Contact your insurance agent or your insurance company (your insurance ID card or policy has a number to report accidents) and let them know about your accident, if you haven't done so already. Make sure you get the claim number. Let them know of the attorney's name and information if... View More

If you currently have an attorney you should address these issues directly with him or her. If you have come into new information or facts about your case the first call should be to them. They will be more involved and have better knowledge of your direct facts that what you may find online.

A Louisiana attorney could advise best, but your question remains open for a week. However, your question doesn't look like something an attorney would be needed to answer. You could contact your state office of motor vehicles and look into the process for getting a CDL (exams, fees, etc.).... View More

Inattention. Care, speed under control, watching out for other drivers. Concentration on the driving.
They really took their time, first saying that my vehicle was totaled, after 2 months they changed my adjuster the new person said that it was not totalled and I would be issued a check a few weeks later I received the check and it was towed to the body shop.

I do not quite understand your question----if the vehicle is stored at the owner's home, then there's no storage fees incurred for that time period. If the vehicle is at a tow/wreck or 3rd party facility, then more information is needed---I suggest you contact an accident/injury lawyer... View More

What court is the ticket from? When is your court date set for? Is it in Louisiana? I handle tickets in courts all over Louisiana.

What kind of belt is it that it needs? Is the vehicle an old model? There does not seem like a valid reason for your vehicle to be in the shop for 9 months. Is there any more information you can share that will help provide an answer to your question.

It appears your accident happened in California, according to news reports I've found. If so, you would need to speak with an attorney licensed in California. This question board is for Louisiana.
I bought a car December of 20, in March of 21 I ended up in some road construction work that we were being flagged to drive through. I proceeded to drive through like normal. Until my serpentine belt started squealing pretty much immediately and I asked the flag boy what was that down on the road?... View More

A Louisiana attorney could advise best, but your question remains open for four weeks. At this point, you could try to arrange for a free or very brief consult with a local attorney to outline your options in terms of using an attorney or handling things yourself in small claims court. It's... View More
Went to sign the settlement check but wanted a copy of complete check ( front and back) I was told no I couldn't get the back of the check because it was unethical and was told that until I sign the check my pay will be reduced every week is this true

A Louisiana attorney could advise best, but your question remains open for three weeks. An attorney might need more information to determine what is going on - it sounds like you might have a wage lien that is accumulating. That's only a general guess from the weekly reduction you mention. An... View More
I had insurance on 2 of my vehicles, I’m not sure why the 3rd wasn’t on there. I was in the hospital having surgery and someone backed out of the parking space next to my car swiping the back corner, my taillight and scratched my bumper.
answered on Jan 6, 2023
No, if your vehicle was legally parked at the time of the accident, Louisiana's “No Pay, No Play” law does not apply even though you were not carrying insurance.
If need more details let me know.

More information is needed to respond to your question-----often times the determination of fault is based on the specific facts of what happened and/or what's presented as evidence to the Judge. In any event, most attorneys who represent injured people will provide a free initial... View More
I fired my lawyer because he wasn’t fighting for me and made me stop treating while I was still hurting. But I can’t work , I’m in school with no car and need transportation and money. What can I do? I already have a new lawyer looking into my case.
answered on Aug 31, 2022
Since you have stated that you have already fired your lawyer and you already have sought a new lawyer, I will reply---you are on the right track in seeking to hire another lawyer to assume representation of you----most attorneys who represent injured people will provide a free initial consultation...

That's 2 different scenarios with 2 different answers (most likely). The operator of the vehicle (and not the owner of the vehicle) would be responsible for any tickets issued assuming the ticket is issued to the driver. Likewise, the operator of the vehicle (and not the owner of the... View More

You can submit this to your insurance company---if your insurance company says that you have coverage then they will handle it. If they say you do not have coverage, then I would contact a lawyer (or 2) and sit down and discuss the specifics of your situation: (1) whether you have claim against... View More

A Louisiana attorney could advise best, but your question remains open for two weeks. I hope everyone involved in the accident is okay. Unfortunately, it is as they described it to you - the subrogation department will want its money back. If you feel you could attempt negotiate, you could consider... View More
My age is written incorrectly, I do not believe the statute number does not exist, and I also believe the officer was supposed to write down the vin number to my vehicle. There was also another section that was not filled out.

With that many major screw ups, your traffic court lawyer can probably get you out of this.
What are the laws here in Louisiana on that???
He came home then called police to report the accident it wasn’t a bad accident but he panicked. This is his first time even getting a ticket. Should he get an attorney and what could he be facing.

double-post: He can represent himself but I was always told that a fool represents himself so I recommend that he hire a traffic ticket attorney to represent him so that: (1) he is aware of his options; (2) his attorney will not unknowingly allow him to be taken advantage of by the... View More
