Beyond that, a police officer has broad discretion in making an arrest. If you believe the arrest was unlawful, you should discuss the... View More

The way this works is that you need to ask a question. You only tell us that you were a passenger in a used car that is 5 - 15 years old. Then you say that you think there was an issue with the airbag because the airbag bursted/ruptured.

Essentially, you are asserting that the airbags... View More

Your facts just don't make sense. If you had an accident in August 2017, your attorney needed to file suit by August 2019 or the statute of limitations would have run and you would be barred from any recovery. If your attorney filed suit in August 2019, your deposition would have been... View More

It’s unlikely due to both the statute of limitations (since accident was in 2019) and the fact that there was a settlement. However if the amputation has some additional cause (medical negligence perhaps?), then it might be possible to recover in some other way. It’s best to contact a lawyer to... View More

You need to check with your attorney. Pacer shows the case was closed on 12-04-23.

I'm very sorry to hear what you have been through. It's possible the police report number you were provided is incorrect. If that's the case, please know you can also search for police reports using the name of your "friend" and/or your own name, the date of the crash, and... View More
