I work for a self driving car company in the Bay Area and I got into an accident today where I was parking the company car during my shift and I accidentally backed up into a parked car. All collision procedures took place and I left a note on the car. There wasn’t much damage to either of the... Read more »
Remember that insurance follows the car.....so the insurance for the car you were driving in, should control.
there is no law that you have to report the accident to your insurance co.
when it comes up for renewal, unless they ask, I would NOT volunteer the info.

if you had an accident as a minor and without insurance, I would expect DMV to suspend your license if you had one for a year or hold off issuing one to you for a year.
i would assume the insurance co's will deal with this......i you were a minor and not insured i would expect them to... Read more »

IF YOU DON'T HAVE INSURANCE YOURSELF YOU WILL BE LIMITED ON WHAT YOU CAN COLLECT.
IN ADDITION, IF THE OTHER PARTY HAS A $15K POLICY, BUT YOU HAVE A $500,000 POLICY AND YOU ARE BADLY INJURED, YOU CAN ACCEPT THE $15K AND GO AFTER YOUR OWN INS CO UNDER... Read more »
Car was out of gas at night with no lights or Indicators on. Crashed into it. Who is at fault?
Actually there is some case law on this that says you can hold the other driver responsible and if there was a recent visit to a mechanic and a problem wasn't fixed, you could even hold the shop liable.
The answer given is similar to admonishments received and noted, it is too late, understood
but no attorney has ever furnished the answer I seek, have sought for three years, little wonder
it wasn't filed in a timely manner when the document to be filed is this elusive. In your... Read more »
It doesn't matter what form you use, it will be rejected as untimely. The Clerk of the Board of Supervisors in the County in which the action is pending will likely have a form. It's probably available on their website, but your are too late.
There is white paint on driver's door of his black car, which was backed into spot left of me. I have silver car with no damage on it. They dropped it off at paint shop today and texted me price to pay.
You should try to explain to him that you did not cause this damage to his car. It is always better to try to resolve these matters by talking to your landlord directly to find an amicable resolution. However, if he insists that you caused the damages, he will have to file a lawsuit against you to... Read more »
I am getting sued for damages and personal suffering. The date to appear is june 4th 2021. I am no longer working for the company and the company has gone under since then. Should I appear by myself or should I contact amazons legal department and see if they can help?
The Company's insurance will defend you regardless of the fact that the Company has gone under. The police report likely has the name of the Company's insurer, and the policy number. That should be all you need to contact it and ask for it to defend you.
He is not on the rental car agreement nor is on my auto insurance. The other car(2008 Toyota SUV) was damaged and there was damage to the rental car as well.

The evidence clearly indicates the other driver's fault; in fact, my agent suggested that was true in an email. Since the other driver's insurance refused my claim, I had to go through my own insurance, which required a $500 deductible. I'd like to recover that. Is Small Claims Court... Read more »
You cannot just go and sue to recover your deductible. You took money from your insurance company. It also has a right to recover from the at fault driver. You each own a piece of the same claim, and it has to be presented in the same lawsuit. You need permission from your insurer to pursue the... Read more »

can we sue bmw faulty safety eqpt
So sorry to hear this. Yes, you can sue. Winning is always another matter, but, unlike criminal law, which requires a verdict "beyond a reasonable doubt" in civil law, you need only "more likely than not" or 50% plus a smidge. Still, they can admit fault and there be an... Read more »
A person must use reasonable care in driving a vehicle. Drivers must keep a lookout for pedestrians, obstacles, and other vehicles. They must also control the speed and movement of their vehicles. The failure to use reasonable care in driving a vehicle is negligence. (CACI 700).

You can't sign for your wife. Once she passed, the only remaining part of her claim was for her medical expenses and wage loss, if any. The insurer can withdraw its offer if there was no acceptance by her.
They want access to my insurance bodily damage amount. Should I allow them to get it .
more info would be helpful
you are supposed to exchange ins info at the scene.
let your insurance co fight it out of consult with a local PI Lawyer.
Or insurance the police gave him a pink ticket and he has court case, he said i grabbed the strearing wheel and tried to crash on purpose. How can you know if the court opens a case against his accusations
If they didn't give you a ticket, then it is very likely that you don't have a case. You can check the courts online periodically to verify for up to one year.
I was injured pretty badly and had to be hospitalized for 5 days and due to the back injuries I can’t work for a month and need to keep doing therapy.
The penalty will depend to a great extent on the statute of conviction, and could range from little to no time in custody to several years in custody.
