He himself would be the proximate cause of his injuries and could not recover from you individually for his injuries sustained in an accident while driving your car. He could, however, still recover from the insurance company of the driver at fault or from your insurance company if they have... View More

Your uninsured motorist if you have it. Why not contact a member of the Nv.Assn for Justice? They give free consultations.
I was involved in a car accident and the officers did a dui test on me but they never tested the other driver. I’m not claiming that she was drinking just doesn’t seem right to me. I was claimed at fault because I was making a left hand turn. As the ticket states failure to yeild at an... View More

No, it's because cop felt you may have been driving. He needed "probable cause." if she didnt' appear to have been drinking, no reason to test her.
Left turn vehicle has duty to yield.
Unless she came through on a yellow light for her, I don't see her being at fault.

It's like any crash involving damage to property--the leaving the scene law applies. They have to give their name, registration and insurance information.
She is listed on the policy but not as a driver because she does not have a license, my insurance company is telling me my coverage limit is $10,000 and anything over I personally will be liable for. Is there anyway i can dissolve myself of any responsibility for the accident as a whole and hold... View More

You need to talk to a bankrupcty attorney --look for a member of the NACA --go to consumeradvocates.org
Ask your insurance company to divide up the payments and get releases.
Look at your policy. Do you have homeowners? Check and see if that covers any excess liability.

Two years ago I was in car accident and I was not insured and only had my permit. The other party is trying to put me at fault and in this case I will be because I did not have my license.

Fight the reopen. She has I assume filed a motion to reopen. May be worth your while paying a defense attorney to at least advise you.
By the way your being without a license doesn't make you at fault. You are only at fault if you cause the wreck. Makes sense for you to get a copy of... View More

Understand you won't get 24 k if you want the car--you have to buy it back from them for salvage. Looks like you are getting a decent deal--take it. You say the wreck was deemed your fault. If you agree fine. If not, why not contact a member of the Nevada Trial Lawyers Assn--they give free consults.

Now we are not happy with the lawyers office because we call we never get in touch with the office and when we do they give us no information and tell us there going to call us back but never do we have to...

I suggest you sit down with the attorney in person to review things. You may always change attorneys but a new attorney may have a concern about jumping in the middle of something. There are time lags in litigation, so I'm not shocked--the lawyers office is doing a not good job of advising you... View More

You do have to accept subpoenas. You can always speak with the lawyer who... View More

I don't know if Arizona has "stacking" or if you can add your uninsured motorist, but the problem is that the attorney can only get the coverage the person has on their policy. It could be 25, it could be more.
Question is can he negotiate with health insurers to say you get... View More

He signed a independent contractor contract, is responsible for all of his costs and receives a 1099 now I am being sued
answered on Aug 28, 2013
As I said in my previous answer the test of whether someone who does work for you is an independent contractor is how much control you have over them.
answered on Aug 28, 2013
If the person is truly an independent contractor probably not. However, paying a person as an independent contractor or having them sign a contract to that effect does not necessarily make them an independent contractor. If you have a enough control over many of their activities, a court my say... View More

I was excluded from the policy (unbeknownst to me). The other insurance co. is trying to collect $10,000 from me for repairs. It cannot have cost that much. Am I liable?
answered on Jun 23, 2012
Assuming you were at fault you are liable. Of course you have a right to see the itemized repair bill.
