A Mississippi attorney could advise best, but your question remains open for a week. I'm sorry about your accident. You could reach out to local attorneys to see if they could help you review the matter. But unfortunately, since this happened 14 years ago, that timeline probably closes a lot... View More

A Mississippi attorney could advise best, but your question remains open for two weeks. Until you're able to discuss this with a Mississippi attorney, my advice to you is -
Please don't drive the vehicle without insurance... period. It is treated as a misdemeanor in many... View More
I was already in the left lane traveling south bound when I attempted to use a median to cross over to get back onto the interstate to travel northbound. This is when I got hit.

A Mississippi attorney could advise best, but your question remains open for two weeks. Something doesn't sound right about what you did. If you drove over a median meant only to separate two lanes of opposing traffic, that may make you liable here. A local attorney could advise more... View More

The answer is depends. First, how much are you getting in the settlement and how much do you owe in support. Based on the basic law in Mississippi, the DHS will want to recover as much as possible. If the child support lien can be fully satisfied while you still make any recovery, they will... View More

That provision about private property does not sound right - most jurisdictions will apply ordinary vehicle & traffic law provisions, public or private property. Depending on the extent of damages, it could be something to handle in small claims court. A local attorney could provide more... View More

Since he has now filed for bankruptcy, you will need to pursue the matter through the bankruptcy court. I recommend that you consult a bankruptcy attorney to determine whether a proof of claim needs to be filed, to get you on the list of creditors, etc. Be aware that you will probably not receive...

If your license was revoked due to an accident involving your stolen vehicle, you can contest the revocation by gathering evidence showing you were not at fault. Start by obtaining police reports that document the theft and the circumstances of the wreck to prove you weren’t driving or... View More
And I got a Witness.

You can only sue the state if the state or a state employee did something wrong. Did you get the tag number of the car that hit you? Have you filed an accident report, if so, then possibly the police department will have information on the car that hit you and you can pursue that claim.
The cop was clearly in the wrong and that was known by all parties and witnesses. However, when the report came out, it stated that I was never given a breathalyzer test. Can I sue for this?
answered on Oct 2, 2023
Yes, you can sue the cop for rear-ending you. None of the other allegations in your question really matter.
You can recover the cost to repair your vehicle, loss of use, your medical expenses, and depending upon the nature and extent of your bodily injuries, maybe even pain and suffering.
Big truck was being pulled out of ditch which had traffic stopped with no warnings

It is difficult to tell based on these facts alone. There has to be fault, that is, someone did they something they shouldn't or failed to do something they should have.
The insurance company does not want to pay me. Also stating that I owe them money. Is this right? They've sent me a demand letter.

A Mississippi attorney could advise best, but your question remains open for two weeks. I hope you and your passenger are okay.

A Mississippi attorney could advise best, but your question remains open for three weeks. Reach out to criminal defense attorneys without delay at this point - this is not something that most car accident attorneys work with. Good luck

You should consider speaking with an experienced personal injury lawyer about this matter. Just because you hit the vehicle from behind, does not necessarily mean that you are at fault. For example, if you turned a corner during the night (or even day) and the commercial vehicle was parked in a... View More

answered on Aug 21, 2022
While they can technically keep you from getting the vehicle itself, they should still allow you to gain access to the vehicle so that you can get your belongings. Of course, if there is a pending bill, assuming that you have an attorney, either your insurance company or the other party's... View More

answered on Aug 10, 2022
It really depends on the circumstances; however, when it comes to the consideration of total property loss, the insurance company still has an obligation to keep their insured (you) in the loop. Assuming that they did not and that you have a lawyer representing you on any type of personal injury... View More
