My attorney says they are not responding to him and don't know what is the hold up. I'm sure there is something he could be doing instead of just waiting for them to respond, it's been nearly 6 months.

There is more to this. When two attorneys agree on case value, the defense attorneys insist on preparing the contracts because they can charge the insurance company for the service. I have NEVER received agreed contracts that were NOT already signed by the defense attorney BEFORE I or my client... View More

Not legally. To collect unemployment, you must be actively seeking employment AND Both Willing and Able to accept a job. If you are in formal training, you are NEITHER willing nor Able to accept a job, if offered, nor are you actively seeking employment.

If you were driving at the request of your employer and you were injured, the injuries and any wage loss would be covered under Workers' Compensation. It is NOT sufficient that you were "on-call" but driving for entirely personal reasons. Under NO circumstances would your car be... View More
I was informed that I had a ticket being sent to my old address a few days ago that’s now tripled in its amount because it was never paid & I was hoping if there was any possible way I can get the amount lowered. If I would’ve known I had a ticket a few months ago I would’ve paid it right... View More

It depends. If the "wrong address" was your prior address and you forgot or didn't bother to notify the Bureau of Motor Vehicles, then you have no chance because it was your responsibility to correct that information. If the clerk made a mistake, you can probably get it reduced.

Whether you have towing coverage or not, get the car out of impound, ASAP. If car rental was important, why didn't you have it on your insurance? The easiest thing to do is to pay your deductible and repair the car through your own insurance. When your insurance resolves the claim, they... View More
My auto insurance has denied my claim for property damage and rescinded my policy due to misrepresentation and false warranties.

If you are correct about your misrepresentations, your insurance is probably within its rights to refuse payment and to cancel you.

You are not alleging Wrongful Death, you are alleging medical malpractice. You should NOT have waited so long. Do you have a doctor who can testify that the failure to diagnose resulted in his death? Are you sure that the cancer from which he suffered would not have been fatal even if diagnosed... View More
I was hit yesterday by an uninsured motorist who was driving his girlfriends car, which was also uninsured. I do have full coverage, however the day that I got hit, I had literally just reinstated my insurance like not even an hour before (I was in another state for 5 months and didn’t need it)....

Assuming the accident was NOT your fault, you do NOT need an attorney, UNLESS YOU WERE INJURED. If you were injured, contact a personal injury attorney. They will file a UM claim against YOUR carrier. If you reinstated your insurance at 11:59 and then had an accident at noon, you are still... View More

You may be exceptionally talented but you do not have the training and experience to properly prepare this case for trial. You probably also lack adequate resources to fund the preparation.

The repair is 777 and my insurance offer him 617 so he just needs to pay 160 extra I am a full time student and only work part time what should I do he keeps bothering me and I told him to contact my insurance again
answered on Sep 5, 2019
You should get involved. Either your insurance thinks the repair is too expensive or they have decided to apportion 20% of the fault to the other driver. If you cannot get your insurance to pay him $777, you should offer to pay the $160. If he sues you, he will get whatever he needs to fix his... View More
I I had a car accident with other driver at fault, but I had lapse of insurance. I live in Indiana, which is an at fault state, so I am trying to be compensated for damages to my vehicle.
answered on Sep 3, 2019
I assume you had an accident with a TN resident, in TN and they were at-fault. If that is true, you need to hire a personal injury attorney in TN to file suit. If it was property damage only, you can probably file in small claims. You sue the person who hit you. All necessary information should... View More
Then he hit the gas and crushed me against my car. Very sore but no broken bones, no hospital. How much should I expect to get from insurance co.
answered on Aug 30, 2019
Unless there is a police report, you should expect $0.00. With a police report and pictures, but no medical, you would be lucky to get a few hundred dollars. The insurance company has NO reason to pay you if there is no legal memorialization of the incident, no diagnosis, and no way to correlate... View More

An unwitnessed or "holographic" Will is NOT valid in Indiana, so your mother died, intestate. Under Indiana Code § 29-1-2-1, where a person who dies intestate and is survived by both children and a spouse, 1/2 of the estate passes to the spouse and 1/2 passes to the children, who take,... View More

Have your insurance repair the vehicle. If you did not have insurance and you believe the at-fault party will pay for the repairs, pay a certified estimator to come out and estimate the damage. Tell the estimator that the cost of repair CANNOT exceed the fair market value of the car. In your... View More

I have no idea what you are asking. "Press charges" is a silly term that usually refers to someone to asking the State's Attorney to file minor criminal charges against someone. If that is what you mean, I assume you did not have insurance on the car and the stepmother wants to... View More
