as he goes to turn right still in the intersection he hits the side near the front of the vehicle behind him that was going straight
answered on Sep 11, 2019
See my other answer to which I'd add--the confused driver can claim that the other driver did not leave an assured clear distance ahead of themselves which would have obviated the contact.

Car that changed his mind in the middle of the traffic stream.

If they’re in the same lane, the car who rear ended him is at fault for failure to maintain assured clear distance ahead.
the full settlement check first and they would need to deposit it into their account and wait for it to clear before I would be issued my check. Is this normal?
I was in a no injury , car accident yesterday. I was cited and considered at fault. They said I ran a red light. Which I did not I even said the light was yellow as I was moving through an intersection. A truck in the left turn lane hit me as I was going straight. My car is most likely a total loss...

I'm glad you were not injured. But from the standpoint of liability, the citation and your statement that the light was yellow place you in a difficult position. If it's possible to retrieve video imagery of the accident that might support your position, that's a possibility to... View More
I received citations for driving under suspension and driving with no insurance. Can the police cite me on private property even if that company has cameras?
answered on Jun 19, 2019
I'm not sure what private property has to do with cameras. You caused destruction of property. The police may investigate that. If they find you are driving under suspension with no insurance, likewise. You are looking at a looooooooooooooong suspension, as the Judge may figure the first one... View More

You should contact a member of the Assn for Justice of the state where it happened, get the names of their members in the county where it happened, they give free consults. Get a copy of the police report. Yes, it is enough to go by but it's good to have the complete picture.

It's not clear but I'm assuming you are speaking of medical benefits or liability?

Initially it was deemed repairable and then was marked as a total loss. Fine Line is basically holding my car hostage asking for an exorbitant amount for work they were not even authorized to do. The insurance company wants me to pay the difference between what they feel is reasonable and what Fine... View More

If fine line did it without authorization it should be on them. Your position should be that the insurance company should pay and then go after fine line. File a complaint with the insurance commissioner. Talk to your state rep.

If you co-sign a loan, you’re in the hook for the loan, not any accidents he may get into with the car he buys with the loan proceeds. If the car is titled to you, you need to make sure there is insurance on the car. If it’s titled to him, that’s his problem. If you are driving the car when... View More
Is that true the police cant do anything because its private property
answered on Jan 21, 2019
THEY MAY NOT BE ABLE TO CITE BECAUSE IT IS PRIVATE PROPERTY. BUT THAT DOES NOT PROHIBIT YOU FROM FILING A CIVIL LAWSUIT FOR DAMAGES. ESPECIALLY IF YOU THINK YOU WERE NOT AT FAULT.
I SUGGEST YOU CONTACT AN ATTORNEY WHO CAN HELP YOU.

A dump truck was traveling east when the left front tire failed (blow-out or unknown cause, possibly road hazard). The truck ran into the highway median, hit the Armco-style metal barrier which shredded the tire and totally destroyed the truck. Part of the barrier (a wooden post) was projected into... View More
answered on Jan 9, 2019
You can take the same approach--it's a single vehicle accident they have to show that the tire blew, they have to make a claim against the tire manufacturer, not you.
In most states they have a duty to promptly and fairly settle cases. If they don't and you had property damage... View More
My dog ran away late New Year's Eve. I posted about it on Facebook, searching for her. I was contacted 3 days later via text by a woman who claims she may have hit her, now a week later, she's coming after me to pay for the deductible, can I fight this? There is no proof the accident even... View More

You should report her claim to your homeowners insurance. Did she pay the vet bill? Generally,you are responsible in most states for your animal's actions. If you let them loose, then you may be responsible.

Typically, a lawsuit is filed where the defendant (1) resides; (2) has a principal place of business; (3) conducted activity giving rise to the claim; or (4) where all or part of the claim took place (i.e. where the accident took place). However, a lawsuit can be filed where a plaintiff resides, IF... View More
My dog snuck out of the house and ran towards a car that was going down the street pretty fast. The car slowed down slightly as my dog ran towards it and she bounced off of their tire. The car never stopped and sped off down the road as I tried to flag them down. My dog went into shock, but we... View More

I doubt it. If they violate a speed law that's one thing. However duty to stop is if property is damaged and they caused it. Your pooch ran into them, it sounds like. Time to dog proof your fence.

I don’t practice in Ohio but your question remains open for four weeks. If you were represented by an attorney, it could be worthwhile to ask them to go over the terms of your release and other closing documents for the case.

payments, but at the accident neither one of us was hurt. The police report list no injuries
answered on Oct 11, 2018
Then you will want to defend the lawsuit. Your insurance is likely to defend if you were not listed as at fault. Have you reported the accident and the suit to them?
Or insurance information? I have a copy of the video from speedway.

What do you mean by "won't give me the correct statement?" Whose statement? What does it say? What do you think it should say?
