It depends. Determining where a case must be brought, can be brought, and who can practice in front of those courts is a question of law. Therefore, you need to talk to an attorney, maybe in both states.
That being said, here are a few comments to aid in your search for an attorney.... View More
I was in the right of way and the other party was determined at-fault and ticketed by the police. I was injured and accrued hospital bills $$$ and my car was totaled. The other party's insurance co. insists that they are only 80% liable and hold that I should be liable for 20% of the damages... View More

A Colorado attorney could advise best, but your question remains open for two weeks. As a general rule nationwide, clients can dismiss an attorney (and vice versa, for the most part.) It's possible (subject to a state's rules) that an outgoing attorney could assert a lien on the case for... View More
Recently my lawyer got a settlement offer from the other insurance. 1/3 goes to him as we agreed on. And he also said that he will have to pay on my behalf 1/3 in medical bills for all of the visits I went with his network of providers. I thought that the amount was very high and asked him to...

You cannot tell who caused the crash by the extent of the property damage. And you cannot tell fault by what you describe. The question is who should have seen the other. It may have been your fault. Your insurance company will sort it out.

I am sorry you are dealing with this. You should keep a record of the harassment, talk to the landlord, file a complaint with the housing authority, or consult with an attorney.

While there is likely more to this story if there was no authorization and the operation was performed on the wrong person then it can be a major problem. You need to contact a personal injury attorney to discuss this. Words such as assault, battery, and gross negligence come to mind.

The answer is probably no. But you should consult with a lawyer about this. Lawyers who represent people who are hurt in car crashes should try to locate all available insurance.
