What?
Not clear what your situation is. If you have a claim and bills left, you need to see if you have "underinsured motorist coverage." Best thing to do, before you ink anything , is get a consult with a member of theArkasas Assn for Justice--they give free consults.
I was charged with no insurance in another persons vehicle due to an accident I was responsible for. The damaged vehicle was covered by their uninsured policy. Nationwide Insurance collection calls every theee months to say my DL will be suspended if I do not pay for damage. Is this possible?... Read more »
In most states the answer is yes. Assuming you were responsible, you want to consider looking at the damage evaluation and figuring out a payment plan. Or you can consult a bankruptcy attorney but the interesting point is I've heard of cases where the debt is erased but because of the way the... Read more »
It's was wrecked. No alcohol was involved. Nor Noone was injured.
Not illegal--they are required to get it off the road. Tacky, lacking in public relations--possibly.
Yes. See 27-51-1306. Unattended motor vehicles.
I retained a lawyer right away. I received treatments for whiplash and PTSD for 6 months. It has been almost 2 years since the accident that the other party's insurance agreed their client was at fault. I have done a lot of the footwork in gathering up the bills, etc. The young secretary/... Read more »
First, set up an appointment for a face to face with him. Part of the problem may be that you finished treatment, the insurance is playing a waiting game--they figure it's a "closed end" case--you recovered, it's 6 months, they can see if he'll fold. Meet with him now. Find... Read more »
I didn't no there would be other injuries. I had 2 have an appendectomy. My car was totaled. I'm disabled. Other vehicle was at fault
Unlikely but worth your talking to a member of the Arkansas Justice Assn where it happened--they give free consults.
Based on my limited knowledge of the facts, it appears that the person operating the vehicle that lost the ATV would be responsible. However, if you had a last clear opportunity to avoid the accident, you could be apportioned some percentage of fault.
Its being a year since the injury. My law call worker comp and the lien people no response. No my lawyer like we can hit them with a 3one and get a little and the rest later. My questions if i do that do worker comp get a have of the fist amount? Do i pay the lawer with the first amount or... Read more »
lawyer usually gets paid at each stage depending on the contract and if the stages are defineable. Suggest you sit down with your lawyer to figure out what is going on, face to face rather than over the phone.
ection, and Car A collides into a part of or back of Car B,
1) Is Car A within right to be overtaking Car B as it is part of a left turn maneuver
2) Besides poor speed differential judgement, which party is at fault for causing the collision (Keep note: Car A is coasting/ braking... Read more »
Very difficult to tell from a verbal--you did a good job but tough to tell. You need to consult a member of the Ark Assn for Justice--they give free consults.Generally, the person who rear ends another is at fault or at least starts out by having to show the other company why they aren't at...

the motorist had a brand new crotch rocket motorcycle and estimated speed was over 2 times the posted speed limit as he shot around the sharp curve and hit me. it is all on video as well and with many witnesses. he had no insurance and my car is broken. what should i do?
If you have insurance you can make a claim. If you do not want to do that you should seek a lawyer. Joe Denton is one of the best. 501.358.4999
We live in Arkansas there is no leash law for dogs a lady was speeding down our road on her cell phone with no shoes my dog was chasing a weenie dog across the street my husband went after him my dog was trotting back across the street when this lady plows into him my husband tried to flag her down...

Turn it over to your insurance company. You are each partially at fault.She should have been looking and wasn't . You have a duty whatever animal it is to keep it off the roadway. Which means stop it from getting on the roadway in the first place.
Possible suspension--any leaving the scene case is worth getting a lawyer consultation from an attorney who handles violations in the court where it is headed.
Then I was contacted by the police should I have to pay storage fees from three weeks ago???
If your car insurance has theft protection file a claim with them. You would need to start with regulations regarding holds on vehicles and exceptions you can ask for.
will my car get fixed or do he get prosecuted
Liability will rest with the at-fault driver. That driver's insurance (assuming he has it) should cover your damages. If he/she does not have insurance, then your uninsured motorist policy should cover your damages. Whether your husband was an excluded driver could complicate a claim for... Read more »
Yes. Ark. Code Ann. § 27-37-305(a) states that every motor vehicle shall be equipped with a rearview mirror.
The other party is threatening to have his cop buddies write me a ticket since they found out my insurance was lapsed and take me to court to pay his fees. I thought I had insurance. It was all on private property in a parking lot and no one got a ticket. He was cutting through the parking spaces... Read more »
If he was on a lane you'd use to exit the lot he had the right of way and 500 for a full release may not be a bad deal.
Driving without insurance can mean your license could be suspended to get insurance, get a release for the 500 would be my advice. You can check with a member of the... Read more »
This determination was made by his insurance company
Usually no as you are only getting back that which you already paid taxes on. Check with your state representative for starters--has nothing to do with veterans just that it's not "income" in most states. If you had sold the car that would be different--even there you'd be... Read more »
You haven't said who is at fault. The p;roblem if you do is that usually you will say things that torpedo your case--either the fault issue or the extent of your injuries. You need to talk to a member of the Ark. Trial Lawyers Assn--they give free consults.
Not sure what you mean. If you mean will you be sued, looks like you might. If you don't have insurance worth at least getting a consult on the ticket from an attorney who handles tickets in the county where your ticket hearing would be.
