Insurance can’t help. Do I file or does my brother?
answered on Apr 23, 2024
If your brother has a claim for personal injuries, he is the claimant. Even though he was driving your car, he may have coverage from his own insurance company for his personal injuries. It is best to seek advice from a lawyer on this issue, and most, including myself, will offer free consultations.

answered on Apr 22, 2024
I am sorry for your loss. Side window air bags might prevent ejection. Seat belts do a better job of that. You may have claims against the vehicle manufacturer, the rental agency, and/or the driver of the other vehicle (if any). This is too complex for analysis on Justia. You will need to... View More
We have the bill of sale and registered the sale with the DMV. How can we go about being removed as defendants in this case? Case is in Harris County, Texas

Ask the lawyer defending you in the accident case to file a traditional motion for summary judgment asserting that you were not the owners of the vehicle at the time of the accident. You can attach the bill of sale and registration as summary judgment evidence.

My insurance did not pay for his car repairs, I'm going to assume it was because I was not found at fault. I have less than 30 days to respond to a lawyers letter requesting a balance for the insurance. What should I do?

A Kansas attorney could advise best, but your question remains open for almost a week, and time is of the essence. Start by contacting your carrier and placing them on notice of the claim. It is generally the duty of an auto carrier to defend their insured against claims and lawsuits. Good luck
