If that's what the contract says, then yes. If that's not what the contract says, then no. If you don't have a contract, then get a new lawyer.

My sincerely condolences for your loss. I believe that an autopsy only has to be performed if the death is under suspicious circumstances or if a crime is suspected which resulted in her death. Give me a call and I’ll be happy to discuss this with you further.

It does not matter about the vehicle you were in being uninsured as to whether you can recover your damages from the responsible party.
The accident occurred when the driver took a left hand turn in a right turn only lane.

If you were hurt you may have an uninsured motorist claim against the other driver. Get estimates of cost to fix it and see an attorney who is a member of the La. Trial Lawyers for the Parish where it happened. They give free consults.

Yes both the unauthorized motorist and owner are liable. Hire a personal injury attorney.
Police wrote it up a a hit and run. Other car was a rental and now the rental company is trying to get me to pay over $1800 and is threatening to turn me over to a collections agency if I do not pay. I have an accident report that the rental company now wants to see. Should I oblige?
answered on Dec 7, 2018
The accident report is public record and if it supports your position then it should absolutely been sent to the company. Good luck.

Is this double jeopardy

Unlikely but why not check with a member of the Louisiana Trial Lawyers Association. You can get tickets for several violations. Paying one doesn't wipe out the others.

Give your insurer power of attorney to deal with your lien holder.
Who was found at fault in the accident?
The company rented the truck from a company in utah which reposessed the truck. Now no one from the company will answer calls. Can i file a claim against the rental company
answered on Jul 17, 2018
If the driver of the truck either didn't have insurance, or if his and/or his employer's insurance isn't sufficient, then the rental company's insurance may be responsible. A good personal injury attorney can help. Give me a call and I'll be happy to discuss this with you further.

If it was in your general vicinity and the officer believes that you put it there, then yes.

You wouldn't but the minor may have a longer statute of limitations assuming it wasn't their fault. Why not contact a member of the La.Trial Lawyers Assoc? They give free consults.

answered on Jun 28, 2018
Answer depends on who got the ticket and what were the circumstances. But I'm guessing the tractor not licensed so probably liability lies with the tractor.

I'm not sure of your question. It may be possible to work something out with the prosecutor to keep it off of her record, depending on the circumstances. Otherwise it will greatly affect your insurance premiums.
The person obsolutely did not pay attention. I was talk of a blinker is on it is OK to turn. The person also has a relative that handles insurance. Another came that had nothing to do with the person that hit me. The trooper talked to the person who hit me and the person that showed up. The... View More
