Yes. Contact the investigating officer and ask him to supplement his report. You can still make a claim but supplementation first is preferable.
Another teen rear ended this 16 year old while she was driving illegal and he has had to pay for everything because he rear ended her. A settlement is pending thru insurance even though there was no injury. My point is she should not have been on the road at all. Shouldn't it be her fault?... View More

The intermediate license is a minor traffic offense. The person who rear ended the other person is at fault, license or no license, dui or no dui, because that is the direct and proximate cause of the accident.
For injuries at.

The laws of the state where the crash occurred will control, and in most circumstances a court action would be initiated in that jurisdiction. An injury claim should first be filed with the at-fault party or parties insurance carriers. Multi-car crashes can be complicated. Do not speak with any... View More
The other driver provided insurance however when I called the insurance co the adjuster said that they probably would not pay. She would not give me a reason. A police report was filed.

Take a criminal complaint against both the owner and the driver in district court. You'll get paid a whole lot faster as restitution than you will as a judgment.
I’m out the $7,500 for down payment on new car also car payments went up added two more years on a loan and insurance went up none of this would have happened before the accident wondering if I’m entitled to get anything back
answered on Aug 28, 2018
No. The $7500 downpaymrnt and the higher monthly payments were voluntary on your part. You could have purchased a cheaper car and reduced these amounts. These issues are not a direct and proximate result of the accident.

Not if you have the semi truck drivers information. You were not operating your vehicle so you can sue the truck driver and his company if they do not pay your claim.

Yes, Kentucky is a comparative fault state. A jury will decide the level of fault for each party. A person can be assinged 1-100% of the fault. For example, if the jury determines the pedestrian was at fault at all, they could be assigned a percentage of fault. For example, jury finds $100,000... View More

No. You cannot pay the ticket and not appear in court. You can, however, hire an attorney to appear for you in that court and possibly resolve it without you coming to court.

The answer is more complicated than it may seem. If you accident is in KY, and you have not rejected the provisions of Kentucky's Motor Vehicle Reparations Act ("MVRA"), then you usually have two years from the crash or two years from the date of the last PIP payment under the MVRA.... View More

No, but you may run into problems of proving what happened. File a police report for starters. If you have collision let your company cover it and go after the dog owner.

answered on Jul 18, 2018
with the job loss a lot more would have to be known. Suggest you contact a member of the Ky. Assn for Justice for the county where the crash happened. They give free consults.

A woman backed into my daughter's parked car. When her insurance pays on the claim, do we have to fix the damage with that money, or can we pocket the money instead? The car is paid off and the damage is minor to the rear bumper.
Can I still file a claim against his insurance, even after a few months has past

It should, depending on the proof. You may want to consult a lawyer before your next move.

Hiring an attorney is the only way and fastest remedy you have bc they will continue taking your money otherwise.
i wasnt served until the court had already made the ruling and they served me on the actual wage garnishment....my employeer never even notified me. i was suprised when my check was nearly half
answered on May 26, 2018
If you weren’t ever served, you need to see a local attorney immediately bc the garnishment May be improper or illegal.
i tried for low income assistance even but my gross is what they count. the garnishment was set at 20000 dollars but i didnt even know about it til i was being garnished
answered on May 26, 2018
You may try to negotiate its the garnishee. At some point, you had to have been served with the complaint o thy couldn’t have gotten a judgment against you, which is a prerequisite for a garnishment. You may be eligible to file a chapter 7 or 13. Consult a local bankruptcy attorney who can... View More

No. You are entitled to payment for the damages to your vehicle but if there were no injuries, there is no claim. You may not recover for your wife’s anxiety because you were not there.
