Were you served after the settlement? You should contact your insurance company and find out what happened so that you can be prepared for whatever additional case has been filed. If you have not been served and the case has settled, the insurance company should ensure the lawsuit is dismissed for... View More

1. First, it does not matter who was at fault in an auto accident, you are entitled to get the identification and insurance information of any other drivers involved in your auto accident. The law in Texas is that drivers are required to exchange this information - regardless of who the police feel... View More

A Texas attorney could advise best, but your post remains open for a week. There was not a question included in the post, but you might be wondering about your rights here? I hope you weren't injured, but if you were, you could reach out to attorneys to discuss in greater detail. Most... View More

Typically, you cannot sue the insurance company for more than their insurance policy limits. There are one or two exceptions, but unless you have made a demand for the insurance policy limits (with a whole bunch of provisions in it), then you are probably limited to the insurance money. You can... View More

From the way you phrase the question, it sounds like you believe you caused the collision. You may want to go over the details with an attorney, just in case.

If you were driving someone else's vehicle:

Did you have permission to use the vehicle you were driving?

Yes, if she was unlicensed you can possibly be responsible for "negligently entrusting" your vehicle to an unlicensed driver.

It certainly sounds like you have a valid claim against either Discount Tire, the tire manufacturer, or both. The real question in my mind is whether there were significant injuries from the crash, as these can be expensive cases to pursue.

While I hope it never comes to this, however, if you live in a community property state and/or you jointly own assets, then it is possible that you could be made a part of a lawsuit seeking to seize assets in which you have an interest. Of course, before this occurs, there would have to be a... View More

You need to contact the Texas Department of Public Safety if this is a driver's license suspension in Texas. There is a page on their website that covers what to do in the case of an auto accident suspension due to no insurance. See:... View More

A Texas attorney could advise best, but your question remains open for three weeks. As a general matter nationwide, the victims would probably go after the woman (as the registrant of the vehicle) and the driver. The fact that he doesn't have insurance is irrelevant. Insurance follows the car,... View More

You may be liable for negligent entrustment, depending on the circumstances. Check with your auto insurance carrier ASAP to see if they will cover this and handle the defense of the case.

It has been too long for a criminal conviction because there is a 10 year period specified by the statute of limitations for theft from an estate. See: Texas Code of Criminal Procedure article 12.01(2)(A)

The short answer is no. Because first, it's not clear that you have any damages, second, you've given no indication of why the city should be responsible for what the man did, and third, it's extremely difficult to sue government for anything, even the things they Are responsible for.

It's not clear that you have a question. However as it involves some serious issues, and this is a public site, I suggest you contact an attorney who handles criminal defense in the states where you are charged or where you have concerns and do not discuss these issues on any social media.

Yes, you can. However, it will be a redacted report. You would have to request it under the freedom of information act at the particular police department that took the report.

A Texas attorney could advise best, but your post remains open for four weeks. Only a local attorney could advise meaningfully as to the operation of first-party benefits and the type of jurisdiction Texas is in terms of such benefits, but as a general premise, a number of different forms of money...

Do you have collision insurance? As a general rule, auto insurance follows the vehicle rather than the driver. If you do have collision coverage, your best bet may be to file a claim, pay the deductible, and work out a deal (in writing) with this person to pay you back anything you had to pay out...

Well, you have been sued, so I guess they can sue you. What you really want to know is whether you have any liability for the damages. Typically, if you weren't the one driving, the answer is no - you're not liable, unless they can show that you allowed someone you knew to be dangerous... View More

Unless Grandfather has insurance that will cover this, it sounds like he may be on the hook to pay the damages. Can you sue granddaughter to recover? Sure, but collecting anything is unlikely.

I suggest grandfather take the car back immediately.

Her insurance company can't "charge" you at all, but they can sue you for the damages they had to pay, whatever that is. Typically, if the cost to repair the damages are more than the car is worth, they pay the value of the car. I suggest you get a release in exchange for your... View More
