In late 2017, another driver ran into my car. This same driver asked me not to call the police and because she appeared to be quite nice; I foolishly agreed not to call the authorities. We exchanged information that day and before I could get home, the other driver had called both her and my... View More

I was not using my phone at the time of the incident.

Basically they are saying the accident was caused by your not driving in a way to avoid it when you could have. Depending on points you may want to consult an attorney who handles tickets in the county where the ticket will be heard.

Why not take workers comp? Here's the problem--under many state's rules the other person isn't repsonsible for bills that should be covered by your insurance or insurance you can get by application such as workers comp. You need to sit down in person for an explanation.

You can but there often are no documents, and often the "offer" is a vague "we're looking at it as a $3000 max case" which isn't technically an offer but is an invitation for your side to settle in that range, for instance.
Why would the the wrecker tow the vehicle to the man's yard instead of inpounding the vehicle. Why did the police wait 9 hour before notifying my mother in law. And how on earth does a person charged with dui and homicide by vehicle get only a $1500 bond

What is the Department of Driver Services telling you about reinstating your license? They know that better than anyone.
They gave my husband no medical attention.

Why? He fled. They chased. He flipped. They may ask husband to pay--insurance may not cover. Suggest husband get advice of atty before speaking to police or insurance!

The owner. The bank doesn't care about who wrecked the car. The owner may want to sue the parents of the child who wrecked it for negligence, but be careful throwing stones in glass houses. The owner, whose child allegedly stole the car, may have some liability as well.
If we do that, we lose our $1,000,000 umbrella coverage. If we then have an at fault accident and someone dies, and they sue us, can they take our house and IRA investments?

Unlikely but that's why you have insurance--to minimize risk. However look first at the policy. Would reducing it make that big a difference? Per month? I ask because the biggest hit is for zero to 25.
Do I have a case in this situation? I had new wheels put on my car in June. The front left wheel was making a funny noise last week so I got it fixed by the same company. They told me to come back 3 days later to get the other wheels checked and replace parts just to make sure I was safe on the... View More

You can only collect for what your damages are whatever you call the case. If a wheel fell off & they fix it, that fixes your damages. If you have other issues contact a member of the Ga. Trial Lawyers Assn--they give free consults.
I was involved in an auto accident on the 15th of Jan. The driver in front of me came to a sudden halt which caused me to brake & clip her bumper, then a moment later the guy behind me smashes into my rear. The police report states that Im at fault. I was uninsured at the time. I filled a claim... View More

Assuming you were hurt, contact a member of the Ga. Trial Lawyers Assn--they give free consults.
You have a claim against Driver 3; your having come to a stop after hitting the car in front doesn't give them a right to smash into you.
You can't get them to pay for the front end damage.
My wife and two daughters were involved in a auto accident on 12/16/2017. The other driver was cited for the accident. The cited driver's insurance company determined our vehicle to be a total loss. An ACV settlement offer was made which I rejected because in my opinion it was too low. I... View More

Contact them and find out from someone what is going on. I'm assuming their offer is in writing or by email.
Often collision damage is done as a "team" and that means sometimes things get pushed around. Someone should be able to look at the computer screen which will show... View More

I was told the mention of insurance declared a mis-trail. I believe the jury awarding me 1345.00 out of 12k played a part in the decision. I did not understand why a mistrial was not declared. The defense attorney was representing Progressive Insurance and it was never discussed and I this created... View More
answered on Jan 16, 2018
Your attorney should be discussing the appeal issues with you. If there was a healthcare lien then that would have been something the jury should consider. Juries may consider that if you didn't pay the total amount of the bills that someone else did so that's not a mistrial. I disagree... View More
I hit some black ice and crashed into a guardrail, totaling my car. When the police officer ran my license plate, he told me that my registration expired in August 2017 and gave me a ticket (The date of the ticket was Dec 9th, 2017). I only realized what happened when I found the license plate that... View More

Get estimates. Ask the DA's office to make restitution part of any resolution--but dont' expect to see the money soon. If your state has a crime victims compensation act make a claim.
