It's possible liability could be apportioned between both of you, depending on how the accident is evaluated by the insurance company investigator. If they didn't have insurance, check the terms of your UM... View More

An Arizona attorney should advise, as this could be covered under state-specific civil procedure rules. However, your question remains open for two weeks. The short answer is "yes" in most jurisdictions nationwide. Sometimes interest is capped by statute, but claimants can sue for it.... View More

An Arizona attorney could advise best, but your question remains open for a week. This might be difficult to get a definitive response for in a public Q & A forum. If you reached out to attorneys in your state, they would likely ask to review the policy thoroughly before advising on whether the... View More

An Arizona attorney could advise best, but your question remains open for two weeks. Until you are able to consult with a local attorney on V&TLs, the statute should be continuously enforced if it became law. Good luck
I since have had my license suspended and an sr-22 put on me because of the buyers failure to transfer the title in their name or register it. Why do I have to pay for their mistakes.

Not 100% sure of AZ law, but in CA, on sale, the seller sends a notice of transfer to the DMV in order to give notice of the sale of the vehicle. I recommend you contact several attorneys in your area that practice this type of law, as soon as possible. Thank you for using Justia ask a lawyer.
my card on file was on auto pay, i received a new card and didnt notice the insurance hadnt been paid. i never received any form of notice informing me the payment was declined. resulting in the cancellation of my insurance.

If your insurance was canceled due to nonpayment of the premium, you’re going to have to pay for the repairs or buy a new car out of pocket. I wouldn’t expect insurance to cover it.

An Arizona attorney could advise best, but your question remains open for two weeks, and you may be in a position where you need to remove the vehicle from storage. This appears to be something you might need to coordinate with the finance company if they hold a lien and possessory interest in the... View More

you can turn in the rental--and may want to. If you have your own coverage, ask about it from your insurer. However, the big issue is property damage and if you paid for that you want to know you are covered.

Two years ago my mom crashed into my neighbor. They told us that we can just pay the insurance down payment ($500) and that would be the end of it. We paid the $500 in cash and didn’t get any proof (dumb, I know). We later got letters in the mail from an attorney saying we need to pay over $2000... View More

I'm sorry about your predicament. Unfortunately, the options are limited because two years have elapsed. It sounds like the attorney is handling a subrogation action for the insurance carrier to get its money back for the property damage claim. It doesn't look like this is stemming from... View More

They are out of town and asked him to watch there house. They have home insurance he does not.

Insurance generally runs with the property, so the relevant policy would be the one for the neighbor, not the one carried by your grandfather. The terms of the policy would govern coverage. The neighbors could put in a claim through their carrier. If it is accepted and covered, there could be a... View More

Typically it takes gathering all the relevant information including the crash report. It is rarely advisable to do this alone. You should at least call an attorney over the phone and request a free consultation. If it is a meaningful accident and you were injured, you will likely want to hire an... View More
They admitted fault, tried to make payment but what they offered wasn't enough to fix it. Can their insurance refuse to pay on the basis that their client wants to pay out of pocket. I didn't think that was legal.

Not illegal but may be a violation of regulations. Big point is that you want to contact a member of the Az Trial Lawyers--they give free consults.
Say someone is in a car accident for which the responding officer deems them responsible and cites them.

Not at all. First it would be inadmissible second it isn't what the case is about. You have a good argument to make if you couched it in terms of believing it was safe to do what you did. Depends on what --hypothetically--someone has been charged with.If you were hurt you may have a... View More

Note: no one comes from "nowhere"--they came from a place you weren't watching. However, it sounds like you had position, so you likely have a case.
