Your current state is Virginia
An Ohio attorney is best qualified to answer your question, but you await a response for four weeks. As a GENERAL premise, absent any statutory requirements, it would probably be a reasonable time. The underlying principle is that a party against whom a claim is made should have opportunity to... Read more »
I have a 5-year-old medical bill in collections from a previous injury that is in close proximation [on my body] (but not exact) to this auto injury I just had. Will this show up somehow and affect a possible case? It was in another state that I don't have a policy in or residency in.
Good question. Your issue is a common one in most personal injury cases. A reputable injury attorney knows how to deal with this.
You are only entitled to make a claim for the injury that was "caused" by the wreck in question. Whether that means a completely new injury or... Read more »
Yes, you can change your name without getting married. However, you should consult with a Family Law attorney to get the best advice before making any decisions. Good luck!
I was given a ticket for impeding traffic. I did hit the back left side panel of her car.
Michigan is a No-Fault state. This means that all drivers are required to purchase insurance on their vehicles and that if there is an accident, regardless of who is at fault, each driver's insurance pays to cover their own medical bills, lost wages and damage to their own vehicle. The... Read more »
My fiancee was involved in a car accident while he was on his parents policy. One person did not settle and is now sueing. Can my assets be brought into the lawsuit once we get married in November 2020?
A party's assets are not an issue in such a lawsuit unless and until a money judgment is entered against the party, and then it's an issue only if there is no or too little insurance coverage to protect the party - for example, if a judgment for $50K is entered against the defendant, who...

On January 1, 2018 I got pulled over for my license plate light being out... but ended up with a no insurance ticket and an impounded car. I was 16 when this happened and my mom was paying the insurance. (I’m 19 now) The officer said the insurance was expired, but I have proof I had insurance on... Read more »
Without knowing all of your facts, it sounds like the court revoked your plea in abeyance. If you are still going to court I would ask the prosecutor what the status of your plea in abeyance is. See if the court would be willing to reinstate it (it is a long shot given how old the ticket is). But... Read more »
Where would i make the claim? The insurance was purchased online along with travel package through groupon
You won't be able to make the claim in small claims court in NY. The Defendant must reside, work or have a business address within the five western towns of Suffolk County. You'd have to bring the claim in county court, which will be considerably more expensive and may be cost... Read more »
I sold the vehicle, I had them sign their name and everything necessary on the pink slip, as well as my signature to release it, but forgot to remove and take the release of liability. The person has caused damages worth 20k yet I am liable. I have records of the conversation leading up to the... Read more »
Although insurance follows a vehicle, the driver is typically the person who is "responsible" and will be the named defendant in any lawsuit. Said another way, unless there are independent allegations against you (like you sold a defective vehicle etc...) you shouldn't be a party to... Read more »
Consider consulting with a personal injury attorney—with a confidential consultation. Many times personal injury attorneys will take cases on contingency where the client will not have to pay anything until money is recovered, part of the recovery goes to the attorney and part of the recovery...

A Rhode Island attorney could best advise, but your post remains open for two weeks. Until you are able to consult with a local attorney, as a general premise, if you are talking about a purely civil matter, that distinction could be one that the insurance carrier and the claimant, or their...

you asked this twice. Check the answer I and others gave. This looks like an identical post.

First, the collection agency is collecting a debt. They are not the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) and have no power to suspend your driving privilege. Second, you mentioned "grace" period. Did your insurance company deny coverage for this accident even though you just bought the car?... Read more »

It is unclear whether you have actually been charged with a crime, or whether the insurance company holding the annuity account is simply dishonoring the checks written by the owner of the account. Ideally, the account owner can clear this up by confirming the signatures on the checks is... Read more »
My policy only has liability/uninused motorist/PIP not collision and comphrehensive. Am I responsible if someone hits me?
if you don't have collision on your own auto policy and someone hits the rental car and damages it, the dealer's insurance company will pay to repair the car.
could you go to court alone if you are turning 18 before the court date ?
There are so many variables in this it’s hard to answer. The case will be handled in the juvenile courts. There certainly will be some very stiff punishments and more so if someone was injured. There will a significant license suspension of at least a year. Likely to be charged with multiple... Read more »

Both types of insurance are important. The scope of coverage would depend on how the policies are written. There are general liability policies that cover bodily injury as a given. In the policies you are exploring, bodily injury coverage appears to be an add-on. These terms are sometimes used... Read more »
The boat owner gave it to his son, who ended up getting insurance for the boat. The title for the boat was never changed.
Potentially, since the title never changed. An attorney will need to review the policy and do a coverage analysis.
It's difficult to say, based on these facts alone. It could depend on the provisions of the health care plan, whether you were working under a contract that addressed such benefits, whether Georgia law provides for options for employees to continue their health care coverage, and other...

still have the title until I completely pay the bankruptcy off, but I have been recently in a minor accident and the insurance company wont pay me unless I have a lienholder release form. Will I be able to get that since the car is paid off eventhough the bankruptcy isnt?
You should be able to, yes. Consult the trustee on your case and tell him what has happened.
does the rider have value since Sears court ruling was a judgement?
