Not if you have the semi truck drivers information. You were not operating your vehicle so you can sue the truck driver and his company if they do not pay your claim.
I’m out the $7,500 for down payment on new car also car payments went up added two more years on a loan and insurance went up none of this would have happened before the accident wondering if I’m entitled to get anything back
answered on Aug 28, 2018
No. The $7500 downpaymrnt and the higher monthly payments were voluntary on your part. You could have purchased a cheaper car and reduced these amounts. These issues are not a direct and proximate result of the accident.

Yes, Kentucky is a comparative fault state. A jury will decide the level of fault for each party. A person can be assinged 1-100% of the fault. For example, if the jury determines the pedestrian was at fault at all, they could be assigned a percentage of fault. For example, jury finds $100,000... View More

No. You cannot pay the ticket and not appear in court. You can, however, hire an attorney to appear for you in that court and possibly resolve it without you coming to court.

The answer is more complicated than it may seem. If you accident is in KY, and you have not rejected the provisions of Kentucky's Motor Vehicle Reparations Act ("MVRA"), then you usually have two years from the crash or two years from the date of the last PIP payment under the MVRA.... View More
A woman backed into my daughter's parked car. When her insurance pays on the claim, do we have to fix the damage with that money, or can we pocket the money instead? The car is paid off and the damage is minor to the rear bumper.
Can I still file a claim against his insurance, even after a few months has past
Brace for 7 week lost my job
answered on Jul 13, 2018
It should, depending on the proof. You may want to consult a lawyer before your next move.
answered on Jul 18, 2018
No, but you may run into problems of proving what happened. File a police report for starters. If you have collision let your company cover it and go after the dog owner.

Hiring an attorney is the only way and fastest remedy you have bc they will continue taking your money otherwise.
i wasnt served until the court had already made the ruling and they served me on the actual wage garnishment....my employeer never even notified me. i was suprised when my check was nearly half
answered on May 26, 2018
If you weren’t ever served, you need to see a local attorney immediately bc the garnishment May be improper or illegal.
i tried for low income assistance even but my gross is what they count. the garnishment was set at 20000 dollars but i didnt even know about it til i was being garnished
answered on May 26, 2018
You may try to negotiate its the garnishee. At some point, you had to have been served with the complaint o thy couldn’t have gotten a judgment against you, which is a prerequisite for a garnishment. You may be eligible to file a chapter 7 or 13. Consult a local bankruptcy attorney who can... View More

No. You are entitled to payment for the damages to your vehicle but if there were no injuries, there is no claim. You may not recover for your wife’s anxiety because you were not there.

The truck loss will be handled separately. You should receive the fair market value for your truck close to Kelley’s Or NADA book value. You should also be reimbursed fully for your medical expenses. Unfortunately, soft tissue injuries are very hard to quantify and even harder to get... View More

Contact the investigating officer, explain your situation, and see if he will release it. He may since you are innocent and pictures of the damage will suffice as evidence. If he won’t release it, hire a lawyer to get it back for you. The judge can order it released to you.

Most states have things an attorney can do to get treatment. Problem now is showing your treatment you lied about is related. Sit down with your attorney, review what can be done.
File a police report. We would now like to do that
answered on Mar 13, 2018
Most police allow you to file a police report on your own. They won't respond--it's just your report but that gets it on the record.
answered on Mar 13, 2018
Not as I understand your question.
If you were not at fault, contact a member of the Ky Assn for Justice--their members give free consults.

Generally as to the other vehicle, the policy covering the car is primary, driver of daughters car secondary.
