You should seek medical attention immediately and content a lawyer after. These types of cases are handled... View More

Hopefully you got their insurance information. If so, make a claim with their insurance company.
A week ago, I was in a left turn lane heading southbound and slowing down to a red light, when a car tried coming out of a gas station and t-boned me. Long story short, I called their insurance two days later and filed a claim. They did the same. I spoke to the adjuster today, and he said the other... View More

Yes, this is why we have and are required to carry insurance.
October 31 2013 I was on my way to work on my motorcycle when an on-coming auto went left of center and hit me head on. I lived but my life ended that day. The guy that did this to me gets to live a normal life scot free. I think he should have to pay. Can I?

Yes you can sue. What you need to do is go see a personal injury attorney immediately if you have not done so yet.

This person wants me to pay half of what it would cost to replace the bumper but I know he just wants the money for the repair and not fix it. He also didn't want to report the incident to the insurance company or file a police report so we didn't. I think he wants to get paid twice for... View More

Yes. to the initial question above. Actually, you can get it rather cheap at a junk yard, most likely.
I was in an accident on a motorcycle where I couldn't stop in time and hit someone which made it my fault. Since I live in Florida and don't need insurance on a motorcycle, if I am at fault, do I need to purchase a motorcycle insurance policy and submit a SR22 form through the insurance company?
Spoke with another lawyer but they were not able to represent me because I received the ticket.
