Sometimes there are delays in negotiating insurance liens on your settlement recovery. Sometimes, someone went on vacation, or the papers are just sitting there on someone's desk. Putting your inquiry in writing in the form of a certified letter probably wouldn't hurt.

You would have to see a lawyer to determine whether you can sue the other party for lost wages. Employment laws vary from state to state. I think you'd have a tough time proving that you lost income as an independent contractor. W2 employee income is known and predictable, but yours isn't... View More

I was reared while drive 65 mph on a highway by an uninsured motorist
answered on Aug 31, 2023
Yes. You may have trouble collecting any judgment if you don’t have uninsured motorists coverage.
I live in Pennsylvania and my car was parked at my apartment complex. An intoxicated person hit it while parked. I was literally hundreds of miles away from the car and was obviously not driving. Will that still affect my driving record. Again, I was nowhere near the vehicle when it happened.
