Your current state is Virginia
A Tennessee attorney could answer you best, but your question remains open for a week. If you were not hurt, you do not receive money. That's the simple answer. If you were not hurt but were driving your vehicle, and the other vehicle was liable, you could have the right to bring a claim for... Read more »
Or insurance. Does the other drivers insurance still cover my daughter's car?
I hope your daughter is doing OK. As long as it was determined that the other driver was liable for the accident, it should cover the vehicle. The insurance may try to fight you on this due to her being an unlicensed driver, but as long as that did not cause the collision, it should be... Read more »
Auto ax, at fault paid, WC settled and now trying to settle underinsured motorist claim. I researched at it appears that ins just needs “reasonable” time to resolve. Do I need to request arbitration or allow “reasonable” time to pass and settle?
Make your arbitration demand when you have proof that you have exhausted the liability limits of the at fault driver. You can negotiate later. There are requirements to fulfull when making a demand for UIM arbitration. See Insurance Code section 11580.2, or hire an attorney. Given your injuries, I... Read more »
We asked hoa to enforce the rules 4 times, each time asking them not to disclose that a neighbor complained, would give me up as source. I spoke to the neighbors twice before about parking in fire line/street where signs are posted no parking, called the police once, the towing company twice, and... Read more »

I was recently involved in a Car accident at the University drive way where the other car backing up while parking on my way of lane. We shared our insurance info right after - no police involved. His rear end and mine front driver end, but his insurance company claims that in VA if both vehicles... Read more »
I do not know which insurance company it is with which you are dealing, but their explanation of the liability is inadequate at best. Virginia is a contributory negligence state, which means that you have a claim against the other driver if you have not contributed to the fault in the accident in... Read more »
The affidavit is requiring me to give my personal details like my financial records, bank statements etc and I am scared to sign it. Will it give me a problem if I refuse to sign?
Your insurance carrier has likely assigned an attorney to your defense. It would be advisable to have an attorney review anything that the other side is asking you to sign. Good luck

August 8-I was in an accident. The FR 10 form and Traffic Collisiom Report put the other party at fault
August 20- Other party agreed to pay for damages out of his pocket to avoid it going on his insurance (This is a conversation between the other party, the insurance agent and myself)... Read more »
A South Carolina attorney would be best suited to answer your question, but it remains open for three weeks. As a general matter, standard motor vehicle forms (depending on the jurisdiction - it's not a sure bet) sometimes contain information on their reverse sides on how to file for arbitration...

I was hit yesterday by an uninsured motorist who was driving his girlfriends car, which was also uninsured. I do have full coverage, however the day that I got hit, I had literally just reinstated my insurance like not even an hour before (I was in another state for 5 months and didn’t need it)....

Assuming the accident was NOT your fault, you do NOT need an attorney, UNLESS YOU WERE INJURED. If you were injured, contact a personal injury attorney. They will file a UM claim against YOUR carrier. If you reinstated your insurance at 11:59 and then had an accident at noon, you are still... Read more »
I parked but didn't exchange info. Then I left and came back 10 minutes later, but the person was gone. I think they have the license plates, but they weren't hurt from what I could see, I was driving very slow. What should I do now? This happened Thursday October 10, two days ago. I live in Los...

i am in Palm Desert. I would suggest contacting a criminal lawyer in the community in which you live and who practices in the court your case would go to.
hopefully one with the connections to inquire quietly with the DA, about the matter.
clearly a hit and... Read more »
More information is needed but generally you have two years but that would also depend on who your employer is so speak to a lawyer.
No witness, no proof to prove someone's fault. We said, "we are OK, no one hurt, just small damage". However to repair his car (I don't need to repair my car) he said he was going to call his insurance company that day later or tomorrow, and so did I. After one day leaving the scene, I reported...

Your statement is really vague. You can at least tell your insurance adjuster what you know (ie the street you were on, the direction you were driving, what lane you were in, when you first notice the other car, etc) and let the two adjusters figure it out. They will consider stuff like whether... Read more »
i was recently re-ended and also a tree of my neighbors fell into my drive and also damaged my vehicle and now i am getting the run around from 3 insurance companies and need advice on how to handle this
This is something that an Illinois attorney would be best suited to advise you on, but your question remains open for three weeks. There is not really a step-by-step instruction for this situation, based on the brief facts at hand. It sounds like it could turn out to be a complex case because... Read more »
I was involved in car accident where someone hit me in a parking lot. Auto insurance of the insured only wants to pay 70% of this claim, This accident is not my fault.
You could check with them, but they appear to focus their services on other areas - evictions, foreclosures, arrests, bail, deportation - situations that tend to involve hardship. Good luck

I was driving down a street when out of nowhere a man opened his door and it was too late for me to respond so I struck it. I parked my car to check it out and we called the police. A few minutes later his wife comes down and the first thing she says is “is that what the noise was?” When the... Read more »
You can always ask the police officer to change the police report but other than that there's not much you can do. Hiring a lawyer would cost more than what you would save.
I currently have a subrogation out against me. When the accident happened I was using my company’s insurance And now they don’t want to pay for.
I assume you mean, "How can a defend myself in a subrogation lawsuit that's been filed against me?" The answer is that you first consult, in person, an attorney who handles accident defense. You probably will have to pay a reasonable consultation fee. The attorney will go over with you the... Read more »
I was a passenger, I got a herniated disk from my neck and some cuts on my arm, lawyer was referred from the insurance car owner. How can I get legal assistance on this case can I fire my actual lawyer and hire and other?
yes, you can change lawyers without it costing you anything. The lawyers would split the fee.
happy to talk to you and answer your questions..............
Car "A" is speeding , lets say 70 in a 55 zone. Car B is at a 2 way stop sign and pulls out in front of Car A to cross the road right as Car A is coming up to the intersection and Car B gets t-boned..
Car B would bear most, if not all, of the fault.
The report says it happened on Acton Lane Acton Lane THATS false accident happened no acton lane and old Washington rd
You haven't provided enough information. For example, were you injured? If so, you should contact a personal injury lawyer to discuss your potential claim. Regarding the error in the police report, errors are not uncommon. Sometimes they matter, and sometimes they don't. The attorney you speak with... Read more »
Victim- good driver
Suspect- drunk driver gets away
Vehicle- total loss
Hit and run with property damage only is a misdemeanor by statute. Vehicle Code section 20002(d).
I am unfamiliar with the traffic laws of TN and have never been to court before. It was for running a stop sign. I am not being sued and neither car was totaled. Please let me know if it is required to have a lawyer. If not, why would I need to get one if it is not required for me to have one... Read more »
Being liable for tort damages is one thing. But the amount of damages is another. If you were sued then hire a competent attorney to represent you, to at least lessen the amount of damages. That judgment might follow you to Georgia.
