You can fight this ticket, but weather was not the only cause. That said, you should still fight the ticket and the best way to do this is to hire a traffic ticket/criminal defense lawyer in the jurisdiction where the ticket was issued ---he should be able to provide you your options.
He lied and she had a license. Gave statement saying he was dishonest. Will my insurance pay for damages to private property (gate) and my car? I have full coverage

For the storage facility/gate damages, that could depend on the scope of your... View More

Ins is working on settling but so far he is not accepting. If he decides to sue us, we are worried about some money my husband just inherited. Is there a way to avoid them getting it by putting it in someone elses account?

Second, that post nuptial gets filed with the Clerk of Court and the Mortgages & Conveyances Office and is effective against 3d parties.

A Louisiana attorney could advise best, but your question remains open for two weeks. It's possible you could have a case; for a more definitive answer, one would need more details.

Do not know what "oding" means. Need an explanation of how he totaled your truck if it was parked.
I hydroplaned off the road and hit a concrete culvert at 45-50 mph. Single car crash, no other person was involved.

I'm sorry your post remains open for five weeks. At this point, you could contact a Louisiana attorney to see if they would offer a free initial consult to look into the matter. If this is something that might have fallen through the cracks with air bag recalls in recent years, if nothing... View More

It’s important to always carry insurance and see if you can afford Uninsured Motorist Insurance too. That will not help you now but may in the future. Call an attorney and see what your options are.
I was parked at an apartment complex and a tree from their property fell on my car. The owner of the duplex next door said he saw it leaning and had told the leasing agency of the apartments that it was dangerous and needed to be cut.

Absolutely. The property owner is 100% liable for the damage caused by trees on the owner's property

There is a set off. So for instance IF the fault driver had $100,000 and you had $50,000 UM and you settle with the fault driver for $85,000, THEN the most you can get from your UM is $35,000 (cause you walked away from $15,000 of the fault driver's coverage). ALL medical care providers and... View More
