I hit a small, but SUPER deep pothole on a sharp corner where it was unavoidable and got a flat tire due to hitting it. Can I get the city to pay for the tire or sue for the money?
If you can provide that the pothole was unreasonably dangerous and/or defective to a reasonable prudent person, and that the custodian of the pothole knew and or should have known of this condition, then yes. Among the first things you should do is either consult an attorney to represent you on... Read more »
Vehicle accident was cited for careless operation and explication for citation could not be given by the officer even after he “investigated” it was simply told “ cause I will get in trouble if I don’t” what are my chances of fighting
Hire a traffic court lawyer. Your insurance company will provide a defense in a civil suit.
Alleged truck involved in a pedestrian hit and run resulting in death was towed to the Louisiana State Crime Lab and processed.

I tried to exit to let the storm pass, and was only doing about 50 on the highway as traffic was moving slow in the storm. As soon as I normally applied the brakes the back end hydroplaned and I laid down in the exit. No other vehicles involved. My bike was not damaged . Someone called 911,... Read more »

He lied and she had a license. Gave statement saying he was dishonest. Will my insurance pay for damages to private property (gate) and my car? I have full coverage
A Louisiana attorney could advise best, but your question remains open for four weeks. For your car, a full coverage plan should cover that - check with your policy declaration sheet or with your agent to be certain. For the storage facility/gate damages, that could depend on the scope of your... Read more »

Pay it by check in full. Note on the check that it is payment in full and send it with a cover letter that you need a Release. Then get insurance.
Ins is working on settling but so far he is not accepting. If he decides to sue us, we are worried about some money my husband just inherited. Is there a way to avoid them getting it by putting it in someone elses account?

Third, he can donate the... Read more »
A Louisiana attorney could answer best, but your question remains open for three weeks.

A Louisiana attorney could advise best, but your post remains open for a week.

My son was killed in a car wreck. The state troopers requested a toxicology test done. Do I need a lawyer to request a copy of the report?
If you are next of kin, the Coroner's Office should be able tonsupplynulyou with a copy
No injuries reported and the other vehicle was unattended.
No you can't receive a ticket for an accident on private property. But you can be sued for property damage.

I was parked at an apartment complex and a tree from their property fell on my car. The owner of the duplex next door said he saw it leaning and had told the leasing agency of the apartments that it was dangerous and needed to be cut.
Absolutely. The property owner is 100% liable for the damage caused by trees on the owner's property
A Louisiana attorney would know this best, but your post remains open for four weeks. As a general abbreviation across the nation, TVB could mean Traffic Violations Bureau. 'Not sure about DLF. Good luck
