a car accident lawyer, referred to as a Personal Injury Attorney.
call one local, though.
if there is an injury, and you were not at fault, most of us would accept the case on a contingency fee. That means the lawyer will only take a percentage of what he/she gets.

initially i would think you would want to talk to a LOCAL Personal Injury Lawyer.
a far as suing CHP, that is always an uphill battle.
They may still be able to file and you can contact the local DA's office.

Misdemeanor
if loaded: PC 12025 and 12031
a lawyer would need to know the circumstances to tell you what might happen.
the sentence could be different in different courtrooms; different DA and different courthouses.
of course if you had a record or prior it would be more serious.

first, call the police.
Why not let them do the work rather than it being on your dime?
you can call local injury lawyers, but I suspect they would be reluctant to take the case as there is no guarantee of someone that could pay... if there is a judgment.
if the damages are... View More

is this just a co like ADT?
write them to explain the issue and give them X days to respond or you will pursue any and all remedies at your disposal.
if damages are less than $10k consider small claims as you get to court right away.........
or Consult with a LOCAL lawyer for guidance.
My EX employee collect the cash from my client and provided a receipt with her written print and put company seal on it. However she did not deposit those cash into the bank. Does it a criminal case?
answered on Oct 28, 2022
sure sounds criminal on what you have provided and depending on the amount it could be a felony.
The charge is over 20 years old.

if you were not arrested and no case was filed, then there is nothing to Dismiss under 1382.
people in your position have to go to the governor and you don't want to waste your money doing that.

It would appear this "conflict of interest" is something your lawyer should deal with.
I assume s/he would talk to the presiding judge.
Maybe even a "leaked" story to the local paper?
answered on Apr 1, 2024
yes..........
if you are talking about the accident described rather than future coverage,
1. no CDL
2. not insured driver
3. improper use
4. DUI
5. intentional acts etc
of course the ins co may cancel or only sell insurance if the at fault driver is not allowed to use the car.

it depends on the exact facts of the case.

Before you think of suing, see a doc to be sure it is related to work.
many lawyers won't take small Workers Comp cases and if you haven't been treating with a doc, you need to do so asap.
Is there a problem with the timing of the claim/suit? How long ago are we talking about.????
