A Nevada attorney could advise best, but your question remains open for a week. Only your attorney would know the reason for the delay in getting a check to you. One possibility is that there might be medical or other liens - most law firms try to negotiate liens at the conclusion of a case, and... View More

Of course, more facts would be needed, but it could be either or both the person giving the all clear signal and the driver who received the signal. It could also be, in whole or in part, your fault. More facts are needed as to who could see what. Statements, measurements, police report, witnesses... View More

As you settled the case you can brain nothing further. Your wage loss could have been submitted as part of your losses.

The defendant's insurance company has agreed to repair my vehicle, however, are not willing to provide a free rental vehicle equivalent to that being repaired.
answered on Feb 24, 2021
The law in most states only requires that they give you A rental vehicle. You lost a Lamorghini--they can get you a toyota corolla. The only time I've gotten exceptions are where the vehicle was particular to that person's business or health-- a vehicle that could accomodate a wheelchair,... View More
I was rear ended as a passenger at a traffic light. I now have major back problems. There were 3 others in the vehicle but it appears I was injured the worse.

A Nevada attorney could advise best, but your question remains open for a week. It's difficult for an attorney to advise on a file site unseen, and in particular, one where the claimant is already represented.

I was searching for liens against me on the Courts record and State Farm had a lien placed on me 20 years ago. Does this drop off after a certain period of time?. I’ve never been taken to court on it and it doesn’t show on my credit reports
answered on Apr 23, 2020
Generally, in most states a judgment needs to be renewed every 6 years or so. First, you need to look at the law for that state. Then you can either ignore the lien, or file a case to have the lien "extinguished." I'd start by talking to the administrator of wherever the lien was... View More
What are the laws relating to minors driving w/o permission, causing an accident, with over $40k in medical bills?
answered on Nov 6, 2019
You should get advice--and the services--of an attorney with the Nevada Trial Lawyers Assn in the county where the wreck happened--they give free consults. I'm assuming it's their fault--if its your fault, the fact that he wasn't licensed etc doesn't mean you collect if... View More
would I be committing perjury if I got the date wrong?
answered on Sep 11, 2019
If you say that was the date and knew it was not that's one thing. If you say "on or about" that's another. If you get the year wrong then maybe use different words. Or you could actually have an attorney's in person advice. Not sure why you are doing this for a 30 year old... View More

The other person was at fault and the insurance has admitted they’re at fault
I have gap insurance but I’ll be left without a car
answered on Jul 11, 2019
What you do is that you thank yourself for having gap. If you were hurt in the wreck you have an injury claim and should pursue it--contact a member of the Nv. Assn for Justice in the county where it happened--they give free consults.
My wife was in a No Injury accident a week ago. My wife had a solid green arrow and was turning into her work shopping center and the defendant ran the red light and t-boned her car.

Is there a police report? If so what did the cop say? Was the other driver cited? File a complaint with the insurance commissioner in your state. This is a bogus ploy that insurance companies like to pull out and it needs legislative action.
