I had just merged from the opposite side of traffic into the middle lane, the one with yellow lines, when a car hit me trying to merge into the same center lane. Their insurance says that since I kept going in the center lane instead of staying there ones I entered the lane I am at fault, but I... View More

Center lane right of way issues are tough ones and will be heavily fact dependent. If you were fully in the turn lane before the other vehicle enetered the turn lane you may be in the right on this one. I would suggest talk to a lawyer to fully explain the details.

If he had permission, and if the owner had insurance, then that would cover a potential claim. If your firend had his own auto policy, or lived with a relative that did he could look to that policy if it had uninsured motorist coverage. He should talk to a member of the tennessee Trial Lawyers... View More

Only if they don't show up for the hearing in Tennessee. Now if they are in Tennessee they need to know what address the parole board is using otherwise they can miss mail and then bad things happen--it's on the person to make sure that the parole office has the right address--in fact... View More

If you are in court you amend your caption or complaint, if allowed. Otherwise, depends what you mean. However if you were injured in a wreck, why not contact a member of the Tenn. Assn for Justice? They give free consults.
Scratches on the car were there even before I bumped. Claims that I dented the bumper when in fact I have pictures and videos proving otherwise. I did not exchange information, she got my information and that is all.
There is 0 damage on my car.

Report it to your insurance. Let them handle it. Make copies of whatever you send them.
I was in TN on vacation with my family in a rental mini van. We were at a 4-way intersection but a 3-way stop but the stop sign only said STOP, it did not have a 3-way tag below the sign. I stopped for 30-45 seconds waiting to see who would go, no one was going at-all and no traffic was flowing... View More

In no place that I know of is there an automatic rule about tickets.
Not sure what the problem is. The rental car insurance would pay and only question is is it chargeable to you or is there a deductible.
Focus on where the other car hit. If you had full position should have been... View More
On the police report it states there were three vehicles involved. I told the police 5 because the one vehicle that hit me was not there at the scene but three others were and including myself makes four I assumed that they were all involved. So it might seem now as if I am lying if I want the... View More

He's began sleeping with multiple girls,lying about everything,doin drugs,stealing money &just being disrespectful.will he go to juvenile
answered on Dec 12, 2016
Are grandparent's pressing charges? He can be made to pay restitution. Chances are he won't be doing any time because no one will be able to prove he took money, and the rest doesn't get anyone sent anywhere.
He has a revoked like license and also totaled the truck.
answered on Nov 28, 2016
He will want to ask the question of an attorney who handles criminal cases--he has a couple of serious charges he is looking at.. He should make arrangements to tow it or it will be towed at large expense.
I have insurance on my vehicles, but her mother doesn't always carry insurance on her car. Just to clarify. My daughter is 16. I didn't know if this makes a difference since she is a minor and still my responsibility.
answered on Nov 4, 2016
You are only potentially liable for another driver if you are the OWNER of the vehicle. If you are divorced, there is no family relationship between you and your ex wife, so assuming that you wife is the owner ( that is, her name only in on the title certificate) then you could not be held liable....

And then the check didn't come for 2 months causing many additional costs I want to be compensated for.

You can ask them to pay; if they refusce contact the consumer counsel for your state AG's office.
The officer who took the report marked on my citation In Car Video Does that mean he had video, the other driver had video? I know I didnt
answered on Oct 22, 2016
It may mean that the police officer recorded the stop. Without seeing the citation, hard to tell. Consult counsel.
What is usually the consequences for this
answered on Sep 28, 2016
If it's a parking lot not sure they can ticket you. Worth it to save on points to at least get a consultation from an attorney who handles traffic citations in the county where your citation is from.
For now, plead not guilty.
answered on Sep 27, 2016
Every case is different. I would suggest that you contact a good local attorney as soon as possible. Good luck.
The person that hit me was totally at fault, I had to go to the emergency room and I am currently undergoing physical therapy for my neck but I have been able to work.

First, be glad they didn't. They'd get you to say something you thought was helpful but that helped them. Do understand that you only get paid after a hassle and at a minimum you need to contact a member of the Tenn Assn for Justice --they give free consultations--to understand your... View More
The other driver was in fault and died at the scene I would call driver 2. But driver 1 did not have a valid license and was not in fault according to the officer and insurance, the car was his mother. It has been 7 days later and no warrant has been filed and the officer said he would. Waiting,... View More

Maybe he changed his mind. Like when an officer says he'll issue a citation and doesn't--isn't necessarily bad.
It's been over a year since the crime was committed.

It's not clear what you mean. If you mean juvenile went to district justice court over traffic ticket,now gets suit papers from person he hit. Yes. One is in the "criminal" system, one is civil.
If he is getting sued, the insurance covering the car he was in needs to be... View More

You are forced to junk title any car that has been totaled where you decide to keep it. There are plenty of gently used elderly vehicles that don't have junk title.
