Firstly, do you have your own car insurance? If so, you need to report this accident to them immediately. If you have car insurance, hopefully they can pay the cost to replace your vehicle, although, I'm sure, it won't be much considering the year of the vehicle. Did the police come to... View More

I'm sorry to hear about this horrible incident. In your sceneario it is possible that both the driver and the company that he was driving for would be liable for your injuries. In Georgia, a company may be responsible for the torts committed by its employees. Additionally, there may be... View More

Notify the insurance company to pay an attorney in your behalf.

OK first of all, if your wife had no liability insurance on her vehicle, the chances that an attorney would pursue this claim against her are almost 0%. Secondly, even if an attorney did pursue this claim, and your only asset is a joint home titled in your names together, that asset cannot be... View More

No. The renter's insurance company. The renter should have insurance covering the rental car. You should look to that direction.

Perhaps. You should read the policy to see if it excludes losses of this nature. But, in any case, I suspect that the insurance company will want more than your word. Do you have any other way of proving the claimed loss of your wallet?

Your plan has serious flaws in it, not the least of which is a possible legal claim from the dealer seeking the remaining monthly payments that you agreed to pay at the beginning of the lease.

Whoever told you that you can just return a badly damaged leased car to whoever leased it to you... View More

If your spouse negligently entrusted you with the vehicle (if, for example there were no insurance), your spouse might be sued. If they were to recover a judgment, they could, in theory, levy upon your spouse's premarital property (as well as marital property).

I don't know what you mean by "a motionless enormo", but if you agree to a dismissal with prejudice, it means that you cannot sue again for the same injury. The release has the same effect. Ask your attorney to explain it to you.

You can consult with and retain an attorney who deals with insurance claims. The attorney should be able to do this on a contingency basis, which means you don't pay the attorney up front, but if you recover additional money, the attorney receives a portion of that.

If you have car insurance, it should defend you against the claim being made against you. If you believe you may have a claim against the other party (say you have injuries, car damages, lost wages, etc), then, just as the other party has done, you'd hire your own attorney. Unless you plan on... View More

The repair shop most likely has liability insurance. Request their insurance company information to set up an insurance claim. If insured, that will likely resolve your issue, but if they don't offer enough money to settle it, you may sue the repair business, and their insurance will cover... View More

Contact his insurance company and demand that it repair or replace your car.

Be ready to negotiate settlement with the other car's driver; you are probably liable for letting your boyfriend drive the car. And start saving for another car. Next time, please don't have a car without insurance.

For your medical bills up to a certain extent (usually about $10,000), your PIP covers you, and the insurance directly pays the medical providers. For compensation to you for your pain and suffering and for bills in excess of PIP, you may make a claim if the other party was at fault, and you would... View More

If he is involved in an accident in your car, both his insurance and your insurance may provide coverage, as you both may be named defendants in a lawsuit. You will have to review your policy to confirm there is coverage under those circumstances and it does not fall under a policy exclusion. If... View More

You will not be able to get the answers you need for this matter online. Seek a free consultation with an attorney handling criminal and traffic cases. If you mean you had no valid DRIVER'S LICENSE (not just expired tag) at the time of the crash, I assume you are or will be charged with a... View More

Have you contacted the Fla. Dept. of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles to ask what you can do to reinstate your DL? Generally, DL suspension for failure to pay a money judgment arising from a car accident is up to three years. The statute of limitations is irrelevant - that's about deadlines... View More

Yes you have an injury claim. Did you have uninsured motorist coverage on your vehicle? If you did, you can make a claim with your insurance company if the other driver is not located or the other driver is located and does not have insurance. If the other driver does have insurance, you make a... View More

Yes, of course you should give your reasons. It is up to the judge, and if you don't give your reasons it is more likely that the motion will be denied.
