It sounds like you are being sued on the Note you signed. An attorney can sue the other party for contribution, but collection is another matter. Bankruptcy or a Settlement may be options. If a Judgment goes down, protect your assets and file a Notice of Exempt Property.
If you're involve in an accident not at fault, the at fault drive does not have enough to covered medical bills. But, the vehicle you are in as a passenger has insurance, the owner tell her insurance you not supposed to be in the car. But, it's your husband driving the car and it's... View More

A Tennessee attorney attorney could answer best, but your question remains open for four weeks. As a general matter, an insurance company will settle for the policy limits when it determines that it is a good business decision to do so. There's no hard fast rule that if you satisfy a certain...

If your insurance does not cover the whole amount of damages you'll have to file a lawsuit against the driver/parents to try and recover a judgment for damages. But you can't force the police to issue citations.

You did not state this, but it sounds like your grandmother has passed and there are things still in her name, such as these life insurance policies. You should contact a probate attorney to help you with getting those assets retitled. The type of process that will be needed will depend on more... View More

As to the auto policy, you probably have no cause of action since you have no damages at this time. Unless it is provable it hurt your credit rating or something, there is no case. You could file a Declaratory Judgment action to get your name off, but you should just call the Carrier and complain.... View More
I was held against my will at a local hospital for weeks while they drained my insurance and abused me. The hospital doctors used all sort of claims and lies to keep me there under a psychiatric hold. This removed all my rights as a patient as well as my civil rights. I believe they did this...

More facts would be required to evaluate your issues. Consult local counsel to determine what, if any, claims you may have.

For the best guidance, you could check with a Tennessee attorney. But your question remains open for five weeks. As a general matter in most any jurisdiction, you could simply make a written request. It doesn't need to be a demand letter, particularly if it is a business entity with which you... View More

I went to pay November early as I always do and it said canceled, I never received anything from them. They said they canceled because I was 15 days late. Due on 15th, claim they... View More

You need another Insurance Company today. Would you trust Progressive to honor a claim now? Unless you had an accident, forget about it. You have no cause of action.

This is something a Tennessee attorney could answer best because insurance is generally governed by state law. But your post remains open for three weeks.

I stopped medical treatment in August of 2017 and the case has been delayed until March 2020. Can I bring separate claim against Allstate?

answered on Oct 3, 2019
No, you have no contract with Allstate. The insurance co. is probably not a party, just representing their insured. You probably need an attorney who might file a Motion for Summary Judgment. I hope you have adequate proof of your medical damages.
Claim 2 would have required repairing the damage again had they paid the first claim. The car was safely and legally drivable despite body damage. I'm in Nashville.

Insurance companies refuse coverage like that all the time. Your only recourse is to sue for breach of the insurance contract. It may or may not be worth your while to hire a competent attorney.
answered on Jun 19, 2019
If you're talking in the realm of accidents, many settlements do take place out of court. It could all depend on the case. If both sides are more or less aligned on who is at fault, they agree on their figures for reasonable damages, then they will likely settle out of court. If they... View More
I was in an accident and i was uninsured. So i got a ticket and license suspended. Does this on affect the vehicle that was in the accident?Or does that include both of my vehicles?
answered on Jun 12, 2019
If I understand your question correctly, I think you misunderstand the difference between your LICENSE and the vehicle REGISTRATION. these two things are not the same. Your license is for you only- it is the authorization that you can legally drive a vehicle ( ANY vehicle, even one you don't... View More
He was ticketed for straddling lanes and improper lane change. I'm I responsible for getting my vehicle repaired as I'm being given the run around by his insurance company. I was also told I'd be responsible for 20% of a rental or cab fees.
answered on Dec 16, 2018
This is why you need to contact a lawyer after a crash. This sounds like the usual insurance baloney where they try to say you are 10,20.30% at fault based on---well, it's an "accident" so it's no-one's fault (until they are trying to soak you for contribution).

answered on Jun 18, 2018
Your question has nothing to do with real property. Besides the roof condition, you must read your Insurance Policy. That Contract will control your rights. In the mean time find another Carrier now. Non Insurance is a Default under your Deed of Trust. It is very doubtful that after you get... View More

If you had car insurance at the time of the accident, contact your insurance company to let them know of the lawsuit. They should protect you pursuant to the policy, which would include an attorney. If you did not have valid car insurance, you are on your own but should consider contacting an... View More

answered on Feb 6, 2018
Going to driving school may impact your ticket. But it doesn't impact who is at fault in the accident- unless you were found guilty. Then it might be admissible as to fault. I am assuming you pled not guilty and received diversion if you attended driving school.

Your question does not specify, but I assume this health insurance is for minor children?

You may have to bring a lawsuit against them to make the insurer pay for the damage. You can turn the claim in to your insurer to have the car repaired and your insurer may pursue the other company as well as your deductible.

If you had insurance that should cover the suit. Even if they say they aren't covering the event,you are being sued and they should cover you, and get you an attorney.
