You indicate that there was no "damage to either vehicle", but the default judgment apparently indicates otherwise. I suggest that you get an attorney to negotiate a settlement (perhaps paying only a portion) with the judgment creditor.

Your inquiry is a bit vague. If this was a hit-and-run, with a driver fleeing the accident scene, what does "found at a hit and run" mean? If you mean the truck was found somewhere else, and police determined that it was the vehicle that hit and ran, AND the police have not yet... Read more »

GEICO knows about it, so it is doubtful that failing to "put a claim on [your] insurance" would save you any money. You should ask GEICO to pay the claim; if they do, they may want to try to find the identity of the Toyota's owner, and file suit against her.

If you get in an accident without being insured, you will probably be in serious trouble. But does your mother have insurance? Have her check with the insurer to see if you would be covered.

I am sorry to hear about your mother's situation. It is devastating to be injured in an accident and, even worse, knowing the at-fault party was not be held responsible for their negligent actions.

Under Florida's statute of limitations, you have four years from the date of the... Read more »

It's possible that they want to investigate the condition of the vehicle for some reason. Your insurance company should have assigned you an attorney. Ask that attorney about the document they want you to sign.

Firstly, do you have your own car insurance? If so, you need to report this accident to them immediately. If you have car insurance, hopefully they can pay the cost to replace your vehicle, although, I'm sure, it won't be much considering the year of the vehicle. Did the police come to... Read more »

I'm sorry to hear about this horrible incident. In your sceneario it is possible that both the driver and the company that he was driving for would be liable for your injuries. In Georgia, a company may be responsible for the torts committed by its employees. Additionally, there may be... Read more »

Notify the insurance company to pay an attorney in your behalf.

OK first of all, if your wife had no liability insurance on her vehicle, the chances that an attorney would pursue this claim against her are almost 0%. Secondly, even if an attorney did pursue this claim, and your only asset is a joint home titled in your names together, that asset cannot be... Read more »

No. The renter's insurance company. The renter should have insurance covering the rental car. You should look to that direction.

Perhaps. You should read the policy to see if it excludes losses of this nature. But, in any case, I suspect that the insurance company will want more than your word. Do you have any other way of proving the claimed loss of your wallet?

Your plan has serious flaws in it, not the least of which is a possible legal claim from the dealer seeking the remaining monthly payments that you agreed to pay at the beginning of the lease.

Whoever told you that you can just return a badly damaged leased car to whoever leased it to you... Read more »

If your spouse negligently entrusted you with the vehicle (if, for example there were no insurance), your spouse might be sued. If they were to recover a judgment, they could, in theory, levy upon your spouse's premarital property (as well as marital property).

I don't know what you mean by "a motionless enormo", but if you agree to a dismissal with prejudice, it means that you cannot sue again for the same injury. The release has the same effect. Ask your attorney to explain it to you.

You can consult with and retain an attorney who deals with insurance claims. The attorney should be able to do this on a contingency basis, which means you don't pay the attorney up front, but if you recover additional money, the attorney receives a portion of that.

If you have car insurance, it should defend you against the claim being made against you. If you believe you may have a claim against the other party (say you have injuries, car damages, lost wages, etc), then, just as the other party has done, you'd hire your own attorney. Unless you plan on... Read more »

The repair shop most likely has liability insurance. Request their insurance company information to set up an insurance claim. If insured, that will likely resolve your issue, but if they don't offer enough money to settle it, you may sue the repair business, and their insurance will cover... Read more »

Contact his insurance company and demand that it repair or replace your car.

Be ready to negotiate settlement with the other car's driver; you are probably liable for letting your boyfriend drive the car. And start saving for another car. Next time, please don't have a car without insurance.
