It depends! If you have no fault coverage your medical bills will be paid by your insurance up to the amount of coverage that you purchased (typically $10,000.00). Excess bills will be paid by the party at fault. If you were injured by an uninsured or under insured driver your own policy would pay... View More 
My name and the husband are named on the deed, not the wife, but because Kentucky is a dower state, she has interest.

Persistence sometimes works. You may be able to research the driver by license plate number. If you have uninsured coverage you can let them handle that issue, as they will seek to recover what they paid from the driver at fault.

It is possible to make an argument that the down payment was a gift to the marital estate. However, if dad testifies that this was not the intent, the check was made out to daughter only not to daughter and husband, it is likely non-marital. Inheritances are usually non-marital and separate... View More

It could be the other party's fault such as if they failed to yield, or ensure clear path before changing lanes and... View More

My license? The court date is the day after I'm scheduled to go get my license back.

Charged with a DUI 4th could have got license back in five years however never did. Now it's six years later and I've been charged with driving on DUI suspended. Shouldn't it only be driving on suspended license? Or no license?

If you never took steps to renew your driver’s license then it must have been still suspended. If you are eligible for reinstatement then your case should be continued and license reinstated. Discuss with a lawyer.
