The back passenger side of my car with the front right of his car. Insurance seems to deem it 50/50 and now he is trying to sue me. What can I do?

I was in a serious car accident. I have been sold two lemons from two different car lots. I feel that I have been mislead and taken advantage of by both of them. I am seeking the justice I deserve.

Contact an attorney to discuss your options. The lemon law only applies to new vehicles but there may be other avenues for you if the vehicles were used.

the other guy crosses center line hits someone head on while they are in a work vehicle on the job all caught on trucks camera. Would worker have to hire his own attorney to sue the other guys insurance for himself or would his employer fight for a settlement on behalf of their employee?

He would likely have to hire an attorney to go after the other driver. You may also have a workers compensation claim.

You have to go to Court to protect yourself is the short answer. Get a copy of the police report. Maybe both of you were cited. As the person switching lanes you have a duty not to switch until it is safe to do so. If you were hurt contact a member of the Missouri Assn for Justice/Trial Lawyers... View More

in most states the taxes are part of the property damage settlement. If they are at fault and car is totaled, chances are it was a big hit and you were hurt. The other side isn't caring for you. Contact a member of the Mo. Assn for Justice for the county where it happened. They give free consults.
The individual that is at fault for an accident did not have enough insurance (underinsured). This person is not listed as the owner of the vehicle, his wife is, and she is not included on the insurance policy. Can she be sued as the owner? Also, the driver was driving on a suspended license, which... View More
