Your question begs the question of why you are asking. It may be legal, or it may not, depending on the circumstances.
answered on Oct 27, 2019
I’m sorry to hear you are having to deal with this. Yes, you can file a Complaint in small claims (county) court. However, if you have auto insurance which includes collision coverage, you could make a claim through your own auto insurance policy to fix the car and they would then go after your... View More
An older man tried to go around me I was already 4 ft out of the parking spot and he tried to squeeze around me and hit my rear end and I get a ticket can this be fought and won?
The affidavit is requiring me to give my personal details like my financial records, bank statements etc and I am scared to sign it. Will it give me a problem if I refuse to sign?
answered on Oct 14, 2019
Your insurance carrier has likely assigned an attorney to your defense. It would be advisable to have an attorney review anything that the other side is asking you to sign. Good luck

I currently have a subrogation out against me. When the accident happened I was using my company’s insurance And now they don’t want to pay for.
answered on Oct 4, 2019
I assume you mean, "How can a defend myself in a subrogation lawsuit that's been filed against me?" The answer is that you first consult, in person, an attorney who handles accident defense. You probably will have to pay a reasonable consultation fee. The attorney will go over... View More
I have on going lawsuit and proceeding pro sa and my ex lawyer filed that and u was wondering if I can take that back

You can try but it won’t be easy- depends why it was dismissed and why you are seeking to amend .
As 90.803 is stated: to the contrary notwithstanding, the following are not inadmissible as evidence, even though the declarant is available as a witness.
Do that mean Spontaneous Statement IS admissible in court because of the weird wording "not inadmissible."

Yes, it's a double negative, but it means what it says: in other words spontaneous statements ARE admissible even if they are hearsay. Also note subsection (18), admissions (your statement made to someone else).
The officer can probably testify as to your admission that you failed to... View More
Ive never once used the car and I don’t have the money to take it out, nor do I want to pay for that. I heard there’s a possibility of I acquiring a lien on my license. What can I do to get out of this
answered on Sep 15, 2019
If and when they try to suspend your license (a lien on a license doesn't make any sense), present them with evidence to show that the car was registered without your permission.

If a Florida accident and insurance policy, then your PIP does not get reimbursed (unless you had a deductible which wasn't paid) but Medical Payments (also known as MedPay) does get reimbursed unless waived.
If your policy was issued in another State, then different law and policy... View More
Lets say I have been seizure free for 6 months and get back into driving. If I were to have an accident after legally being allowed to drive due to a seizure would I still be a fault if I were to kill a pedestrian or another driver? What if it was because of a seizure that slipped through even... View More
answered on Aug 27, 2019
There are two different standards of fault in your scenario, criminal and civil. With civil (potentially triggering a lawsuit against you), your prior health history is basically irrelevant. If you cause an accident because a seizure causes you to drive in a careless manner, you are civilly at... View More
Grandfather insurance being charged for medical expense for accident of third persons vehicle who didn't have medical. Persons involved is not on his insurance policy but one person listed his address on license. But does not legally live at that address
answered on Aug 24, 2019
perhaps that person is claiming they are a resident relative?
Notify the insurance
Second, if grandfather not at fault his rates should not be affected by medical claims
If his care wasn't involved I don't see why the insurance would pay. Grandfather should call them.

Them stopping illegally caused me to wreck into the car infront of me. They didn’t want to call police, only exchange information. Should I file police report? I have it all on video.

My name and now i owe the irs as a result of they actions. Will the irs take my lawsuit until this is straightened out or will i get my money?
answered on Apr 30, 2019
This is a very important question. You really need to hire a competent lawyer to advise you. Try using the lawyer you used to get the settlement; he will want his share first.

You question is not sufficiently clear because you don't say what the Court ruled in its order or how the order affects you personally.
Been in a car accident with my two children. At fault party didn’t have bodily injury injury coverage.
answered on Apr 5, 2019
Do you happen to have uninsured motorist coverage? You could engage in a small claims matter depending upon the value of the claim. However depending upon the particular defendants even if you receive a judgment it may be very challenging to collect on that judgment.
The individual did not have bodily injury coverage and I understand the reason attorneys not willing to take the case because of this. However, I have medical bills and car loss value I would like to claim. I understand Florida law of not being able to garnish wages, apply liens to assets, and/or... View More

I'm sorry to hear about your situation. We often encounter cases where there's no insurance on the other side. Do you by any chance have UIM coverage? That may be another way to approach this. Please feel free to email me directly. Thank you.
