Even if I put a new bulb in, the bulb itself will be exposed and visible. If a police officer sees this,... View More

A Mississippi attorney could advise best, but your question remains open for three weeks. Probably, because in many places, that could prevent passing safety inspection. For more precise state-specific standards, a local attorney would know DMV safety checklist best. Good luck

There are some loose ends here in terms of ownership, insurance, and... View 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.
answered on Dec 28, 2020
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... View 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!

answered on Jan 19, 2020
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... View 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.
