Good question. Your case sounds like a workers comp claim against your employer, if in fact you are an employee and not an independent contractor. Some employers try and avoid responsibility by hiring independent contractors.

If I understand your question correctly, you do not have insurance and you are being sued for an accident.

If you do not have insurance, then your only recourse is to hire an attorney to defend the case. If you did have insurance, then the insurance company would have defended the case.

If a friend is riding with you and you cause an accident you are liable. Florida Law holds the owner of the vehicle that causes an accident liable and well as the driver of the vehicle.

The best of precautions can come up short as you cannot control how other people drive. If someone else... View More

Generally speaking the insurance of the vehicle owner and also the insurance of the vehicle driver are liable. I suggest that you obtain the insurance of both and then contact your insurance to report the incident. Which insurance will ultimately end up paying to fix the damages will depend upon... View More

There is not enough information here to give advice upon it. I suggest that you speak with an attorney in your area for a consultation so that the attorney can have you answer questions and then hopefully he or she can give you the advice that you will need

No. You can bring suit if you have an injury or damages to your car. Most likely if you only have damages to your car your insurance and the auto insurance of the government employee will handle the repairs out of court.

Yes. If the amount of damages are less than $5,0000.00. You will need to be able to prove that the other person did the damages and you will need the testimony of a body shop person to prove up the amount of damages.

The simple answer is no. Under Florida law the driver of the vehicle is liable for damages caused and also the owner of the vehicle is also liable.

No. I believe that in Florida it is a comparative negligence state--if you are 20% at fault you get your damages reduced by 20%. The other persons insurance will always say its 60%. You need to talk to a member of the Florida Justice Assn--they give free consults.

I believe that your lawyer told you correctly. Auto accidents can be devastating financially as well as physically. It can be very difficult to get through them when you are not able to work. There is not any type of program to assist you during such a difficult time.

Find out the process to contest the lien. Makes sense to get a copy of your record so that if an attorney is needed you aren't paying for them to do the basic legwork.

Ultimately it is your responsibility to obtain collision coverage.

I'm assuming he's at fault. If he had insurance run it through the insurance. If he didn't he should consult an attorney--if he pays the insurance company for the other driver then he should get a release and needs a professional to instruct himon that, if he needs to, how he plans... View More

As careless driving in most states is a point violation, I suggest you consult a lawyer who handles citations before that court, to see what your options are (for instance pleading guilty to the no permit and some non-point violation, even if it didn't happen [for instance no valid inspection).

Should be. Note when policy expires.get a payment in asap.

Personal injury cases do take some time. I tell my clients that we like to get cases resolved, if possible, within 12 months. Some settle sooner than that and some take a long time. For example, if the insurance company does not offer a reasonable settlement, we file a lawsuit for our client and... View More
