Turn it over to your insurance. If you had no insurance you need to enter an appearance otherwise you get another default.
You respond that you don't owe anything because it is "collateral estoppel" and "statute of limitations."

I have no idea what you are talking about. Someone loaned you a car, there was no insurance, and you were involved in an accident? If the accident resulted from your negligence, of course you are liable for the damage to the car.
I was in a car accident recently in the middle of an intersection (under 5 mph thankfully) and at the time I was unaware of having to stay there so I moved to a nearby parking lot to avoid further danger. I immediately called the police but the other driver didn't follow me. If they file a... View More

If the other driver didn't follow you into the parking lot (where, I assume, the police met up with you), it is doubtful that police officers interviewed the other driver.
If they didn't, it doesn't seem that there would be another police report.
If they did, yes,... View More

This is a common problem for pizza delivery drivers. When insurance is purchased by the vehicle owner, there is a question that is always asked. Are you using the vehicle for personal or business uses? If you answer business uses, then your premiums will be higher in the form of a commercial... View More

You can get a copy of the fire rescue report and the police report. It may be a few days before the reports are available. You can also contact a personal injury attorney for further guidance. Hopefully, the driver had insurance and the police report is favorable to your point of view / version... View More

You can contact a civil trial attorney, a debtor / creditor attorney, collections attorney, or bankruptcy attorney on a matter of this nature. Good luck.
I live in Florida. The law firm I tried to hire said the driver had no liability insurance and will drop us. They said to try small claims court. We are being treated for back and body injuries- nothing major. We feel like the other driver is getting off scott free because he decided not to... View More

In Florida, a permanent injury is required to be entitled to pain and suffering related damages. You have a legal case to pursue; however, without insurance, it may be challenging down the line to collect anything from the at fault driver or at fault owner. It is unfortunate that the other driver... View More
I was involved in an accident that was considered my fault. I thought I had full coverage insurance. but unfortunately I do not. Seems like everything was covered, besides bodily injury liability. Which from my understanding, my insurance company would not cover the other driver's medical... View More

If the driver decides to sue you for the personal injuries, you can defend yourself OR hire a private attorney to represent your interest. Since you did not have Bodily Injury insurance, the injured person and his or her attorney may not bother filing a lawsuit against you. It will all depend on... View More

I am assuming this is because the claim was more than the limit, so they are coming after me for the difference, which is $25,000. I was called by their attorneys, and when I told them that I couldn't afford to pay that amount (even with only 10% down, the $150 a month) the rep kept saying... View More

.... was there a trial? If there was no trial you don't owe anything yet. If your insurance paid out I would be shocked if a signed release of all claims wasn't part of the payout arraignment. Call an attorney to discuss you situation in a bit more detail.

One of the big reasons that you have auto insurance is to defend you against suits like this.
Had car accident in 1988. Been dealing with NJPLIGA since Allstate dropped me into their hands. It's been a nightmare. How can I stop this?

You simply have not given enough facts here for any sort of answer. Go have a full discussion with a local attorney about this.
I was recently in a car accident (rear end collision) where we were stopped at a light and this car rear ended me which caused me to bump into another car that was in front of me. At the end of it all, the police stated that the car that hit me was at fault of the accident and they gave him a... View More

No, you should not speak directly to the insurance company, your lawyer should do all the speaking for you. At this point both applicable policies are looking for a reason to not pay you. You should seek medical attention immediately and content a lawyer after. These types of cases are handled... View More
Accident has significantly further aggravated a previous neck and back injury, and I had to leave my job less than two months after it because I did not qualify for MLA. They have $150,000.00 on liability, and what is a reasonable amount to ask them to settle the case for with me?

Hopefully you got their insurance information. If so, make a claim with their insurance company.
A week ago, I was in a left turn lane heading southbound and slowing down to a red light, when a car tried coming out of a gas station and t-boned me. Long story short, I called their insurance two days later and filed a claim. They did the same. I spoke to the adjuster today, and he said the other... View More
