Insurance is required to pay market value. If it was totaled then they pay what you paid. If you were hurt, call a member of the Ga Trial Lawyers Assn--they give free consults.

I believe it's two years. Why not contact a member of the Ga Trial Lawyers Assn in the county where the wreck happened? They give free consults.
I was involved in a wreck (car pileup) in a county 4 hours away from my home (both counties in GA). My insurance had expired a week or so prior. My car was totaled in the wreck. I was not placed at fault. I received a ticket for no insurance. I am required to appear in court next month. What should... View More

Your best option is to retain a lawyer to help you. I don't think its in your best interest to negotiate on your own. Secondly, you can just have your own insurance company pay the damage and they will subrogate or go after the other driver if your car is totaled and you need the funds to... View More
She is 18. It was raining. She plans to take a driving defensive class before court date. Trying to see if it is worth getting a lawyer. What type of fines would we be looking at points etc.
answered on Mar 18, 2019
Depends entirely what her ticket was. If it's only a failure to obey traffic signal it's 3 points which may be worth her getting a lawyer--look for someone who handles tickets in that county.

Sure. However there's a complicated thing called the state tort claims act so the best thing is to consult a member of the Ga. Trial Lawyers Assn in that county --they give free consults.
I rear ended the other driver after they unexpectedly slammed on breaks on the interstate in Georgia.

First,contact a member of the Ga Trial Lawyers Assn for the county where it happened.--they give free consults. Second, do not discuss this further on this page or any page, or facebook etc.
Yours is a very tough case----in part because while the other driver is careless if they came to a... View More

Accident is a defense to criminal charges but the attorney will need more information to see if that would be a viable defense in your particular case. Now the fact that it's your"exes" mailbox may pose a little bit of an issue (especilly if you don't live close by)

Assuming part of the settlement was a release generally no, though it depends who was released. Get a copy of the release, talk to the lawyer the insurance company paid to represent you.
His his "at fault" status is pending his appearance in Traffic Court. I gave the officers my Insurance Information and Driver License at the scene,but had a friend pick me up,due to the fact I was driving on a suspended License with a failure to appear. before the cops could question me....

Yes. You may have driving on suspended issues but he's still at fault. If his case is dismissed then you still have a claim though it may have less weight. If you were hurt consult a member of the Ga. Trial Lawyers Assn for the county where it happened--they give free consults.
I received the notice after the date of cancellation and was unable to reapply or file a written request for a review before policy was cancelled. The policy was canceled due to driving record and or claim history dating back to two accidents in 2016. Please tell me how I should go about this as I... View More

Save the envelopes! Many companies date the letters, but save the mail until they have enough for a cheap rate bulk mail. So it could have gone out days after the date on the letter. They are supposed to give you advance notice.
You want all records of your cancellation.
Notify them... View More

No way to give a simple answer, since all facts are unknown.
After being in a traffic accident I respectfully told the officer that I didn’t want to take breathalyzer because I am under doctor’s care and was afraid my med. Xanax would register. I only take it at night before bed. I was arrested after a field sobriety test. Then the officer took me to the... View More

Yes the fact that you were transported to the hospital indicates that you sustained serious injury. The fact that the accident was 9/18/18 is not too late for a hearing. However, i am concerned and you should also be concerned about being referred to Mental Health Court. However, you don't... View More

No way for any attorney who is unfamiliar with all the facts to second guess your lawyer's decision, who presumably knows all the facts.
answered on Nov 25, 2018
It is quite possible that the owner of the ATV could be held civilly responsible for permitting an unqualified driver to operate the vehicle which results in the injury to a passenger. It could constitute a criminal act of reckless conduct and there is also a charge for permitting an unlicensed... View More
I hit the Abandoned car from behind
answered on Nov 17, 2018
The person who left the car there and potentially municipality that knew it was there and failed to get it towed or impounded
because I wasn't wearing a seatbelt. Can they argue this?
answered on Nov 12, 2018
It is a matter of comparative fault. But, the extent will likely be a matter of medical opinion and potentially other expert opinions.
about everyone and told one of the driver's I'm sorry if he was hurt - now they say I admitted it was my fault b/c of that - can they do that?
answered on Nov 12, 2018
In the world of law and lawsuits, what you say or said may be taken as an admission that can be used in any case. However, other facts may point to what happened and who is at fault. Like in life, if you say something but other circumstances or facts put such statements into doubt as being... View More
