My vehicle was just declared totaled. I believe I will owe an additional $6k to pay off my loan after the insurance company gives me cash value, and I do not have gap insurance. Can I go after the bus company for the remainder of my loan, considering I was not at fault?

Generally, no. They only have to pay you the value of the car. How you financed it is your business.
However if you were hurt you have a claim for your injuries and should consult a member of the NH Assn for Justice for the county where the wreck happened.

Speak with a member of the NH Assn for Justice who handles comp claims--they give free consults. Generally, you can be terminated for any reason--reasons go to whether you can collect unemployment. You want to avoid giving statements until you have spoken with the attorney.

Her friend was driving, if i press charges for theft, would my daughter be charged with a crime too?
They were in an unregistered car and had a accident, who is responsible for any medical bills?
answered on Feb 14, 2017
Your daughter might if she gave the keys. However the problem you may have is they probably didn't intend to steal it--just to take it without permission, which is likely a misdemeanor. I would argue the driver is repsonsible at least for herbills, possibly your daughters. If drivers parents... View More
