An Ohio attorney could advise best, but your question remains open for three weeks. It's possible you could have a basis for recovery - but only an Ohio attorney could advise for certain what types of damages are included or excluded. In many jurisdictions, those violations on your part could... View More

It sounds like you were at fault in the accident. When you change lanes it is on you to be sure no one is currently occupying that lane and this sounds like a classic blind spot mistake. As for the marijuana allegations and the sobriety testing, if you are charged with a drug offense or a DUI, you... View More
I'm his legal guardian why would it go into probate until he turns 18?
answered on Aug 5, 2021
When someone under the age of 18 gets a settlement in Ohio, the probate court in the county in which the minor lives has jurisdiction over the settlement. The court will review the settlement, and approve it if it seems fair. It will also act to preserve the minor's money, and put... View More

Yes you can. You can review the Ohio rules of civil procedure for the process. However, doing so on your own can be difficult. You may want to retain an attorney to assist you.
Best of luck.

To a certain extent it depends on the agreement you had with the company. If the crash was due to your actions you may be liable, at least to some extent. You may want to contact your insurance company. Depending on the policy, they will usually pay for the damages. For a definitive answer I... View More

It sounds like a defensible case. For a definitive answer you're going to need to sit down with an attorney to review the facts in detail and figure out the best game plan. Sometimes these issues continue on if the other driver tries to sue you civilly.
The husband was the person hit by the vehicle and did not want to call police and said he was fine but his wife insisted and had the police and ambulance show up. He refused medical treatment and the ambulance left without him. Can they make an insurance claim on my insurance?
answered on May 13, 2021
Yes they can. Injuries from an auto accident sometimes become more obvious only a few days after the incident. It's not uncommon for someone to think they are fine and refuse treatment initially only to go to a doctor a day or two later. If they file a claim, your auto insurance will... View More

You need to go to the clerk's offices at the court(s) involved and get the release to give to the BMV.
I was rear ended at a stop light. At the time of the accident, we exchanged information. She told her insurance company I negligently operated my car and it was my fault.

Likely, you should give your insurance company a call and they'll get ahold of his insurance and sort out your property damage claim. If you end up with a bodily injury claim, then a good Plaintiff's attorney will be able to help you out.
She was not invited. Should I not allow her to leave, or will it come back on me if something happens?
answered on Aug 24, 2020
You should 100% always allow people to leave, particularly a young girl. The idea that you should prevent a young girl from leaving when from what you've mentioned here, has caused no damage but passed through on a golf cart, is terrifying.
