No insurance will pay you without getting your title changed. That's the law. To prevent people passing off totaled vehicles as not having been in a wreck.

You may have waited too long. One of the ways to demonstrate to the court that a parent's rights should be terminated is to show that, for a period of at least six months immediately preceding the filing of the petition, there was no performance of parental duties, including contacting the...

If the injury is serious enough to warrant suit, a police accident report should be promptly filed. That will enable your friend to make a claim for uninsured motorist benefits under his auto policy, if he has that coverage. He might also be able to assert claims under the auto policies for any...

I'm assuming it's their car. Assuming you have insurance, make a claim under the liability part of your policy--that's what it's there for. May be an exception if it is deemed a loaner.

However their insurance should cover them for the damages

Depends what the medical records say, depends on if you are full or limited tort, depends how much you have said to the insurance company. So far you've done an excellent job of minimizing your injuries. If you have any further problems I suggest you go back to your doctor to be checked out.

I think so, unless your running lights are that much dimmer than the full-on headlights. I know my car (a Saab) has its lights on all the time, and I never have to turn them on at all -- day or night.

Best of luck to you.

Probably because of money -- it takes cash to remedy such a situation, including traffic/feasibility studies, construction, etc. And the cash needed is going to take away from somewhere else in the local budget.

No you do not have an action against the police officer.

First, you need a criminal defense attorney. Second, do not discuss this case on any website even this one. Don't discuss it in emails. They are subject to being taken by court order. Do not erase anything.

If you had insurance just notify them of the filing and let them handle it. I would send them a note, certified return receipt.

If you get anything notify them.

If you have collision coverage, you should contact your insurance company. If you do not, your only recourse would be to sue the other driver. Although you can handle this yourself in small claims court before a magistrate, you would be best advised to hire a lawyer. If it goes beyond a... View More

It's a low amount but then you didn't see a regular medical doctor, may have given the other side information they can use against you, and shouldn't be negotiating yet. Early quick settlements are cheap settlements. You want fast? You get less.

They will figure out it's you. You'll get charges for leaving the scene, driving without insurance. You need to figure how you are going to pay the damage to the fellow's property. Worth your while at least getting a consultation from an attorney who handles citations in the county... View More

Not unless you can show he was careless in his driving, in which case you can recover the market value of the cat. Your husband knew what the cat would do and let him escape--it's not some driver's fault.

They can mail you a citation. You can fight it by pleading not guilty. You need to explain your speed, that you had slowed for snow, etc. Problem is you did go off the road so something was more slippery than it seems.

I assume you mean inter-company arb. They should pay and if not a complaint can be made to the insurance commissioner. I assume you've had the damage evaluated by someone you want to have evaluate it.

If you were hurt in the wreck you may have a claim for your injuries. Members of the... View More

Well, did you have the dog in a dog box? Was he secured? A driver has to drive. Their job isn't to secure the pets of passengers--that's the passenger's job!

At this point it will be difficult to prove their damage as opposed to yours. Technically, if you can show what parts they damaged, that are not repaired by you, let them pay for those.

I suggest you run it through your collision, they will go after dog owner and get their money plus your deductible. Faster and easier.
