If there is one in affect? And why would it be affective in oregon financially
answered on Nov 19, 2022
An Oregon attorney could advise best, but your question remains open for four weeks. Nationwide, jurisdictions do toll statutes of limitations under certain circumstances, but it looks like twenty-nine years have elapsed here. That's a long time under the most liberal of civil procedure... Read more »
My car was parked and a patient backed into it and drove off. There were many witnesses who confirmed it was a patient at my job but due to hipaa, my job says I can not press any charges to help pay for repairs on my vehicle. Insurance says if we know who did it, we would not have to pay any fees... Read more »

I do not how HIPAA would affect your ability to pursue a hit and run case against the patient. Driving a motor vehcile in the parking is wholly unrelated to treatment and medical charts. I think your employer is wrong, if, in fact, that is what they are alleging. The act of striking a vechicle is... Read more »
The bill was typed by him and not from a shop. I've asked him to turn it in to insurance but he won't. He's now threatening to sue me. I will happily pay the deductible but can't pay the 13k he wants in cash. What are my options? I was actually a volunteer employee at an event... Read more »

First, I am very sorry about your accident. Second, I am glad that you did not say you were injured in the acccident.

Your roommate as a duty to give you a copy of her driver's license and insurance. If she refuses to do so, I would make a non-emergency police report, DMV report and also let your insurance know if you have full coverage. They can pay for the damage and then they can collect from her... Read more »
We have been racking up rental car fees while our car has been in the shop for several months (No rental coverage and repair shops are very backed up/short handed right now).

You could file against the at-fault driver. However, the at-fault driver may be judgment proof. Hopefully, you have full coverage insurance to cover your property damage. It is my understanding that approximately 1 in 5 drivers drives without insurance, which is why you need adequate... Read more »

You must have a basis to sue your insurance company. You cannot sue your car company merely for asking for documentation to support a claim you are making. To answer this question, more context is needed. What is the underlying claim you are making that would entitle you to insurance coverage?... Read more »

This answer cannot be answered without fully reviewing your insurance policy. That said, most insurance policies require that you have someone on the policy if that person lives with you and drives the car. If you had reported it stolen before it got in an accident, I think you would have been... Read more »

An Oregon attorney could advise best, but your post remains open for two weeks. I'm sorry this happened to you.

If you and the at-fault driver are residents of Oregon, then you have the option of filing suit in Oregon or Idaho.

Most attorneys take on cases such as yours as contingency, so you usually do not pay anything unless the attorney gets you something. However, an attorney would need to review your case to know if you have a strong enough case to take it, as here you indicate there is a dispute as to liability. Use... Read more »

There are a ton of questions that are left unanswered about your situation. However, you probably know that tow trucks do not operate for free, in fact, from from it. Tows from an accident can be expensive. In most cases, the party who is at-fault is going to be ultimately responsible for paying... Read more »

I am so sorry to hear that you were involved in an automobile accident. You mentioned, "we", so I hope everyone is alright. It is even worse when you get blamed and cited for an accident. First, I can understand the frustration. You must set aside your feeling of being "wronged"... Read more »
base on the fact it is an infraction, will the courts dismiss this if challenged
answered on Jul 7, 2021
Absolutely! The fact that you can challenge something does not mean you will win. However, if the cop did not witness the infraction, the state would need to produce the witness that saw the infraction to avoid a hearsay objection.
It is important to object to evidence that does not... Read more »

Yes. You can sue. The fact you can sue does not mean you have strong case. It sounds like there might be some conflicting evidence that needs to be sorted out. The fact you were hit on the passenger's side door might indicate that you were not at-fault because clearly your car was struck.... Read more »
His mirror broke off on my hip and threw me off my bike. He or she didnt stop. I went to the hospital but nothing was broken. Just severely bruised.
answered on Mar 1, 2021
Assuming the driver of the vehicle that hit you was at-fault for the accident, you can sue if you find the person within the statute of limitations with enough time to get a lawsuit filed. If the incident happened in Oregon, your case must be filed or settled within 2 years.

It seems odd that they would not want to receive compensation for the vet bill, since you stated you are willing to pay. The next step would be to draft a letter with supporting documentation enclosed of ownership and offering to pay the vet bill and demanding the return of the dog. If that... Read more »

Whether a driver has insurance or a license doesn't matter as to fault. If you can prove he was speeding you would likely get some comparative fault on the motorcyclist.
But the place we where at didn’t have a stop sign and I had my 4 month old in the car and my back hurts really bad

I am very sorry this happened to you. Especially this time of the year, with COVID-19 impacting much of our lives. I am going to assume that you were not at-fault in this accident.

The hearing for the ticket will be important, as the judge will be determining weather or not you were at fault... Read more »
