He reversed and pushed my car out of the way with his car. Then when he was able to get out, he backed up and hit my car again before driving off . I’m not pressing charges & I wasn’t injured, but can the police? I heard them mention something about private property, but also heard them... Read more »

It could be any number of charges.
For starters, for the damage to your car, get estimates and send them to your insurance company.
After the driver struck me, he proceeded to accelerate into my truck trying to flee while I was standing on the outside of his truck making sure him and his passenger were okay and also trying to get his insurance information.

You may end up being eligible for compensation since he was trying to flee. Typically, in these situations, there will be some interplay between the compensation act and the insurance company. I would highly recommend that you reach out to a lawyer that has experience in both areas so that they can... Read more »
They exchanged information and the other driver admitted fault. But told his insurance they were both at fault. We had to file police report, get them to acquire the video and get the video sent to them. I keep calling the other driver insurance to get the status of the claim but he hardly ever... Read more »

A Mississippi attorney could best advise here, but your post remains open for three weeks. I hope your son and the other driver are okay. As a general matter, I do not see a situation that would provide the basis to sue for mental distress. Because the other driver told his insurance that both... Read more »

The notice saying you need to send proof would say who it is. If your license is in Mississippi it would be to the department of driver licensing. Your state police should be able to tell you.
Good luck!

I'm already paying for an older charge, and I am not on probation

Likely not, as most people are not put in jail for tickets. That being said, as long as you are still paying towards your older charge, you should still be good to go. As to the car accident, I would encourage you to reach out to a lawyer, as you may be entitled to compensation if the other driver... Read more »

Was your son injured? Did he live with you? How old is he? Does he have his own car? Did the insurance company know he lived with you and his age? Feel free to email me at mike@855mikewins.com if you want more information.

A Mississippi attorney would be best qualified to address your question, but your post remains open for three weeks. At this point, reach out to attorneys if you were injured in the fall. Most attorneys would give a free initial consult for this type of accident, and if they determined that you had... Read more »
I know financially I am liable but as far as punishment what is the standard. They so far have issued
her two traffic tickets. No license and no insurance which are both in adult court because there is no traffic violations for youth so what do you think will happen

she has a defense as an 11 year old can't form intent (they say). As far as the no insurance it's knowingly operate the car on the road without.
As to the insurance, if you notified the insurance company when you bought the new car or shortly after that then it would have... Read more »
Sued from motor accident 2013 for 9,000 now have hold on my license. Can’t afford to pay this but wanting to fix so I can eat license what do I do

You may need to look into a Chapter 7 Bankruptcy. Call a competent attorney. You may need to prepare for it beforehand. Schedule F and the Notice To Creditors should list the Creditor Driver, Insurance Co., the Licensing Bureau with your Driver's License Number in the address, and anyone... Read more »
People tend to get in the turning lane to pass traffic at a light instead of waiting till they get closer to the intersection to enter it at what point can they enter the turning lane legally

I believe it's 63-3-603 and that says only in the turn lane when ready to make the turn. That doesn't mean immediately but it doesn't mean a block before.
What do I need to do

Without delay, provide the summons and complaint to the insurance carrier that carried your policy at the time of the accident. You should be able to do this via email. You might have to call first to set up a claim number and learn who the claim rep assigned to your file will be. If the carrier... Read more »

Some insurance policies cover you if you get a car and put it on the policy. If you had no policy at the time, file a claim with the other person's insurance for the damage to your car.
They only had two bridge out signs I've been trying to find out what the laws are in ms on bridge out costruction

One of the issues you could be confronted with here is the general responsibility to maintain a safe speed for given conditions and to maintain a lookout while driving, regardless of jurisdiction. I hope you were not injured, but based on possible injuries or damages, you could arrange a... Read more »
The dead was tested but not driver it was determined by a field sobriety test they were good to go? But another person did same and both were tested

No great reason unless the person had no sign of alcohol and claimed no use--they need probable cause, and if the person wasn't dead on the scene the fact there is a hit isn't enough.

Assuming you have insurance, the insurance company should be able to fund the defense on this case (assuming that it's civil); otherwise, you will have to hire a private attorney to represent you. That being said, these types of cases are incredibly fact-intensive.
If this is a... Read more »
I got in a wreck in my neighborhood with a car that was parked on the right side of the road facing forward with them in the car being completely stopped. Would it be my fault or theirs.

It could depend on what the parking regulations were, what the weather/visibility conditions were, the operation of your vehicle, and other factors. You could consult with an attorney in Mississippi who could examine the matter in further detail.
Tim Akpinar
In other lane. She told the cop she had her blinker on to come in other lane, but she didn’t. So they said I failed to yield to her. So what do I need to do. Her blinker was never on.

Assuming you aren't injured, take the position it's on her. If cited plead not guilty. Even if she had a blinker on or off, the real problem here is that you apparently were pulling onto the highway from an exit (not clear from the above), and if you were any traffic on the highway tends...

I also have a injury case

It really depends on what the adjuster has communicated to you and whether you have accepted anything to officially settle the case.
I would encourage you to reach out to an attorney so that they can get more details about your case. Most firms, including mine, offer free consultations to... Read more »
