It was a hit and run in my vehicle however I was at work during the time it happened. the person who was borrowing my car told me it was stolen and then proceeded to tell me months later it was actually a hit and run. What can I do ?
Get a lawyer. Get proof that someone else was driving. Get proof that you were somewhere else at the time of the accident. Have a trial and present the evidence.
I hope this helps.
This is a legal malpractice question. There is a separate section for that.

You might want to discuss this with a Georgia attorney, but your question remains open for three weeks. If the person was to do anything, they could bring a claim or file suit. Unless there was something criminal involved, they wouldn't normally press charges. A Georgia attorney could discuss the... Read more »
The car that did not have lights on was a black car therefor the other car didn’t see it.
A Georgia attorney could answer in the best manner, but your question remains open for three weeks. As a general matter, without regard to state-specific elements of law, claim representatives in similar situations could amicably agree to apportion damages between the two policies. This is often...

I dont want any points or no fines or reduce fines. the other car had on the turning signal like they were going into the gas station that i was coming out . Then they hit my car.
Much will depend on who was where. Even with a turn signal, they have the right of way until they turn. You guessed--it's not the greatest argument. You can plead not guilty and give it a shot.....
How can i fight this? She was speeding because my airbags exploded.
Sounds like you were not at fault. So......what do you want to fight. If you were injured, and were not at fault, contact a member of the Ga. Trial Lawyers Assn in the County where the wreck happened. They give free consults.
I got into a car accident which was my fault and then received the citation
It depends on if the citation was the result of a car wreck. If another vehicle was involved many times the court will require you to appear in court and address restitution. However, if it is just a citation for improper left turn, then you will be allowed to merely pay the fine in lieu of... Read more »

First, if the case is in court as you have seen he has to have permission of the Court. You may object. Second, does the lien include the physician amounts? The attorney can ask for a lien but a court may limit it to a) a percentage under the contract of what he got them to provide, or the worth of... Read more »

Vehicle left at scene to retrieve later. No claim to insurance . No injuries
You can't lie about it. So be careful what you say to the insurance company and if you are still making payments to the lender. However, I would still consult an attorney with more information to make sure you are good.

No, but leaving the scene could be a problem. I would turn the damage over to your insurance if you did the damage, make sure the person is paid, pay a fine if it it's not for leaving the scene. If it is please get yourself an attorney who handles traffic court. Leaving the scene is a serious... Read more »
If you were hurt contact a member of the Ga. Trial lawyers Assn.
You should turn any claim the car in front makes to your insurance even though you are not at fault.
The car behind is responsible. Don't worry about code sections. Worry about your taking care of the fallout.
Sure. The statute of limitations is well over that. The 30 days is the time within which companies have to resolve property damage claims if their insured is at fault.
However, if you were hurt in the collision, you should consult a member of the Ga. Trial Lawyers Assn--they give free... Read more »

Get another attorney. The old attorney breached the contract so you should get some money back. Don't move without an attorney But especially considering her criminal history you never want to chance it. I pray this helps.
Hey we would need more information. Call a Criminal Defense Attorney or a Personal Injury attorney and they can review the police report and tell you what your options are. I pray this helps.

Make a copy of the letter, give it to your car insurance.
First, you are not responsible if a dog is running free. Get a copy of the borough code section and send a copy to your insurance company.
Do not speak further with the lawyer or the person.
Do not discuss this on... Read more »
