Yes.. Should have hired an attorney. You are lucky you did not lose your TNDL. You might contact the
Department of Safety, but it will probably do no good without demanding a hearing.

A Tennessee attorney could advise best, but your question remains open for a week, and it looks like the accident has put you in severe hardship. There are lots of issues in your post and some are difficult to sort out. One option for you in pursuing relief here could be to arrange a free initial... View More

Hire an attorney to prepare for a Preliminary Hearing. Also you need to make a report to the DOS Financial Responsibility Section.

You use your evidence to defend yourself when you are charged by warrant or indictment. Give that evidence to your lawyer you hired. You cannot prevent the Grand Jury returning a true bill.

Was there another vehicle? If so, then a conviction for Reckless Driving will be Negligence Per Se for any civil suit for damages. If not, several points will go against your MVR anyway. Hire an attorney to defend you against a problem you could not avoid.
I sold vehicle in June 2021. I was just notified that the vehicle had been in an accident in Dec 2021 and it was still in my name.

You will need a TN attorney to represent you. There is some caselaw which helps you, but your actions and intent will have to be testified to. And you may be getting sued for alot more than the $11K, which could revoke your TNDL.

If it is worth the trouble, you might file an Action To Recover Personal Property in Sessions Court. You can argue the stereo is not part of the vehicle, but you might lose.
They sent someone to pick us up and told me to leave my key in the car and it would be towed within the hour. It sat on the side of the road for 7 days and it was vandalized and it's totaled. The dealership said my insurance has to do the claim bx they aren't responsible for it . Is that right?
answered on Jun 19, 2023
If they agreed to get it and you did not know they did not do so, you have an argument they are responsible. If your insurance pays they may pursue the dealership.

The answer to your initial question is that the police report conclusions are not determinative but, if admissible, may be persuasive.
Check your state’s laws if police reports are admissible in small claims court. Or if you can subpoena the witness and police officer to the small... View More

Hire an attorney to represent you. Conviction will mean 6 points against your MVR, and you are only allowed 11. It is very easy to get caught again within 1 year. Speeding will usually mean less points and there are numerous possible pleas. Once you lose the TNDL, it will be bad. Some type of... View More

It could destroy either injured parties' suit for damages. It also might affect a claim against the car owner's insurance policy. The owner needs to hire an attorney now to see how to proceed without committing perjury. This is a public forum, so keep quiet until you both know how to proceed.

A Tennessee attorney could advise best, but your question remains open for four weeks. One would need to see the lien agreement to understand more about the lienholder's reluctance to carrying out its terms. But lien agreements are usually binding.

Police report was not made as the girl says the much older other driver basically talked them out of calling. My car is messed up and the drivers dad says she’s not responsible. Am I out of luck?
answered on Sep 9, 2022
Sure. You could sue her for the property damage. Winning and collecting may be another issue. A lot more facts would be needed to assess your case. Consult a local attorney to determine your options.

Not sure of your question. But usually you will want to sue the other driver and/or owner for Negligence as a Property Tort. Hopefully you have service information, and maybe he has insurance. File suit in General Sessions.
