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... View More

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.

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... View 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.

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... View More

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... View 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.
answered on Nov 11, 2016
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.
I was injured in a MVA and the other party was found at fault and issued a citation by the state police.

The citation lists Arkansas statute 5-65-103 as the code violated.
answered on Sep 6, 2016
I'd say you could. Even without PD, if you were driving and bac is over 2% if minor. If adult you are near the line that I understand is 8%. If you got a citation get a consultation from an attorney who handles DUI cases, even if you have to pay.
V1 is claiming green arrow to turn left. V2 is claiming green light to go forward in outside lane colliding with V1 passenger side. There were no witnesses and no cameras.

No one can give you an answer over the internet without seeing the report, knowing the light sequence etc. If the light starts out with an arrow then goes to green, if you were stopped and then went on a left turn while other traffic was held, that's different from other light sequences....

They need to get an attortney who handles criminial charges. A lot depends on where they wre. If they were not in traffic, and no one was behind the wheel maybe the cop just got it wrong.
