Does that make it mine because it's my car I got a possession charge probable cause charge so far
"Possession" means that something is "within your scope of control." It has nothing to do with "ownership." Drug laws intentionally make NO DISTINCTION between possession and ownership because it is contraband - illegal to have it - irrespective of whether it belongs... Read more »
I'm also htv from dui's. This is the fourth time caught w/o insurance. I've already called down state to see what with them is going to happen with my license. 1 year suspension, 3 years Sr 22 insurance, and a $1000 reinstatement fee unless the judge does something else. I'm... Read more »
At present, you have no real options. Telling the Court that you are on a fixed income and disabled only gives the Court two more reasons why there is no compelling reason to give you a special privileges license. You will eventually need to file for Bankruptcy protection once the insurance claim... Read more »
was suspended for an accident involving a dog I wasn't involved in or even knew of...i got 8 kids, i cant afford this , what do i do now pro se?
In law, a dog is a chattel (an animal that constitutes property). If you leave the scene of an accident involving property damage and fail to contact either the owner of the property or law enforcement in Indiana, you commit Class B Misdemeanor which is punishable by a fine of $1,000 and/or...

I'm a whistle blower who worked in the radiology department at Mercy Hospital in Creve Coeur, Missouri. I have been a victim of surveillance abuse since 2017. What do I do when being denied an attorney and police are neglecting me?
You need to re-post this under Missouri Law because the events took place in that venue.
Suppose that two teenagers in Illinois (one fifteen and one seventeen) are caught being intimate by the police. The fifteen-year-old, though not yet the age of consent, was not threatened, pressured, or forced into this act by her seventeen-year-old boyfriend; they both went willingly out of mutual...

On your facts, the only criminal offense with which the boy could be charged is "sexual abuse" which is a class A Misdemeanor. The boy can only be charged by the State's Attorney. The girl's parents may make a request that charges be filed but whether to charge someone with any... Read more »
In regards to being paid by worker's comp.
If you contracted Covid-19 as a front-line worker, you enjoy a rebuttable presumption that it was work-related. Once that is proven, it is the same as any other Workers' Compensation claim. In Illinois, an injured worker is not compensated for the first three days that they must be off work... Read more »
There is a witness to who was actually driving the car. I'm being charged with out ever getting anything from the police or talking to the police. And both insurance company are holding me responsible through hersay
If there is an eyewitness who can exonerate you, plead "Not Guilty" in Traffic Court and subpoena the eyewitness. The judgment of the Court will satisfy the insurance company. You say that you "[Never got] anything from the police." Is that because you live at an address that... Read more »
You absolutely CAN be sued but it is silly to contemplate suit, just turn it over to your insurance company. If you do not have insurance, you owe whatever damages the other driver and occupants can prove. Under the circumstances, the other driver will process a claim through the uninsured... Read more »
It is a long story, but basically I was selling an item through an app with a protection policy of as long as you buy through the app then you are safe, but recently I got tricked into thinking this guy used the app to purchase some items to me, but he didn't and sent a fake email as... Read more »
Nothing in your question makes any sense. Perhaps you are not fluent in English. I have used PayPal since 1999. When someone pays you through PayPal, you receive an email confirmation AND the funds are IN YOUR ACCOUNT. In the days before PayPal, when you won an auction on eBay and paid by... Read more »

If you have an accident, it MUST be reported to the police. Your daughter was probably charged with leaving the scene of a property damage accident. She was NOT ticketed for having an accident. She was probably ticketed for NOT reporting it. Even when the only damage is to your car, you MUST... Read more »
Yes. Once he took control over your car, he had a duty to return it in the same condition that he received it.
Would I get charged as a minor or and adult or not at all for a crime that I did around 12-13 years of age, now that ima 17 years, and they reported me at 18 with no evidence, only oral statements?
1. NEVER admit to committing a crime in social media.
2. Two years after the commission of a Misdemeanor OR Five years after the commission of a Felony, you CANNOT be charged with ANY crime unless it was MURDER, which has no SOL (Statute of Limitations).
3. The filing of Criminal... Read more »
A background check reveals the following information: *** ACCIDENT ***
CITATION ISS FOR TRAFFIC VIOLS OTHER THAN SECTIONS 11-501 OR 11-502 OF THE IVC
PERSONAL INJURY ACCIDENT
Can I somehow get this removed? Again, the citation was thrown out in court.
The fact that you were cited does not change because you were not convicted. EVERYTHING goes on your driving record, along with the disposition. It cannot be changed, with very rare exceptions like misidentification (i.e. it wasn't you).
The insurance totals it out and cuts them a check for $6300 which goes to the bank leaving them owing $700. They then turn around and say you need to pay them $6000. Does this seem right? Not denying that something has to be paid, but it seems that they are trying to get paid twice. Advice me... Read more »
Assuming that you agree that you were at fault for the accident, you would be obligated to pay the owner of the car $700 as that is the limit of the expense they incurred.
You are asking the wrong question, of the wrong people. You are asking people who are experts in Workers' Compensation law about bankruptcy law. The three big categories of debt which generally cannot be discharged in bankruptcy are as follows: Court-ordered child support; debt which... Read more »

So I have to pay a fine and on court supervision. Today October 19 I had court for a terrible accident on... Read more »
If your insurance was active on 9-12-20, you should* be alright. Understand that the officer did NOT cite you with "speeding," he cited you for going too fast for conditions. 15 mph can be "too fast" on ice. You can hydroplane at 30-40, depending on tires and vehicle weight... Read more »
as a contractor, I do not have worker compensation insurance. I hire people to do the job. how can I protect myself from job site injuries happening to any of the laborers.
Easy. You require that any Sub provide proof of WC insurance BEFORE you agree to do business with them and keep a copy on file. This does not mean that you MAY be on the hook if the Sub's WC coverage lapses and someone is injured. It's the best you can do.
The work performed by an attorney is often not apparent to the client. You also need to recognize that you may not be entitled to any refund from the first attorney. The much better course of action is to meet with the attorney and give them an opportunity to let you know exactly what they have... Read more »
$25.000 left for pain & suffering. Can i despute this?
You need to restate your question in terms that we can understand. A "judgment" can ONLY be rendered by a Court. If you really mean a "Judgment" of $25,000.00, you have an attorney and should discuss this with him/her.
Insurance companies CANNOT Lien anything. They... Read more »

The important thing here is that you recognize that your behavior was ill-considered and could well have ended in your arrest/and or loss of your driving privileges. Let it be a lesson learned. Wherever you are, stay there for the evening. No officer is going to issue a ticket for behavior that he... Read more »
