact one for a free consultation.

Your question is confusing. Has your case settled? Why would you need another lawyer? Straighten the matter out with your lawyer.
First, she told me her dog "ran into" my 1 year old with his mouth open. She still has a scar over her mouth. After that incident I told her she could not have the dog around the kids or I would have to find another babysitter. She agreed, saying the dog gets nervous around the kids so... View More

Yes, you can sue her for negligence but do you think she is covered by insurance or has the money to pay a judgement? Seems unlikely.

Cooperate with the hospital and police. I do not see this as a viable medical malpractice claim. The cost of the litigation would outstrip any potential recovery. Of course, you can contact a medical malpractice lawyer in your area for a free consultation.

Any question you have about what your insurance company is asking you, and why, should be addressed to your insurance company.

If he or she is a solo practitioner, not only can you change lawyers but you must get another lawyer. If your lawyer is part of a group, some other lawyer in the practice will most likely take over the case.
My aunt and sister's lawyer had a document forged, saying that I signed a deed in January 16th 2014, when in fact I never signed it and I have 2 letters stating that I need to come into the office to sign off on the deed.

Forgery is a crime. If you suspect the lawyer of forgery, you should file a complaint with the appropriate bar association/disciplinary committee.

More information would be needed to give you an answer. You should contact a medical malpractice lawyer in your area for a free consultation.

Without a physical injury, there wouldn't be much a personal injury lawyer could do for you.
answered on May 30, 2015
If there is no negligence against the person who invited you over, there is no case. What did the person do to cause your injury? It appears you were injured because you decided to jump the fence.
