That's a tricky one to answer without more information. Some owners might have to go through their own collision coverage if there is not enough property damage coverage for all the damage. Please call a local personal injury attorney to discuss the details so you get a fair result for both... View More 
The question is as stated in the title. I ask this primarily because they have a coverage of $25,000 which is, according to my attorney, the maximum I will get out of this case. After my legal fees this leaves me north of 16 grand, but in order to restore myself to where I was at financially before... View More

Yes you can pursue someone legally even if they do not have insurance or do not have enough insurance. However, the better question is whether it is worth it to go after such a person, as not everyone is collectible (e.g., not everyone has money to pay you). For example, if the person has... View More

If you can prove that the bicyclist was at fault and caused you damage, then yes, the bicyclist would be responsible for your damages.

You might have a claim for the scarring. Call a local medical malpractice attorney and discuss the details to see what options you have. Basically, if the dermatologist did anything wrong and that caused the scar, you definitely have a claim. Generally, there is a 2 year statute of limitations... View More
