I had an accident where I didn't have insurance unknown to me. Now the guy with whom I had an accident is asking for money to fix his car and if I don't he will take me to court which will result in my license getting suspended if I do and will cost more. Will I lose my license if it goes to courts?

More information is needed to properly answer your question, but the general answer is yes loss of your license is possible when you do not have insurance.

One would need to see the file to understand fully how your medicals were billed. If it turned out that there are Medicaid/Medicare elements to the billing of your medical services, those liens could take time to reconcile. It's possible your attorney could need to comply with the directions... View More

Based on your description, it appears that the car crash you were involved in did not result in any charges or fines against you. Since there were no legal consequences or penalties stemming from the incident, it is unlikely that you need to report it on your N400 application for US citizenship.... View More
Rear ended at a stop light in 11/23. Kelly blue book average trade value is $18,666. Highest offer I can get is $15000 because I was rear ended by this insurance company’s client.

Carriers do that - they may have a contract with the company that handles their IMEs and peer reviews. Sometimes if the medical review company is a large one, examining doctors may be scheduled randomly, but they don't go to any great lengths to make sure the same doctor doesn't get lined... View More

You are going to need to retain an experienced civil litigation attorney. You can expect to pay an attorney for 1/2 to one hour of attorney time to review the documents and explain your options.
just wondering if my lawyer is doing right by me after reading reviews online im scared i wont receive my settlement as the lawyer has already recieved it 3 months ago and wont release my funds thank you
answered on Aug 24, 2023
No one here can make any judgements as to what is causing the delay. Only your attorney could advise on that. As a GENERAL matter, when it comes to releasing funds, a common cause of delays could involve negotiation and settlement of liens with medical providers or other entities. But that's... View More

Wondering if I legally need to pay this medical bill since I already signed off on the total amount, including all medical expenses from my lawyer
answered on Jul 18, 2023
If a valid bill was not paid from the settlement, you are still responsible to pay it. But your attorney may be responsible for some or all of it if the attorney should have negotiated or otherwise handled the lien. Ask the attorney to negotiate the lien.

if you receive a warning in new jersey for failing to stop for a pedestrian in a marked crosswalk will that increase your auto insurance rates. Not a ticket but a warning. I have a camera in my car and the video shows nothing except a cop waving to turn left. Can I contest this ?
answered on Nov 17, 2022
A ticket filed in the municipal court is required before direct and collateral consequences become an issue. If a police officer gives only a warning, then the court, motor vehicle commission, and insurance company should not find out about the encounter.
