Can I be held liable for an accident my brother had if he used my credit card and had no insurance?
answered on Jan 17, 2024
A Delaware attorney could advise best, but your question remains open for a week. Until you're able to consult with a local attorney as to the operation of insurance law in Delaware, in most places, that should not create liability for the credit card holder. It's usually the vehicle... View More
The driver I believe is uninsured as he said he would pay for the damages. The driver also has a temporary license. We did not file a police report. The driver does not own the company vehicle but does work for the company. There is video footage of my car getting hit Infront of the grocery store.... View More

The person that was hit... their insurance company is bugging me and wants me to sign an affidavit stating she wasn't in my policy or living at home.
answered on Apr 8, 2021
No, you do not have to sign an affidavit, however, it may (or may not) be in your and your 24 year old's best interests. My suggestion is that you contact an attorney or 2 in your area, bring the paperwork (affidavit, emails, correspondence) to your meet with the attorney and explain the... View More

Hospital and insurance have 3/12. Will the date be discussed between adjuster and hr and should I just not apply for PIP because of discrepancy?
answered on Mar 31, 2021
The discrepancy sounds like a mistake and can easily be corrected----you should not use that to prevent you from applying for PIP. Good luck.

The insurance company decided the other driver was at fault for an accident I was in recently. My car is not drivable and as a result I can’t see my therapist who has said I should be there every week. I have really been struggling without access to therapy, is it worth opening an emotional...

This sounds like it would be difficult case, if it were to be based on not being able to get to a therapist's office due to an inoperable vehicle, for which the fix could ordinarily be a rental vehicle or reimbursement of transportation expenses. Emotional trauma can be an element of damages... View More
can't proceed to trial?
answered on Dec 5, 2018
Evidence would be necessary to go to trial, but it’s possible there is evidence if an ambulance responded, you were taken to an emergency room, there was a police response, a property adjuster inspected the damage to your vehicle, etc. Without knowing what happened, it’s difficult to say what...

I was driving a State owned car at the time of the accident. I was hit from behind by driver on cell phone. The officer did not put the cell use in the report he also never asked if I needed medical attention. I drove myself to hospital afterwards. Two days later the person at fault's... View More

It is curious that an offer should be made without seeing the medical records.

But today I filled a report. Do I have a case?
answered on Feb 26, 2018
I have had several. Problem is if no damage it'll be uphill. Consult a member of the Del Assn for justice--they give free consults.
I was given a violation for duties at a stop sign by the arriving officer to the scene of the accident, (he was not present nor did he see the accident) what case law can be presented for defense ??
answered on Feb 14, 2018
Look at the statute and argue you did what it said. Presumably you came out and someone hit you. If they didn't have a stop sign too they have the right of way.
answered on Sep 22, 2017
Look at your fee agreement. It usually says for the amounts recovered. Two checks for one case mean that's the amount recovered. The exception might be if one was for property damage not part of an injury claim.
I pay for under insured motorist and had to use just for that reason.1 check came from their insurance and 1 from my own
answered on Sep 22, 2017
You bet. The underinusured is like another liability claim except the lawyer has to show your case is worth more than the limits of liablity s/he collected for you. The workman is worth his hire. (1 Timothy 5:18)
My friend purchased extra rental insurance. Do I have a claim for pain and suffering?
answered on Aug 6, 2017
Yes. Contact a member of the Delaware Assn for Justice like Thomas Crumplar. Tell him I suggested you call.
I was at a red light, in the right turn lane. My turn signal was on, and I waited for an opportunity to turn right onto the road. Assuming the opening was large enough, I made the turn. I was t-boned on the side of my door within 10 seconds after. I understand that this is my fault, but could the... View More

1) If you made a turn it wasn't 10 seconds.
2) I assume you reported it to your insurance. Insurance will provide you with an attorney if you are sued..
3)If you didn't get a ticket you aren't in court.
Get a copy of the crash report. It may cast light on... View More
I was in a car accident and my car got totaled. It wasn't my fault but now I am out of a car. The offenders insurance should be paying for a rental
answered on Jun 22, 2016
The offenders insurance should give you a "prior authorization" though depending on your state they may not have to (depends on what state it happened in). If your car got totaled chances are you have an injury so I suggest you contact a member of the Delaware Trial Lawyers Assn--they... View More

Whether there was a police report doesn't affect whether you can file a lawsuit. Talk to a local lawyer.

Driver left the scene on foot keys were in car and drugs were found in it. Was reported stolen 3 days prior
answered on Aug 11, 2015
The owner's insurance may not cover it, and the driver is probably gone (and uninsured). May be easiest to turn it over to your insurance.
