Dear Bronx Driver:
And your insurance is paying this shop to repair your vehicle? And the only holdup is a seatbelt replacement? Did you look to buy the proper seat belt on your own?

You should consult with an attorney to see what your options are. In New York, there is a threshold that needs to be achieved prior to filing a case. If... View More

It sounds like there's more to this story. If your brother had blacked out while coughing, he would likely have crashed his truck, not just changed lanes. That the trooper did not show up for the court appearance would not warrant dismissal of the ticket, especially if it was the first time... View More

Your brother should speak with a local attorney to fight or resolve this matter. PA DMV can be tricky and harsh for out-of-state violations for CDL drivers. Relatively minor violations can be treated as serious offenses such as certain speeding, unsafe lane change. Paying the fine (if it's... View More
My step-daughter was involved in an accident about a week ago. The police report implies it was her fault. No charges have been filed as far as i know. But, an individual was taken to the hospital.

I'm sorry about your stepdaughter's accident. I hope that she and everyone else involved in the accident is okay. Any defense representation that is required should be arranged by her insurance carrier (or the carrier for the vehicle, if she was driving someone else's car). The... View More

Assuming your daughter has automobile insurance, she should report the matter to her insurance company immediately. The insurance company will investigate the matter and, if your daughter is sued, assign counsel to defend her in the lawsuit and pay any judgment entered against her up to the limits... View More
In a lawsuit am I protected from refusing to answer personal questions about my self and family members, due to religious reasons, privacy, and self incriminating.
answered on Apr 25, 2024
The bottom line is for most personal information, no you cannot.
While your 5th Amendment right against self incrimination can be put forth for some issues. But, if you are the Plaintiff, this could harm your case.

Sorry to hear what happened to you. Unfortunately, I'm unaware of any recognized legal theory by which you could hold the State responsible for an individual's operation of a motor vehicle without a license, even a repeat offender. Moreover, before you can even bring a lawsuit against... View More

It could depend on the municipality. But if there are no liens or other loose ends that need to be resolved, it could be as promptly as a week or two after they receive your signed released. If there are liens, such as those from public health agencies that paid for medical services, that could... View More

In auto insurance, it means that providing late notice to an insurance carrier of an accident could prejudice (or undermine) their rights. They could lose the ability to investigate the accident in a timely manner. If they can't question witnesses when their recollection is fresh, examine a... View More

There is no limit to how much money you can sue for. That said, unless the owner / operator has assets, recovering more than the available insurance can be exceedingly difficult and would likely require you to first obtain a judgment against the defendant (which given today's judicial system...

It could be difficult for an attorney to advise either way without seeing the form. Your concerns about an open-ended authorization with no specifics, or a limitless scope of information retrieval are valid. One option is to review the form with an attorney. Good luck
