Can your license and license plate be suspended without notice?
answered on Mar 11, 2017
See my other answer. The driver is typically who is sued, and if they are a minor by getting behind a wheel they consent to suit. May not be the law in Az.
I am currently being sued for car accident that I was in when I was 17 years old. They have been sued just me and like I was married since I was 17. Got pulled over last night and never received any notice of my license plate and license being suspended. My car got impounded and I'm lucky... View More

Sounds like you were sued, they got a judgment. If you had insurance at the time you need to find out what happened.
Also, depending on how many years it was it may be you can get the suspension lifted.
Start by talking to the insurance company you had at the date of the wreck.... View More
My car was parked and the car parked behind me was parked to close to my car and was rear ended resulting in my car being rear ended.

Not as far as I can see. Why try to nail the guy behind you? Go after the guy that rearended him--or better yet if you have collision use that and let them go after both.
Let's face if, if the hit is bad enough, if the other guy was 8 feet away from you you's still have been... View More

He can't pay himself without finishing the job; contact the local bar association grievance committee.
We exchanged numbers and she isn't giving up her info what do I do
answered on Dec 22, 2016
You will give her an estimate and if she doesn't pay say she leaves you no option but to file a police report &/or take her to small claims;
if you have collision let them pay and go after her.
that if anything happened to her car I would have to pay for the repairs. Then, her granddaughter totaled
the car, who is liable? My sister-in-law rents a room from me for $250.00 a month ,plus 50.00 for the tv, but
ever since the accident she hasn't paid me a dime, what can I do?
answered on Dec 19, 2016
Well, you signed so that her grandaughter could drive the car, so it's binding on you. Yes, you can give her a notice to quit for nonpayment, and she can ask you to pay for the car now.Either way you will be paying her.

If you were hit you should have a lawyer already. If you don't talk to a member of the Az Trial Lawyers Assn--they give free consultations.
Sounds to me like they are looking to hold you at fault.
Time for you to talk to an attorney.
He made initial offer at $65,000, other side countered with 34,000. He asked me what to do!! Do I owe him any money if i fire him?
answered on Nov 22, 2016
See my other answer. He may have been using a manner of speech. If you are reasonably bright, the attorney's job is to tell you what they think and you make the ultimate decision--it isn't the attorney's job nor should it be to make ALL decisions in a case. The other question is how... View More
Car accident, other driver liable, my med bills are over 32,000.
answered on Nov 22, 2016
You want to make sure it's for the right reasons. Wrong reasons are that you are huffy because he didn't have a great bedside manner, or didn't say the case was worth what you thought it was, or that you don't like the conclusions he drew. If you switch, you will want to--in... View More
The other driver did an illegal U-Turn and caused the accident, my insurance interviewed the witness and deny the at fault lawsuit for injury and repair on top of that the at fault driver's insurance paid for all my car repair.

I think I answered this but note my answer to the next question. If an attorney doesn't know that a person is represented they are free to write to them. That person may then chose not to write back or call them. Keep the letter. Send a copy to your insurance company. Ask for their dicrection.... View More

If they don't know you are represented, yes. However it's a free country--you should not give them facts just say you have turned it over to your insurance. If they make any threats, write down what they said, the date and time. Don't get into arguments, just say "I disagree,... View More
my insurance medical coverage paid $23,000+ for medical procedures. does underinsured cover anything else for pain/suffer
answered on Aug 30, 2016
Generally no. I assume you have consulted a member of the AzTrialLawyers Assn--after all they give free consultations.
answered on Aug 21, 2016
Only if he plead not guilty and there was a court hearing. Even then you'd have to go to each lower court office where tickets are heard. Make it part of the deal that he has to tell you. Whenever a young adult drives a vehicle owned by someone it's a good idea to state what the preconditions are.
If the health insurance company has paid off the hospital, can the hospital still ask for money from a car accident settlement in Arizona? I understand that health insurance companies work deals with hospitals to pay a lower price so with that being said, could the hospital still ask for more money... View More

Generally it takes two-four weeks. You can check with the Arizona Trial Lawyers. members--they give free consultations. If you got all of the persons policy, and it's a car wreck, you may have underinsured motorist claims but may be an issue if you settled so if that's the case, get a... View More

Insurance companies take unreasonable positions every day. If you are not happy with the offer and position taken, you have the option of filing a lawsuit against the at-fault driver. Ultimately, a case can go to tria and a jury will decide the issue of fault. You should contact a local attorney... View More

You do not have a lot of options, regrettably. You need to hire a lawyer unless the amount of the damages sought makes that impractical. You can try to defend the case yourself but that is going to be an uphill battle to be sure. Good luck Gary!
