There may be a claim for this injury. If you plan on bringing a claim you must make sure to file suit before the statute of limitations runs in Mississippi.

Go with the homeowners, let them take care of it. 1) very tough to prove they left it be; likely they don't have heat sensing equipment and did what they could to check. 2) you left, so you're saying they should have watched? 3) you live there--you may need them.

Ask your attorney. Short answer is that the first trials are usually better than average because the plaintiffs have been hand selected. MDL settlement amounts may be lower also because there is a tendency to as a whole give a little less than a jury might win. Also, on damage issues, most trials... View More

Him forcing you off the road would result in a claim by the city that you'd have to get his insurance to pay. You have a claim for your injuries, the damage to your car. If there was a camera at the intersection see if there are images you can look at.

I have seen cases similar to this in the State of Florida. You should contact an attorney to see if a payment plan can be worked out with some kind of arrangements made with the Division of Driver License in your state. Good luck.

You may not have insurance as of the date of the crash. Your insurance company is taking the position that you did not have any coverage. This, in turn, will save the insurance company the money it would have paid out on the claim. When insurance is cancelled, there are certain notice provisions... View More

The "statute of limitations" or the amount of time in which you are able to file a claim varies from state-to-state. In Washington state, there is a three year period in which an injured person has the right to sue.
